Went for a restyle on arrival was told to hang my coat No offer to take it from me In other places who charge this price range they would always offer Shows disdain for the client
The advertised coffee beer water doesn’t exist on the three occasions I been there
Showed zac a pic of what I would like but came out with a bog standard cut any barber could do at a third of the price
The cut lasted half an hour max not 45mins they say The place was empty and had to be opened when I arrived I can only assume it’s going out of business Not surprisingly given lack of courtesy and professionalism

I booked a head shave and beard trim for my Partner for his birthday. Guiseppe was his stylist and did such a fantastic service! He took alot of care and time and very friendly and chatty. Would recommend Porters Barbers Brixton to anyone that wants to experience a calm and relaxing environment full of skilled friendly people 😁

I don't often write reviews but I'm so pleased with my most recent cut from Porters that I felt I should.
You certainly get what you pay for here, which is an attentive and honest barber that really know what they're doing (Natalie was my most recent and was excellent).
Have a beer while you wait for your turn in the chair and prepare to leave looking sharp.
Thanks Porters.

First visit to this barbers and it was really poor. The service supposedly included 'consultation, wash, scalp massage, cut' - I wasn't offered any of this apart from the cut. Barber hardly said two words to me the whole time, didn't listen to what I wanted, and gave me one of the worst trims I've had in a long time. The place was a total mess too. Expected a lot more for the price which was more than double what you'd pay at a standard high street barbers - and you'd get a much better service too. None of the staff were wearing face coverings and no safety measures were in place either. Definitely

The haircut was great. Natalie paid a lot of attention to how MY hair actually grows and tailored MY cut to MY head. Experience has taught me only about 10% of barbers show this level of experience and attention. She was 5*
I had a look though the website before entering and was over promised “In our establishment, a complimentary drink welcomes each client. Feel free to choose from a selection of teas, beer or scotch.” There is even talk of a fancy coffee machine which appears to not be in the premises any more.
The actual cut was great. The shop was clean and styled nicely, and the team

This place is absolutely fantastic! I travel up to 60 minutes every time to get a cut here and I was never disappointed !
The barbers are fun and open, very carefull, thoughtful and skilled, really professional and always up for a challenge.
The place is so beautifully made and with so much attention to detail and care for every decorations, that just they just carry a bit of a story with them! If I didn't had the haircuts before, I would just try it out once, out of curiosity, because you can't make this place so beautifully crafted and ever expect just another average haircut! They are fantastic

I visited East Dulwich for a haircut this morning on the strength of their Facebook adverts and Covid policies, only to be really disappointed (this was my first professional haircut since quarantine began): - no additional space or separation between the barbers - no gloves or visors, just face masks - no disposable gowns/sheets - I was ushered… from the street into a chair before I realised that I had missed any opportunity to sanitise my hands - my mask was removed and left dangling onto my gown, so that the inside picked up hair (and my barber completely dismissed my distress about this

Ali is by far the best barber I’ve found south of the river. I’ve seen him a couple of times now and he consistently gets it bang on the money. The guy has meticulous attention to detail and really takes his time on all the finer details of my cut. He knows his art. Friendly conversation every time as well. Top man, top barber.

Really great experience. Staff were friendly, polite and listen in great detail to what you want from your hair cut. I took in a picture of what I wanted and the barber kept asking specific questions about the details, which was great. The actual place is designed really well and looks great. It looks and feels very high class. Price wise, yes it is more than other barbers in the area, but I was very happy with the cut and the overall experience. I will definitely be returning.

We were staying in Brixton on vacation and my boyfriend was looking pretty scrubby and said we needed to find a barber the next morning. We were walking down the main street and saw Porters was open which was a very charming hole in the wall barber shop. We walked in and were greeted immediately by the gentleman in the first chair who was extremely friendly. He said he was a short wait and offered us drinks which included water, coffee, apple juice and more including beers... YES BEERS!! We enjoyed a beer and waited for him to be sat and we were people watching and it was so amazing to see how

Friendly enough barber and back and sides cut well with trimmer but top of head all higgledy piggledy and different lengths. Didn't have a chance to go back and get sorted out unfortunately. Recommend they spend less time taking about how good they are and more time concentrating on giving an even haircut. Maybe brighten the lights a notch too so you can see what you're doing? No reason not to go back to my friends at The Barber of Seville to be honest.
