Launched in 2010, UK Barbershops is the brainchild of proprietor Drew Wilkes. After 20 years behind the scissors working for established barbers in Union Street, Drew believed that the time was right to open his own enterprise in Maidstone. Drawing on personal interests and tastes, Drew, a long-time Maidstone resident, set his sights on creating a barber shop environment with cross-demographic appeal.

The clean, airy and friendly space inspired for a subculture characterized for a smart stylish appearance. After finishing training in 1990 from Fishers Hairdressing Group in Maidstone, being accredited with L'Oreal and Wella diplomas, Drew went on to practice his passion for barbering and has never looked back.

Very accommodating and professional. The care and attention to detail was brilliant. My haircut was neat, clean and stylish and I left feeling fresh and looking smart. Cash only though which is a little odd in the 21st century, still there's a Cashpoint about 2 minutes walk away.

Was recommended by a couple of friends who take their boys here. Friendly atmosphere, my boy felt comfortable and chatted away whilst having his hair cut. He came away smiling and happy with his hair - which is saying something as he is a fussy lad. Can't recommend highly enough.

Drew is a top barber and a top man. It's a friendly welcoming place, operates from early in the morning and your guaranteed a good cut. I've never been anywhere else in 3 years living in Maidstone

Went there yesterday to book an appointment for 1:10pm today. The barber said all good. Went there today at 1:10pm and he was sitting someone down and told me he had nothing until 2pm. As I could only get my hair cut today at lunch time this was an avoidable inconvenience if he had just said no. Didn't seem to bothered about it either.
End up going to Upgradz and I was thrilled. Only had to wait 10 minutes and the lads in there are very friendly and know exactly what you want.
