The original Huckle The Barber shop in London, located in the vibrant, creative Old Street end of Shoreditch, this shop has bags of character and atmosphere; it's a brilliant place to watch London go by! Check out the team below and get yourself booked in with one of our talented barbers in Old Street, London.
Manager at our Old Street branch, Chris started cutting hair in the mid-2000s. Beginning his career in a unisex salon, he quickly became interested in men's styling and has worked at Huckle the Barber since 2014. Originally from Kent, Chris now lives in north London which means he gets to be close to his beloved Arsenal.
Located on the effortlessly cool, independent led Lambs Conduit Street in Holborn, London, lies the newest Huckle The Barber London location. A 10 minute walk from Kings Cross St Pancras, the shop features two spacious, fully air conditioned floors and comes with the great service our barbers in London have become known for.
Before moving into hairdressing, Alex was a carpenter. Although he enjoyed the craftsmanship, he missed the human contact. He then saw that barbering could offer an outlet for his creativity within a social environment. Before joining Huckle the Barber, Alex worked at several salons in London's West End, finally working as Master Barber at Alfred Dunhill in Mayfair.

Positive: Cleanliness, Professionalism, Quality
You can’t help coming out of Huckle with a massive smile on your face and not just because Gav has put on a Mexican mariachi cover of Prince’s ‘I would die 4 U’. Great service, quality hair and beard cut and a nice lager thrown in for good measure.
Services: Buzz cut, Beard conditioner

I have curly hair, the type that I have no idea what to do with, so I normally cut it short and get on with it. My wife has been telling me for ages that I should embrace my curls, so I tried post Covid, the results were horrific, I’ve had birds nests to mullets, this was the last chance and I’m so glad I went here. Alex talked me through what I wanted and what could be achieved. Never before have I left a barbers without looking in the shop window reflection and not changed it, I’m so impressed. I had a beard trim to and that is also great, my wife excited about going to somewhere quality

Been coming to see Gavin and the crew for 5 years now. Absolutely great place to get a trim and Gavin has only ever been on top form. Welcoming, fun and it's always something to see what his own hair is doing with each visit.
I barely even need to go anymore due to the ravages of time but where else can I be welcomed like family, handed a beer and regaled with tales from a comfy chair.

The relationship between you and your barber is a special one. It probably shouldn't but there is a positive correlation for many between our hair and our self confidence.
After my usual barber left his shop to be closer to home, I wanted something closer to home. I endured 2 previous barber experiences, one which was horrendously bad, and the second which was decent but the haircut grew out very quickly, I thought I'll bite the bullet and come here, even though it is quite expensive.
I had my haircut with Alex and it was a pleasure.. He is friendly and was attentive and made a suitable suggestion

Jade was so lovely. She took the time to understand what I was hoping to achieve. I have curly hair so struggle to find someone who knows how to cut and care for curls. Jade had great knowledge - discussing the best product types to use and offering suggestions on what best suits my hair type. Thanks Jade, I’m looking forward to seeing you again in a months time!

Thanks for a great time Tim. Lovely gentlemen had a great experience. He really looked after me and did a great job on the beard.
Provided me with advice and also ensured to do a good job.
The hot towel over the beard was ideal!!
Especially for someone that's bold and had never walked into a barbers in 8 years I couldn't have asked for anything more. Great service. Highly recommended. Will definitely be going there again.

I’ve lived in London for nine years and this is literally the most amazing place! My barber was Gavin and he is such a star. Such a lovely guy and absolutely enjoyed it. But it’s not just him. Xenia (not sure if that’s her name) but she was the manager and made me feel so special! Marshall who was the Thai guy was also super nice! I would highly recommend the place. Everyone was so nice not to mention the cut was ace! Def go here

Decent haircut but on the other hand nothing to write home about. Definitely nothing so special what would justify £45 price tag for simple haircut. With all honesty apart of fancy decor it was no different to all the other places which offer the same service at £12-15. If you are one of those people who needs to pay triple the price for something to prove yourself that you are successful and wealthy - sure go for it otherwise shop elsewhere.

1 review 5.0 star rating 22/12/2017 I don't often bother posting reviews but Chris Mackins is basically the best barber in town. I've been living in London 20+ years and, over that time, have had my hair cut by loads of people in loads of establishments - West End, Shoreditch, Brixton etc - and Mackins is the best I've seen. I've been using him for… years now and it's just easy. I turn up, I get a friendly welcome and a nice drink, and I never have to wait long, he's always punctual (I've never waited more than three minutes before sitting down. He's easy to talk to but he doesn't force

I had a great experience getting my hair cut by Marshal. He did an amazing job and gave me a better understanding of what styles would fit my hairstyle best. We had a great conversation and he gave me awesome tips of different places to check out in the neighborhood. I will definitely be coming back!
