Haircut

Same cut every three weeks for six years. Whoever is free does it exactly the same, which is the point. £18, no nonsense, and the queue board is never lying.

Skin fade

Best fades in the valleys and I have tried most of them. Kai holds the mirror up from the back before you are allowed to leave. Student price with my card.

Wedding party

Had the shop to ourselves at 8 on the wedding morning, five of us, hot towel shaves and cuts, bacon rolls from next door. Bethan's shave is a religious experience.

Owain and the ladsChurch Village
Kids

Took my four-year-old for his first proper cut. Rhodri showed him the clippers, let him hold them, stopped when he wobbled and tried again. He got a certificate and I got a lock of hair. Both of us cried a bit.

Haircut

Good honest barbers and the OAP price is a nice touch. Four stars because Saturday mid-morning is a proper wait, forty minutes last time. Go midweek if you can.

Dai M.Rhydyfelin
Beard

Beard reshaped after years of trimming it straight across myself. Bethan dropped the neckline and the difference in the mirror was honestly embarrassing. £12.

About the four stars

Saturday mid-morning is a wait. We cannot fix that; we can tell you.

Dai is right: ten to two on a Saturday the board says thirty or forty minutes and it means it. Three chairs is what the shop holds. What we can do is tell the truth on the board, let you go for a coffee without losing your place, and point you at a Tuesday morning when you will sit straight down. The review stays because it is true.
