How To Choose A Barber

Oct 28

Here at Kensington Barbers we like to think we’re the best barbershop in Kensington. Since Kensington is one of the most stylish, chic and up-market districts in London, then that makes us one of the top men’s barbers anywhere. If you pay us a visit you’ll see for yourself just how fantastic the service we offer is, and the effort we put into ensuring that every time we provide a men’s haircut in Kensington we create yet another satisfied customer.

We’re so confident of the quality we offer, in fact, that we’re willing to offer a few tips to any man out there who’s in the process of finding a new hair salon for men. Of course, we’d simply say ‘pay a visit to Kensington Barbers’. Just in case you wanted a few more details, however, here’s our considered advice on what to look for when giving someone the responsibility of dealing with your precious head of hair:

Ask Your Mates

Word of mouth is still one of the most powerful marketing tools there is, and choosing a barbers is no exception. People will be only too glad to tell you about any positive experiences they’ve had and probably even keener to detail any disasters. If you ask a mate whose hairstyle you’ve always admired then you’ll be even more likely to end up sat in the chair of a barber whose skills meet your requirements.

Customer Service

It’s not all about the cut (important though, that is). Does your barber greet you like a valued customer, shake your hand and take the time to find out exactly what it is you’re looking for? More to the point, are they willing to challenge you if they feel that the cut you’re asking for won’t be suited to your hair, head shape or face shape? The best barbers will go out of their way to make sure you get the cut you really need, and they won’t think twice about taking the time to try and persuade you.

Ambience

Take a good look at the barbershop you’re considering. Is it clean, tidy, well organised and professional looking? If the answer to all of these questions is ‘yes’, then the service you receive is likely to be equally professional and well delivered. The ideal barbers should also offer a friendly and welcoming environment, making your trip a relaxing experience as well as a stylish necessity.

Chat

Does your barber chat to you as he’s cutting your hair? We’re not thinking about small talk, or wondering whether you’ve been on holiday yet, either. Your barber should make sure you’re happy with the work he’s doing as the hair cut progresses, rather than waiting for the end of the process to hold up a mirror and make sure he hasn’t cut off more than you wanted. After all, if you say ‘yes, it’s too short’, there’s not very much even the best barber in the world will be able to do about it.

If you bear all of that in mind, then the chances are that you’ll find the ideal barber. Of course, there is an even easier way to do just that, and that’s by coming along for a trim at Kensington Barbers. We know exactly what our customers are looking for and we provide it each and every time. Put simply, we’ll give you the best men’s haircut in Kensington.
