I have never been able to just wake up and finger comb my hair to get a complete look: product product product. Well, no.

My husband & I had heard so much about how great the experience is at a Turkish Barber by a friend…read morefrom Turkey that I encouraged him to go check it out. It was fantastic! He said it was so relaxing and truly a great shave. My only issue really was they said it would be a 15 min wait and it was more like 45 min wait. I think they told us that so they wouldn't lose the business, but I'd rather been told the truth and we could have gone next door for a pint! I will say they did offer him a bottle of beer, but never offered me anything or even spoke to me. I left and went next door and got my own pint with a nice relaxing view in the pubs outdoor seating area.

I got the sense the gent cutting my hair kept dissuading me from my requests. For example, I asked to take a bit off the top, to which he replied, brother the top looks fine I wouldn't touch it. I asked for a higher blend on the sides and he said, "trust me, you don't want to go too high." At this point I was pissed and wanted this to just end. In the US, when you say you want it cut a certain way, they cut it that way. Homeboy over here has seemed to forget that it's my hair, not his, so, I really don't care how you want it cut! I paid and jet out there quicker than you can say Peace out! 37 pounds for 10 minute clean up, No Thank you. I don't recommend this place. There are plenty of barbershops in and around London and Shoreditch that won't stop cutting your hair until you are satisfied.

For me, Murdocks offers the best wet shave in London, with the Covent Garden outlet being my…read morefavourite within the chain. It offers the usual haircut/shaving options together with a shop which sells a range of 'male' focussed goods - i.e. more shaving items, colognes, hip flasks, books and other accessories. There are two barbers who work here - one downstairs and one upstairs. I prefer the upstairs because it is a little more private. The downstairs option is more lively but can be a bit distracting as people pop in/out of the shop which is also downstairs. Usually, I opt for the 'full service'. This is a wet shave followed by a haircut. The shave is relaxing and performed with practiced expertise and is the real highlight. All the staff I have met are super friendly which adds to the general good vibe! In short - recommended.

No exaggeration by far THE WORST haircut I've had in years!!!…read moreA perfect example of style over substance. The stylist said all the right things and proceeded to do the exact opposite of what we talked about. The slight trim on tip turned in to a total scalping taking my decent head of hair to an Action Man style crop with a weird longe fringe!

I'm a dude who used to complain about paying more than £15 for a haircut…read more Not anymore. This place does you right. I've been here a number of times, and every time I look pretty amazing. I used to just get haircuts, then I had a full Ted once. The full Ted is where it's at. A shave, haircut, unibrow thing, and towel massage. It's really awesome. It's now my thing. It should be your thing too. Sure, it's expensive, but god damn it does it feel great. Now I can never go back to a £15 haircut. I've been ruined!!

Me: Yeah, just a trim, is it too late in the evening? *Guys look at each other* Guy: We don't do women's haircuts. Me: I don't understand? I have a short haircut. Guy: We don't do it if it's a lady.

I don't even need to say what I want done, they just remember what I want from my haircut and I trust them entirely with a cut-throat razor. All their clients get their 5 star treatment - whether they are there for the first time or have been returning for years, whether they are hipsters with elaborate beards or more balding (like me), whether they are young or more mature. I'm happy that I found these barbers - thanks to you all.

My expectations for a great cut were not achieved. The barbers were all friendly enough and keen to…read moreprovide top service, however when they are talking and laughing between themselves in Turkish, it made me feel uncomfortable. I wanted a skin fade and to avoid the top of my head due to balding. The barber suggested a 'trim' on the top. He cut too much and now with the sides grown back, I look like a balding clown. My hair is fine and thinning fast, so new barbers tend to be cautious at first when cutting my hair...he went straight in. trimmed the top (good barbers start with sides then balance the top). I did not want the ear waxing or shoulder massage that was include in my £50 cut. But agreed to the latter. Im sure they are all good barbers, but for someone who only wants to basic skin fade without all the 'extras' this was a disappointment. I wont be returning.

I've been a fan of the Turkish shave for a while now and while I typically go to my trusted local barber in Dalston, I figured that I should go and treat myself to something special...and the Ottoman Lounge seemed to be the perfect fit for that! I made an appointment online and I was surprised that I was even able to choose the barber. I went for Ergun Ottoman (I think the name is a coincidence) and I seem to have made the right choice...read on! When I arrived at Ted's Grooming Room on a cold autumn Saturday morning, I was greeted by the hustle and bustle of a really busy barber shop. Every seat in the upstairs salon was taken and there was at least one person waiting in line for each of the chairs. But...my quest let me downstairs into the Ottoman Lounge. There I was welcomed by the hostess; she took my coat and offered me a Turkish coffee, which I gladly accepted. (I could've also taken a beer, but it seemed a bit early for that ;-) While I was waiting for my turn, I was able to watch the barbers do their business on my "predecessors". I was especially mesmerised by one barber who treated his client with the utmost grace: the scissor moved along elegantly, the shave was done in a very professional manner and while he was clipping away at the client's hair, a woman sat down next to them and he received a manicure. Turns out the barber was Ergun - my barber! I had only signed up for the shaving package (Shaving Grace), but in retrospect I really should've opted for the manicure as well; this would've been an additional charge of £12. (Which seems to be a reasonable price for London.) All in all, I'm very happy with my experience at the Ottoman Lounge - I definitely left the place with high spirits and a cheek smooth like a baby's butt! PS: If you're looking for a more simple haircut and shave, I suggest to simply use the upstairs barber shop.
