Franco's is a bit of an institution on the Gloucester Road, is very popular and generally busy…read more It's a small barbers just next to the Hob Goblin pub and it's been there for years. They even shut off the road a couple of years ago for a mini festival to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the shop! It was fun. There's always a bit of a buzz about the place, especially on Saturday mornings. Franco and the lads that work there are a laugh and there's generally a conversation going on through the barbers around the latest albums, movies and prem results. On the radio it's either 6 music or a live big premiership match. It's a good crack. The hair cuts are generally pretty good, I have been more pleased on certain visits than others though. There's no appointments required and you just turn up and wait. While it's always a laugh in their it can take quite some time to get a chop at its busiest. I've waited over 2 hours on a Saturday morning before which can be a bit much with a hang over! If you're looking for a quieter time try turning up just after opening on a week day. Price wise it's not to bad at £17, not the cheapest but not the most expensive either. It's worth noting that you can get a loyalty card where you get a free cut after 8 visits. When ever I've been their it's clear that a lot of the customers have been back time after time, so they must be doing something right! its a great little barbers with good conversation and can be a bit of a laugh. Defo worth a go.

Franco is a chilled out dude that runs a barber shop just off Gloucester Road. When I went today…read morethere was Madness's new album playing over the speakers (I wasn't even aware they were still around). The first baber shop where I've heard that, and something I reckon a few others should adopt. Franco's got two young assistants who banter about are nice and friendly. It's relaxed in here and they'll have a quick chat as the push you through as they try and bring down the queue of guys that's always there. Five to ten quid seems to be the price range, not to bad really. My haircut was absolutely fine, but then I only got a number two and that's pretty difficult mess up. Don't worry too much about the opening times as they seem to just stay open until they've run out of customers. Also good because their choice of newspapers (Guardian and The Mirror) is much better than the usual garbage you get at barber shops, but I suppose this view does depend on your politics rather what you think of their haircuts.

Aldo is no spring chicken, but that just means he's experienced and his hands don't shake nearly as much as you'd think (I'm kidding they're steady as a rock). He will give you the best cut-throat shave in Bristol and the conversation isn't too bad either, so pop in for your Monday morning shave and get your short back and sides; he will always fit you in. He is in fact a legend of those parts. You think he'll be more like Luca the barber from The Armando Iannucci Shows, and he might ask you something like, 'why they do all those experiments on animals...very cruel yes?....maybe they should use puppets from children's shows, like clangers....let's face it, the clangers, they'd remove one of our testicles if they had to...etc.' But don't worry he won't.

Here we have a classic example of a traditional gentleman's barber. Everything that one could and…read moreshould expect of a barber is here. A waiting room, for starters, with a fine selection of men's magazines and comfortable seats. A few good chairs line the walls with big clean mirrors to catch up on a spot of vanity. The brushes and scissors are kept in pots of steriliser that smell of Top Gear and London Pride. Then the memories flow back. The red and white spiral column out front, or the conversation with the gentleman - so much more than the trivia spilled in most modern hairdressers. And the price? The price is just right - about a tenner. What more could you want?

In the same token that it's unwise to trust a skinny butcher the two chaps here that get behind the scissors are both well trimmed, well dressed and dappa young men. A mere eight pound will get you a standard (but mighty) student trim. Want a little more? Pay a little more. They also do a very good wet towel shave here for that extra close cut. There's a good stack of men's magazines and newspapers, and tinted windows so you don't hot up whilst you wait. A smart and tidy place.

I've found myself playing a game of Pro Evo or two while I wait. The chat that is customary of a hairdresser is there if you want it, but not overtly forced and not as mundane as some of the gossipy London types. Above all, it only costs eight quid. You're getting a great cut for that money, and I'm always sure to round it up to a tenner as they're so friendly.

This is one of the more traditional barber shops in the area, running an appointment only scheme in this one man show. The benefits of this are no waiting around and a friendlier, more personal cut. There's a good choice of men's magazines if you have to wait at all although this is pretty rare. Most trims cost between five and ten pounds with exceptions only for bleaching and high lights. This is also a really good place to pick up some high quality hair products that you may have difficulty finding on the high street such as Dax Wax and Fudge.

He has great attention to detail, urgency, while not feeling rushed. As a hairdresser myself I can say this is the quality of service and the kind of result that you hope for when you walk into a salon. He gave a great massage which is not always part of the service but it's definately a nice luxury when someone takes the time. On top of that the service was only £15 my only criticism is that there wasn't an option to tip on the eftpos machine. The salon it's self is nice, intimate and welcoming, the staff were all friendly and there was a very cute puppy milling about. Would 100% reccomend the salon and Alex!

Shambarber will give you a top notch trim or full re-style with great banter and awesome music; all in their tiny but ultra trendy barber shop. I've been getting my hair cut here for a while now, as have around 4 or 5 of my mates, and I've never heard anything but massive praise. It's one of those barbers where you don't sit reading a Nuts magazine while you wait for a 5 minutes trim-and-leave! You sit listening to good music and they get you involved in whatever they're chatting about. They take their time to ask what you want and continue to ask if everything is alright as they cut. The graffiti style decor fits perfectly with its Stokes Croft location and you'll feel like you know the guys by the time you leave. Born out of the infamous Shambala festival, Shambarber brings a festival vibe to Stokes Croft in the way of mens and women's hair styling. The guys are involved in a number of club nights in and around bristol as well as Love Saves the Day festival and obviously, Shambala. They also hold invite only parties in the shop called 'The Barber Shop' that are absolutely amazing. Global DJ's playing to a crowd of 60. Festivals and music is their fun side - haircuts and beard trimming is their serious side; and they're blooming good at both!
