City Barbers is just one of many no-nonsense barbers vying for business on the City Road. Thankfully, it's been around long enough, and is supported by a strong local, devoutly loyal, customer base, and so it has been able to weather both the recession, and the increase in competition in recent years. Prices are keenly competitive, and, with many years of experience, the standards are high.

Do you like short hair and having a close cut then city barbers does the job. What surprising about…read morethe shop window is the photos representing the type of cut you could expect are not faded like most of the other barbershops along the street. There are plenty of customers that keep coming back so they must be doing something right. The student population also benefits from a rock bottom discount of £6 a cut. My preference is no longer to have such a short cut but these guys do a good job, and if your preference is having a bloke cut your hair then it's for you.

When I first moved to Cardiff I was a struggling man trying to find the perfect hairdressers that would suit my needs. I'm not a fussy person, all I want is my hair to be chopped off and pay a reasonable price for it. I found La Zarou Brothers Metro located in High Street Arcade. I was pleasantly pleased with this little find. There is no need to book an appointment as you can just walk in and get served then and there. The level of surface surprised me too; they offered me a glass of water or a cup of tea when I walked in which is something I have never encountered with a salon. They offer all types of styles and cuts and the staff will do anything you request with your hair. I think it's the cheapest hairdressers in town. I paid £13 but left as a happy customer La Zarou Brothers Metro is an excellent little salon with great service. It is now my regular salon and I recommend you make it yours too!

When it comes to hairdressers I have MAJOR trust issues as once upon a time I was scalped. Okay so…read moreI didn't leave completely bald but still, I vowed I would never let a hairdresser near my hair with scissors EVER-AGAIN. Since, like some sort of modern-day goldilocks I have tried several different salons based in Cardiff. Yet none quite come close to La Zarou Bros. The same salon my Mum has been visiting for over 20 years - it's where you'll find me EVERY Thursday after work. They have a few salons in the city centre yet my favourite is in Churchill Way. It's somewhat like those American style barber shops - but the female version. The staff aren't just friends they're family. They know you by name and remember conversations they've had with you from months ago. No typical 'off on holiday' or 'we're having nice weather' talks will take place here. What's more despite having long hair I'm not having to worry that my card will decline at the point of payment. My blow-wave (wash, blow-dry into loose curls) costs less than £20 and it's a given that I leave every week feeling as though I should whip my hair back and forth - or at least whisper "because I'm worth it". Note: All the staff here are super talented and most have 'done' my hair at least once yet my all time favourite person here is Alex - not only do I trust him with my daily drama and gossip but I also let him near me with scissors!

Lazarou was recommended to me by a friend as being both good and cheap. When I went there I found that I wasn't awkward. This is worthy of note because I am ALWAYS awkward in hairdressers. Spending that much time talking to someone that I don't know about things that I'm pretty sure they don't care about?... But I found my hairdresser (who also washed my hair) to be very friendly. Whilst he was actually cutting my hair, he asked me what I was doing that weekend. Replying that I was going to the cinema, but didn't knwo what I was going to see, the hairdresser next to me joined in the conversation. To my great enjoyment, the entire hairdressing salon was then involved in the same conversation about what I should go to see.

Judging by the 'old school' look of the place, that bares a striking resemblance to another barbers, (albeit fictional), of a similar name... well... I'm sure you know what I mean...! Stamy Todds is a traditional barbers shop in every sense of the word. It's got those old style chairs that I wish women's salons had... they're the type that recline and also allow the barber to hoist them aloft, by pumping away at a foot peddle... I think they must be hydraulic...? Anyway, they're ace! I've sat in quite a few of them when I used to go to the barbers in India. Yep, you heard me right... I used to go to the barbers! But there's method in my madness... All the women in India have long hair and so you are always incredibly hard pressed to find a hairdressers as they just don't need them! So it was a case of a barbers or nowt! Everything about Stamy Todds hearkens back to a bygone era... and that includes the pricing. You'll have change from a tenner no matter what you go in here for... and you'll come out smelling of pomade! Oh joy!

When I first attended my hair was a bit of a mess, the staff advised me about the style I had chosen and set about creating it. I attended the second time for a tidy up - my hair has greatly improved and I have had many comments from friends about my new hairstyle. The salon will advise about the best products for coloured hair. I cannot recommend them highly enough - I live quite a distance away from the salon - the outside and interior caught my eye and I thought I should give them a go. I will return again and again even though there are other salons closer to me - I have tried them all in the past. 'Above the Fringe' is the best. Give them a try - you will be happy that you dfid.

I needed a haircut. After a few minutes wait, I got my haircut. It was, by far, one of the best haircuts I have ever received! The gentleman who attended to me was polite and professional. The way he cut my hair was extremely thorough. He added a few extra touches without extra charge. As we are currently going through the Coronavirus pandemic around the world, let us also remember small businesses that have had to shut down and lose all their income. Let us support them when things open again, especially excellent small independently-owned local businesses like Emir's Salon. What a wonderful discovery it was!

I'm quite particular about my hair. You might not know to look at me, but if I don't have it cut…read moreright, then it just looks even worse. Fine, very straight hair is always tricky to deal with a lot of hairdressers just try and make it bigger. Doesn't work. With fine hair, if the fringe goes a bit wrong then there is no going back, thinning or tinkering. It needs to be razor straight. So. I couldn't see anymore. I needed a trim. I rang some of the bigger names and some of them refused to trim it, even if I paid, if I hadn't had my hair cut there. Eventually, I gave up, wandered across the road and walked into the first hairdressers I could find. Hair Lounge was a pleasant surprise. It doesn't look much from outside, but inside it is plush and the staff are friendly. I tentatively asked if someone could do my fringe, even though I didn't have my hair cut there, and they were more than happy. I only waited a few minutes and a lovely chap came and got me. He cut my fringe, to my specifications (I know, a hairdresser that listens!) and did it all with a smile. I asked who to pay, and he tried to say there was no charge - so I left a tip. Don't know what it would be like for a full do, but if you're fringe has gone awry...
