In my opinion this is the best gents barbers in Norwich. The staff are always welcome and as they…read moreall rent their own seats rather than get paid a wage, you know that they are going to try their very best to give you the right cut so you return, price for a wet cut is about the average ten pounds. The staff are always friendly and very chatty, and the owner always goes out of his way to welcome you. Just recently they have converted the upstairs for appointments only, this means that waiting if you have not booked is cut down to a minimum. Recommended, definatley not a hair raising experience!!

OK, so I haven't been in every barbers in Norwich, but I think I'm pretty safe in saying this is…read moreone of the best. We all know it's incredibly hard to find a decent hairdressers/barbers wherever you live, and once you have you hang on to it for dear life. Croppers, for me, is that barbers. The only gents' hairdressers I've been into that consistently cuts my hair excellently and so competently. The staff are a great bunch of guys too. If I ever move away from Norwich (which I probably will do soon), Croppers is one of its establishments I'll miss a great deal.

Being from out of town I had no knowledge of barber shops in Norwich and chose this place at random…read morebecause I hadn't scheduled an appointment and there looked to be room. The barbers were friendly and approachable and I got a seat immediately. The guy who cut my hair, a local named Jamie, gave the people of Norwich a grand reputation. He spoke genuinely and we conversed amiably about politics, housing prices, American stereotypes, cultural differences, nearby bars, our respective hometowns, etc. The cut cost me only 10 pounds, less than I had expected. If I were staying in the UK longer than a month I would definitely return. I highly recommend Gatsbys if you're looking for a neat cut for a good price and enjoy having a sincere human connection with your barber.

You might take one look and say "it's out of the 1970s" and you would be right. So what? The…read morebarbers have real long-earned skill, not gimmicks. You need an appointment, very seldom is this a walk-in service.

This is an old-school barber shop, but with most of the negative connotations and few of the…read morepositives. Don't be thinking of red leather chairs and chrome design touches, this place looks like its straight out of a 1970s brown and beige office furniture catalogue. While the staff are friendly and prices reasonable, the experience is made to feel more like an inevitable chore than a stylistic endeavour. While my barber did seem to take notice of what I requested, he kept me waiting for 15 minutes before getting started, and was painfully slow when I did make it into the chair - pausing multiple times to tell me another thrilling anecdote. The quality of the work was patchy - quite literally. Lets be fair, it wasn't terrible but I could have probably done just as good with the kitchen scossors in the 45 minutes it took! It's not a good sign that the first thing I did when I left was set an iPhone reminder to book in at my regular barbers in two weeks time. As the name suggests, this place is a no nonsense joint for no nonsense men. That might be just fine for the OAP and school boy who were being seen to when I arrived, but if, like me, you like your hair to be something more than mereley an extravogant head-warmer, I'd give this one a wide berth.
