So, I was out on Monday in Portobello doing research for Yelp, and decided that I needed a haircut. This was premeditated of course, I didn't just spontaneously decide to have one. I picked Gerry's Barbers in Portobello as I was in the area anyway, and was pleased with the choice. When I look for a barbers, I look for a low price and a good cut from a friendly barber. All of these conditions were met at Gerry's. I was only charged £5.50 for a clipper cut, which is an absolute steal, compared to some other barbers I've used. The hair cut was exactly as I wanted, and couldn't complain with Gerry's skill at cutting hair. It wasn't at all busy when I went in - in fact, I was the only customer and so got my haircut done very quickly.
Gerry's was a great find - sometimes barbers can be a bit hit and miss, but this one was satisfying. The man himself provided some good chat during the course of the haircut - not too much and not too little. I don't want to end up telling my life story to a barber, and so I tend not to engage in too much conversation, and let them get on with their job!
With cheap prices and good quality cut, I would definitely use this place again if I was over in that side of town. read more
