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!

The second time not so much The barber I had rushed my hair to an unbelievable speed, I must have been in the chair for less than 5 minutes, I have quite a specific haircut which was considered by the hairdresser, but when finishing I wanted a bit more taken off however didn't feel I could ask as the robe was just whipped off me I ended up just leaving and now I am stuck with a ridiculous haircut that I hate!

But let's get down to what's important. The cut. The fade. The attention to detail. I can happily report all of the above are excellent. A common misconception of other so called barbers is that short hair is short to cut. Of course the reality is the opposite. If a haircut is less than 30mins then something is missing. My cut at Capello's was about 45 and was fantastic. It's a first come first served situation and there didn't appear to be any sinks for hair washes but they use the Turkish choaker method which lets minimal hair down the collar. Also I'd have to say there was very little residual hair anywhere when I left. Of course everyone is different and has their preferences but as someone that gets their hair cut every 3-4 weeks - all over the western world - I have to say this place is one of the best I've been to.

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!

Khass, the owner, prides himself on running a pretty tight ship, but that's not to say that they don't enjoy themselves here, quiet the opposite. There is a slight air of the gentleman's club about the place, and by this I mean that the standards of professionalism are apparently high, but that there's also a really convivial feel about the place. It feels as though they have been here forever, if you know what I mean...? But the reality is that Khass only set up shop about three years ago. As you will see from one of the pictures that I was kindly allowed to take, they use the old style cut throat razor to shave their clients with. Now that takes concentration! Prices are really reasonable, and the opening hours couldn't be more convenient. They have a number of stylists working at any given time. Highly recommended!

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.

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.

Then he left shortly after, and i found another I liked, who also left shortly after. Once the shop moved across the road, it has all seemed to down hill. I find the "put your name on the list and wait an hour in the shop" ridiculous. Ive popped in, put my name on the list, said i'll be back in 10 mins, (even though the estimated wait is 30mins-1hour) and the answer is no. When asked why, because "thats just how we do things". The last time i went there, I sat waiting for 1 hour, and 2 barbers both disappeared for lunch while i was sat there, leaving one guy slowly working, with 2 other equally frustrated customers who had been there longer than me. Poor customer service! No communication at all. On top of that, the last 2-3 times ive had the same grumpy, can't-be-bothered, too cool for school guy with no people-skills cut my hair, do a middle of the road job, and walked out £18 poorer for the experience. This place seems to be caught up in the new world of tattooed "cool" barbers, perhaps believing their own hype a little too much without actually providing quality in terms of customer service or work. Perhaps I've just been unlucky the last few times, but every time i leave i feel annoyed with the experience. I'll be looking for alternative places from now on.

Do NOT come here if you're a woman looking to get your hair done, all the barbers are male and they probably have no clue how to do women's hair. ~ Customer Service: Really good and why it gets 5 stars! They were very courteous and shook my partner's hand as he went in. The guys have a "grungy hipster" vibe to them, but they definitely know their hair. My partner is one of those stereotypical men that have no clue how they want it cut so all the direction he gave was - "shorter". I've been with him to salons before where they keep pressing him for more information and he would get stressed out because he genuinely doesn't have a clue, but the guys here were very understanding and probably have experienced a lot of guys who don't know what to say! There was also free WiFi for me as I was waiting! ~ Results: The results were great! My partner's hair looks fantastic and they were definitely thorough with their work. He's very happy with his cut and we ended up leaving a tip for the experience. £18 for a full dry cut isn't too bad at all given the quality. We've paid more at places like Supercuts for poorer results! --- If you're a man in Cardiff looking to get a haircut, Keep The Faith is without a doubt the way to go!
