I have been meaning to review "Royton Barbers" for a while now, meaning this experience is probably…read morefrom early November, but still I feel it is still worthy of a review being written. Royton Barbers is a barber shop in (you've guessed it!) Royton, in the Post Office building right next to the post office, and near enough opposite Royton Market and the Co-Operative, parking for here seems quite easy with parking available at the Co-operative and a nearby Oldham Council car park, which normally does serve Royton Market. When entering the barbers, it is quite funny as it is more like entering a house, and then you enter one room. In my opinion it is too small and they is too much going on, women's haircuts, men's haircuts, kids, and they is no separate areas, which means it can be quite noisy and not a nice place to have a more relaxing haircut. They seem to maximize space too much with so many chairs too close to each other, it seems one person could be going in for a dry cut, and just meters away, a woman could be having her hair dyed. My barber didn't seem really friendly, and seemed pretty average. She seemed to be very heavy handed and did catch me on numerous occasions on my ear and the back of my head with the razors, which I felt was pretty careless and shown that she wasn't focused on doing the job very well. The end result of my haircut, was nothing spectacular either and was definitely not among the best haircuts I've had, being quite disappointing to say the least. Considering the factors of the building, the set-out and incidents with the barber, I feel this barbers really needs to work on many things, stated in my review, and for now I can only give one star, which is quite disappointing as this barbers does stand out as a nice, cool barbers, but that it is not.

So, a lot has changed since November 2005 (when the previous review took place, I believe)!…read more4 Barbers work at peak times meaning the waiting isn't long. From a simple cut to a fade including blade work, beard styling and traditional shaves, they really do it all. There's even the option to book an appointment during late opening times on Mondays. I think the previous reviewer's barber must have moved on as the standard here is very high. Having a full traditional shave with hot towels and face treatments is a really relaxing experience, nearly to the point of nodding off in the chair! And walking away with a look I'd have to pay triple for in Manchester city centre, I am extremely satisfied!

On my visit i received a "Traditional Wet Shave" which was so relaxing to the point of nearly falling asleep. Would really recommend and as there is nothing like this (what i know of) in the Oldham area its a must for the Gentleman who likes to look after himself.

I came here as a reccomendation for Yelp and as my long search for a barbershop continued, I…read moredecided to come here after being impressed with their website and it looking pretty cool. They is parking close by to the store but I think it is double yellow lines so unless you have a disabled badge they will be trouble. The store amazes you when you come in, with a TV, plane seats and a spaceman, they often quote Neil Armstrong with a male grooming twist. I booked an appointment and had a short wait when I arrived due to the person I booked with, just going off to the shop for a prolonged period hence I had to go to another barber. They offer you biscuits as well as hot beverages, vimto, beer and water, being coeliac I just stuck with water. My drink took quite a long while to come, having been offered it as soon as I arrived, only getting it a good time later. My barber I feel talked too much about topics that were quite irritating, he often repeated himself and treated me like I was an uneducated infant for quite a while. I spoke to him about me liking Frank Sinatra, and another barber joined in and mentioned of his love for the singer and put a few of his songs on. I feel they are trying too hard here and can seem abit irritating and struggle on service, I feel if they narrow down abit and still put effort in it would be much better, they just try to hard and can't put 110 percent into everything. My haircut took nearly an hour and was very long and after a while it got really frustrating as they were just messing around, trying to make it an experience. For £10, I espect a good haircut, I don't care if it takes 20 seconds as long as I get a fantastic haircut, I admit I had a very good haircut but this experience was draining lasting so long, and costing £10, I feel a quicker haircut would please customers more and make more money for the business. Overall, they are trying to hard and lots of minor things really make a business which really does stand out, seem poor, the only good thing about the place was the original look and my haircut, which I feel deserves for it to be 2 stars but for everything else, especially it being so drawn out and costing a city centre price for somewhere a good mile away from the city centre of CHADDERTON and a few miles from the city centre of Oldham is really not worth it. Normally, I have my haircut every 6 weeks or so however I need a haircut again, just under a month after coming here which will add to my big cost of haircuts this month after paying £10 for a long, drawn out experience here, so I am quite disappointed with Niall spending so much time on my hair and simply, not doing my hair-cut to the best of his ability. I won't be returning until the pricing is sorted out, they focus more on the minor things rather than trying so hard and can do the haircut quicker with better results. My search for a great barber shop continues....

I'm pleased to be giving the Cornershop Barber Shop, its' first review in 2016 and only second in…read morethe past 12 months, and I'm pleased to announce, it is still quite a nice place to go for a haircut. As regular readers of my reviews will know, I'm with Jonny Q and Michael B on this one, I hate having my haircut done and hate the awkwardness of chit-chat with my barber, and just want to get in and out of a place, with minimal effort, this place is right by Stevenson Square in the Northern Quarter, opposite the Old Koffeepot on the corner of Hilton Street. It is quite a nice place, and it charges £10 for a haircut which isn't bad considering I'm used to paying £15 at Supercuts and Kim-Creative.Com in the Arndale. The barber was nice enough, he wasn't as friendly as I've seen before at the other places listed above, but he did do a quick haircut, upon request at 6 minutes. Overall, the haircut was okay until he used the scissors, it felt like he went on for hours, being really heavy handed, cutting big chunks of hair with the scissors, and then banging the comb on my head near enough every-time, which shown hints of aggression and perhaps it being too rushed, this probably felt like the longest part of my haircut, even though looking back it was probably nothing more than 1/3 of the time taken, but if you would of told me that part of the haircut, took double what the whole haircut taken, I would have believe you. I got a decent haircut as well, which was much better than other cuts I have had before, but perhaps still not as good as Supercuts in the Manchester Arndale. It is also open on a Sunday between 12 and 6pm which is handy, and when I visited, it didn't seem really busy and I got seated and my haircut straight away. I noticed they did have a few newspapers on the table for people to look at while waiting. My search for a barbershop has been a long one, I've devoted a long list to find one on Yelp, I hope now my search is over. I hope this place doesn't suffer with "Second-time barber blues", I continue to get a lot so for now, I feel it only deserves a 3. UPDATE: I now feel Cornershop deserves a single one star rating mainly down to a huge decline in service and the overall finished haircut of late, the fact they don't do appointments and often leave you waiting with the staff not seeming overly friendly makes the situation worse also.

Anyone who regularly reads my reviews will know my constant battle to find a good haircut with…read moreminimal effort. Not only do I struggle with "barber talk" but the fact that it usually takes a good hour to get my pretty short hair cut makes me want to spend that time doing something much more fun. That usually results in me carrying what can only be described as a birds nest around on my head for a much more desired time period than is acceptable! But for no more - yesterday at the Barbers on Stevenson square opposite Koffee pot, I was in and out within 20 minutes, loved my new haircut and it only cost me £10. All the guys working there were pretty friendly and up for a chat about the local bar scene and that suits me just fine. If you're after a quick cut, walk in service then this place is just for you.
