Located a 5 minute walk from The new Market and Town Centre, Ashton-under-Lyne train station and the Bus Station. Across the road from the Town Hall offices and Wilkinsons. There is a Pay and Display carpark at the rear. Usually staffed with 2 or 3 barbers, they are quick and competent and do a great job. They are very friendly and make you feel welcome. Good with regulars knowing what sort of style you have visit by visit. Very Chatty and Friendly staff, and there is a toilet on request. Great Value for Money at £6 a cut.

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!
