Having started to lose my hair around the age of 17, I never quite developed the same compulsion…read morethat some of my friends did of spending £50+ on a haircut every couple of months, instead gradually coming to resent spending much more than a fiver. The 5 star rating should be regarded in those terms, this is not a designer boutique that do 'geek pies' or weave a bird table to your noggin. Hussain (not Hussain's apparently) is an old skool gents hairdressers that will give you a "trim", to use the solitary technical term of old man hairstyles, for around... actually I don't know how much it is. £3.50? £4? A fiver gets change anyway, and I've never had to go somewhere afterwards to have it fixed. They have plush leather seating for about 10 dudes and they're always very friendly. You'll get the offer of a brew if there's any kind of wait. There's the standard mix of English red tops and slightly more worthy looking papers from the Indian sub-continent, they have a lot more words on the page anyway, but no motoring magazines. Occasionally there's an excitable chap who sits in the corner and shouts "lovely jubbly" at everything. Parking can be had on the street outside.

Waited for an hour whilst the one barber in the shop smoked cigarettes inside and then went outside…read morewith his mate to smoke weed whilst 3 customers were waiting. Then, clearly paranoid as he was high as a kite, he falsely accused a friend and I of filming him 'for a joke'. We got up and left. Terrible experience. Avoid at all costs. Worst barber in Leeds, does't even deserve one star.

Excellent. Gave a fantastic haircut to my 12 year old son and had some top quality chat with him…read moretoo.

Visited Modern Hairdressing for a cut and finish on Thursday…read more Really happy with my haircut which is the main thing, and the place itself is furnished/fitted out to a really high standard (they have TV's built into the walls next to the mirrors so you can watch TV while getting your haircut!) The only thing which lets this place down is the service. I didn't really feel looked after during my visit (no-one acknowledged me when I entered for example).

Several times I have come here on a Sunday for opening to beat the queues and several times they…read morehave opened late and left me standing in the rain. Today I got sick of waiting and went home. What a waste of time, very unprofessional. Doubt I'll go back.

I am a bit confused about who uses Cutting Corner barbers to get a trim, however there is always…read moresomeone in the hot seat so the business must be successful. Cutting Corner is a traditional barbers complete with red and white roller and traditional decor. Even all the cutting and styling equipment is old fashioned. Their price list is printed in an archaic font perfecting the feel of an authentic mens barbers. Headingley is packed with trendy male students sporting spikey hair and straightened retro mullets. I am sure these styles cannot be achieved here. I presumming Cutting Corners provides for the older clientele still living in the area. For under a tenner a blokie can head on in for a short back and sides or shave down to a number 1! The service is as traditional as the decor. If its a cheap and simple cut you are after, this is your place. However if you are looking for a new image or head turning mohecan I would suggest you look else where.

City Image cuts a somewhat secretive and sheepish figure, on a rather affluent street in the heart…read moreof the business district. Although it was established in 2002, the barbers retains a genuine sense of tradition. A kitsch red and white striped barbers pole complete with gold topping is proudly erected on its exterior, without a hint of irony. An older hair establishment is always exposed as such by their opening hours. Who exactly needs a hair cut at 8am? Why, a gentleman of leisure, of course. City Image do not commit any crimes of age discrimination, I hasten to add. With discounts for the over 65's, students with NUS cards and separate price brackets for two year olds, I consider it safe to say that the clientele at this barbers is a varied and inclusive mix. There is no requirement to book an appointment at City Image, and with a shampoo and cut costing £15.50, the value is unquestionably reasonable. I do envy the huge fiscal differences in hair maintenance betwixt the sexes. With the beautifully checked flooring and the monochrome pictures of young men flaunting coiffered styles in the window, it truly is the traditional gentleman's barber. As my friend would say, it reminds me of a simpler time.

Excellent barber…read more I'm an American here for several months and I'm very happy that I found this establishment. The barber himself is professional and knowledgeable regarding what to do with different hair types, and is very responsive to the customer's wishes and desires. The shop is a bit out of the way, but it's clean and tidy. If you are a man after a good haircut, then come here. The only downside that I would have to say is that it's maybe a couple of pounds more than other places, but it definitely makes up for that in sheer ability of the proprietor. Plus if you're a student or meet other criteria, you can get a discount. Cheers.
