An excellent haircut and overall premium experience. It's clean and comfortable. The staff is exceptionally polite and professional. I try to book a haircut here each time I visit London. read more

I have had my hair cut here once a month and also tried their ultimate grooming experience. Aldo, one of their barbers, made me feel welcome and left me feeling sharp and looking my best. Highly recommend for any gentleman looking for a quality service. read more

I was surprised I had not written a review for this place but it's the original men's grooming shop, and continues to maintain a royal commission. They'll give you a great haircut but they also have unique and useful grooming products for sale, and you'll almost feel like you're in a hotel, from when you book your appointment to when you leave. Classy, confidential, and courteous. read more

Having never treated myself to a cut throat shave, I thought I would treat myself the next time I was in London. Obviously there are many shops to choose from. However, having read the reviews I decided to give these fine folks a try. Although this is an expensive luxury, it was worth every penny. It was a very relaxing and enjoyable experience at the hands of an expert. If you're looking for a top-of-the-line shave, start here first! I will definitely return the next time I'm in London. read more

I had a vile experience. I have been a loyal customer of T&H for over ten years both in London and Singapore - there was something magical about an old style barbers. I arrived with my wife who accompanied me since this was a birthday treat. She had arranged one of the extended shave and haircut experiences. We were very quickly turned away although we had all the online documentation and were able to show it on an ipad - there was no doubt whatsoever we were the bona fide customers. But they wanted the paper copy of the appointment. We were made to feel like shoplifters or grifters - and the whole situation panned out in front of other customers. It was a huge embarrassment. Truefitt and Hill broke the magic - we will not be going back. We are appalled that a shop will treat you in this manner. If you are thinking about going to T&H think again - don't take the risk of being treated like a criminal. read more

Another fantastic men's grooming store not to be missed. Very friendly staff and knowledgeable about the product line they sell. A favorite shaving cream of mine is the "1805" brand and Grafton street. Also very convenient if you would like to test the aroma of these fine products! read more

Truefitt & Hill - Barbers Near Me - London, XGL

See all

I was in London last week and I was very happy to visit your shop, 71 Saint James's Street, City of Westminster. It was Monday the 5th of December. Thus I bought a gift to offer to a Friend in France: a Beard balm and a beard oil. The Lady who sold me the products put them directly in a pouch. When I returned to Toulouse in France I was really disappointed when the friend for whom I bought the gift opened the pouch and we discovered that the Lady-seller has given me two testers instead of the products (the photos are attached). One of the testers (the balm) was already used and not a new one. I am really angry and disappointed: I have paid for two "luxury grooming items for gentlemen" and instead I was given testers. This is not really respectful of customers! I am also surprised that sellers in a well-known label such as Truefitt and Hill can do this for a customer. read more

Why Get a Straight Razor Shave at Truefitt & Hill? This place occupies the position of one of the leading men's barber shops in the World, perhaps one of the oldest - and it is well deserved It's relaxing. The straight razor shave is the facial for manly men. The experience is definitely a treat. There's nothing like a hot towel on your face or the manly fragrance of shaving cream to sap the stress right out of your body. The few times I've gotten a straight razor shave, I've almost fallen asleep because it's so darn relaxing. Regarding a haircut... Unfortunately, many men today are missing out on the benefits of having a regular barber. As the barbershop tradition has faded, modern men just end up going to the closest unisex salon to get their hair cut. And each time they get they go, they end up with a different stylist and are forced to explain over and over again how they'd like it done. But "a little off the sides" means one thing to one stylist and another thing to another stylist. Stylists also have the tendency (in my experience) to try to correct what they see as mistakes that a previous barber/stylist made. Consequently, a man who goes to a unisex chain salon walks out with a completely different haircut at each visit. Not a good thing if you're trying to maintain a consistent image. Every man needs a reliable, skilled barber in his life. Having a regular barber will ensure that you get a consistent, sharp haircut with every visit. You can go in for a trim before a big interview without gambling on whether or not you'll come out looking like you were attacked by a weed whacker. I have now found a regular barber at Truefitt & Hill and do not regret the price as it is the best I have received in memory. I recommend Truefitt & Hill for men and for women to give as a gift to their man. read more

Truefitt & Hill is my go to source for shaving creams and the like. I've tried many of the major brands, but the consistency and scents of T&H is the best in my opinion. When I was working in London I went here for a haircut, and its definitely an experience. No electronics at all, the whole thing is done with a variety of scissors and manual clippers. Its kind of an old school place with portraits of Lords and people like that, most of the customers are probably anglophile tourists and dowdy English politicians and City types - my kind of crowd! read more

Maybe it's just London but for the price, haircut, and shave I do feel it was expensive 90 GBP. I do think the staff is polite and they did take me even though they only had an hour before closing. Another up side is the atmosphere, the barber shop feels authentic and makes you feel as if you've traveled back to the 1920's for a haircut. read more

Been coming for here for over a year, and still impressed with the level of service. I always ask for Julie. She is a first rate barber, with great attention to detail. Great value for money. read more

Unfortunately, I did not have a pleasant experience. The shave was mediocre, at best. The razor seemed to be blunt, so the barber was putting too much pressure. At the end, he never used a cold towel. Two hours later, I still had a burn. Oh, after checking myself in the mirror, I realized he had missed a couple of spots (patches of hair were visible) and the skin was obviously traumatized (multiple dried blood spots). Regarding the environment, it was nothing special; artificially decorated to look old without being old. On a positive note, the products he used seemed to be pretty good. In overall, the quality of the shave was rather poor, regardless of the price. I won't try them again. read more

Just had a great shave by a cockney gent named Dennis after a friend got me a gift voucher. He was cheerful fellow who took my jokes about Sweeney Todd without getting too offended. Great to get out of the cold, the atmosphere was warm and friendly and scent used for both the shave and the aftershave were both to my liking. Great Birthday Memory. read more

I visited T&H London on 11 August for a shave - something I have never done before and I've wanted to try for years. I ended up with a 1 inch cut from the blade on my cheek and a £45 bill (and I wasn't even that impressed with the shave). I must say, the person who served me was courteous and was apologetic about the cut but I think some kind of discount should have been offered (and, no, I did not ask for one) read more

This company was certified by Guinness as the oldest barber shoppe in the world, they have a Royal Charter and for good reason. Their products are top notch. I straight razor shave and they have incredible shaving creams. The lather is so rich and full it gives you an amazing shave. I ordered the Trafalgar and the Sandalwood and they are aromatic, gentle on your face and give a rich lather. They also have other shaving and bath products, including razors and brushes if your ready to ditch the lame, expensive disposables and step up to a straight razor. A word of caution on the creams, the scent can be a bit strong so if your skin is sensitive or if you work with people who have a problem with fragrances you may want to give yourself a little time before going around them. You can end up smelling like a Devil Dog who just got out of boot if you overdo it as well so there's your caution. Having said that , the Internet service for orders is timely and the prices are good, especially when you consider that one order can last over a year in my experience , as opposed to buying dozens of the poor quality spray can stuff you get in the grocery over the same period. You usually will spend less money in the long run so it's worth it all the way around. I also do something with these creams that high falootin' straight razor aficionados would probably cringe at. After you shave, try taking your badger hair brush and scrubbing your face with it and the cream that's left on the brush. I know, I know, terrible way to treat that brush, but it will give your face a superior cleaning. If you want a better shave than you've ever experienced imho try out Truefitt & Hill. read more
