Now here's a surprise! These guys have earned a new customer without doubt.
After some terrible experiences just trying to get my hair cut at Supercuts Stratford and Surrey Quays a friend suggested this place due to finding it on Yelp... it only had one (albeit glowing five star) review on Yelp, but most importantly they were willing to take me at 8:20pm so I made my way down to Bermondsey... a quick three to five minute walk to the right out of the station and I arrived (five minutes early at that, miracles do happen!) and was greeted by two friendly people who didn't seem to mind at all that I was rocking up late in the evening.
So glad I gave it a go... I'll be honest, with the name Hair Candy and from the outside it's not somewhere I would have popped in for a quick gents cut had I just been waking by, but now it will be my regular. £18 including a nice scalp massage/wash, awesome and friendly service, and having tea or coffee offered... what's not to like?
My particular stylist for the visit, Jodie, is definitely up there with my favourites... just so pleasant and not in a way that can be annoying as it is with some places... I really enjoyed making conversation with her; there's only one other place where I have some particular that cuts my hair, I'm normally not that bothered who does it, but think I'll request Jodie going forward here. (Side note: she looked fabulous and had great hair which is sometimes mysteriously lacking at places that don't charge £100 a cut.)
Above said, the owner/manager/supervisor (not sure which one) was equally as pleasant... despite being in there until closing they were both very accommodating, asking if I needed a bit more off here or there, etc., rather than trying to subtly get me out of the door... I wouldn't have even blamed them to be honest, but it's nice to know that they put top great service at the top of the list.
I can't comment on how they handle a range of cuts, but if you're like me and would've skipped this place in favour of somewhere else for a gents cut, and are in the area, surprise yourself and give them a go... as cheap as other options, but with a class of service that easily puts it above the completion. read more
