    This a great visit to a classic place! Pall Mall Barbers is a must stop for any traveler or local. Making an appointment was easy. To be fair the greatest barbers and stylists in the world are trained at Sassoon in London and the apple doesn't fall far from the tree here at Pall Mall. You will find true experts that are masters of their craft. Amber was a true joy and took the extra time to help me plan out the next few cuts as I grow my hair out. Well done Amber and tip of the Cowboy hat from this Texan who wishes I could get a cut here every week.

    Waste of an effort! I decided to book my first haircut with them. Initially, i was trying to book an appointment but due to an error on the website I decided to call instead. I queried about skin fade and requested for a senior hairstylist.I was booked with Michael for 5:30 for 30 mins, which i thought wouldn’t be sufficient time but the person over the phone persisted the stylist works within time provided and is exceptionally well trained. So i decided to make an appointment with the recommendation. Once i got there i was greeted by Michael and as soon as i sat down and explained my request, i was informed that 30mins is no way sufficient to complete skin fade. Michael mentioned that the customer service over the phone have absolute no knowledge, which i was shocked to find out. You would assume the first line of customer service to be fully trained. Michael mentioned his colleague is free and he will take over. The next person took over without discussing anything. Once the person started giving me a haircut he goes on to mention he’s a newbie. Here goes everything down the drain while I requested and specifically booked for a senior hairstylist, i ended up with a junior.Did my haircut and charged me £43. Wasn’t happy with the way he blended the sides. Came home to find out that the left side is blended way too higher than the right! Utterly disappointed, waste time and money. What’s the point of having customer service over the phone who are completely not aware or trained at all?! Make your decision and choose wisely.

    Visiting London this weekend, and didn't get a chance to tidy up before travelling so I genuinely just picked somewhere central and available. Glad this place came up. As a guy who has embraced bald while it still (mostly) my own choice, I found a head shave for £30 to be a great price, especially in Central London where I would expect everything to be more expensive than back home. Welcoming staff, relaxed atmosphere, professional and courteous. I'm not a chatty customer and the guy (didn't catch his name unfortunately) picked up on it quickly and didn't force any of the pointless small talk that aome do. Done a great job, smooth as a bowling ball with no cuts or irritation. 100% recommended.

    Needed a cut while visiting london and decided to try this spot out due to the good reviews. Was not disappointed. Got my cut from Amber and she was a pleasure to talk to and knew what she was doing. Felt like my needs were heard and will def come back.

    Went to see Amber at Pall Mall yesterday, what a wonderful experience. She is very skilled and listened intently to my vintage haircut needs. Plus a tops person to boot. Great haircut and good conversation. What more could you want from a barbers?

    Savlo has been very detail oriented, friendly, and passionate with what he is doing. My brother loved his hair cut and its a true value for money. This is one of the best places I've heard of for men's hairstyle . Thank you, highly highly reccomend! Don't think twice really.

    Jesus was great, I travel often and sometimes have to get my haircut in sketchy places. I have to say that this place is not sketchy, it’s probably one of the best barber shops I have ever had the pleasure of using. The place is nice and comfy and has a lot of style just like all the workers there! Great place, will be coming more often!

    Never been so happy with a haircut! I was lucky enough to have Amber cut my hair this evening. Having longer hair it’s so hard finding someone to give me a cut that I like, but with Amber, I explained what I liked and she couldn’t have got it more spot on. It also helped that she was lovely to chat to! Very happy customer who won’t be changing where he gets his haircut for a long time now.

    I had the pleasure of receiving a shave from Marrii. She was an absolute delight and help me towards a wonderful comfortable shave that would not irritate my sensitive skin. If and when I am back in London I would definitely recommend the services this shop provides. I’ll also add the choice of music was great as well. Thank you again!

    Whenever I am in London working and need a haircut. My first port of call is Pall Mall barber's near Leicester Square. Today I was looked after by Scott who was consummate professional and gave me a really good haircut. Very friendly and easy to chat to. Would definitely recommend!!

    Amber did a fantastic job! Visiting from out of the country for the first time, I had some pet tough requests for my haircut and she delivered to the letter. Amber was extremely courteous, highly professional, and fun to converse with. I cannot recommend her enough - thank you Amber!

  • 5/5 Diogo M. 1 year ago on Google
    Best haircut I ever had. Marii is an amazing barberess and very friendly. I was extremely satisfied with the final result, the care and the professional attitude. However, upon resuming home, I felt like the beard, could have used more trim and shaping. The overall experience was of high quality, topped with a glass of whisky.

  • 5/5 Trojan 1. 1 year ago on Google
    First time using them, and downloaded the app, was great! It automatically checked me in, and automatically paid once I left which was really handy as I was in a rush and so convenient. The haircut itself was glorious, done with precision, asked me what I wanted and done it to perfection. Antonio was great and I would recommend him and the company to anyone.

  • 5/5 andrew s. 1 year ago on Google
    Not only did I go away with a great haircut but I had a great time with Amber. What she doesn’t know about barbering is not worth knowing - she even explained the way my hair grew out from my crown, revealing that I’d been making it part in a way it didn’t want to…we changed this and it instantly looked and felt better! We chatted away happily throughout. I will def be back.

  • 5/5 Patrick D. 7 months ago on Google
    Amber made me feel so comfortable getting my first UK haircut. She welcomed me with warm energy and fantastic conversation. The haircut turned out perfectly too. Thank you Amber for expertly executing my vision! I highly recommend the barbers at Pall Mall Trafalgar.

  • 5/5 Wilson M. 4 months ago on Google
    First and foremost , the quality of the haircut is second to none. These lovely people are top professionals. The traditional shop is clean and well maintained. Throw in the super relaxing atmosphere and you'll never go anywhere else again

    I first came here when I was living in London 2021 and haven’t stopped coming since then, even though I now live in Oxford!! All the staff are friendly and welcoming. Amber cuts my hair and she always gets it right. Recently I had a big change of hairstyle and she spent so much time making sure it was perfect and precisely what I wanted!! All whilst chatting away and making me laugh!! Traditionally getting my hair cut was something I’d do out of necessity, but now it is genuinely something I look forward to and enjoy. It’s really great value for money and you feel like you’re getting a great atmosphere as well as getting your hair cut by talented and experienced staff. I would (and do) whole heartedly recommend both Amber and the whole team to everyone I know. It’s also worth noting that Mari is always interested in what I’m up to even though she doesn’t cut my hair, and that really adds to what I’m sure you can tell is already a great customer experience.

    I loved this place. Mark was amazing. Washed my hair, being from the states usually this is an extra but this was standard. He cared every step of the process. Even gave me suggestions on How to style my hair and showed me their products. Which I ended up purchasing. Cannot say enough good things about this place

  • 5/5 Robert H. 4 months ago on Google
    I have been coming here for years. Originally it was because it was around the corner from my office, however I have now moved office to Holborn but still travel her to get my hair cut. The service is excellent and Marii, who has been cutting my hair for years now is just amazing. Highly recommend this place if you're looking for a hair cut in Central London!

    I accidentally booked in at the wrong branch as I was rushing and when I turned up there wasn’t much time left until the next appointments so I didn’t think I would be able to get my hair cut. Jesus was able to seat me quickly and cut my hair which overran into his next meeting by a few minutes, he didn’t rush and made sure I was happy with the outcome. Very pleased with the haircut and service, will go back again soon.

  • 5/5 Eðin H. 2 years ago on Google
    Russel was amazing, from welcoming me in, to making sure I didn't leave anything behind. My hair was rather long, and I needed it to look both smart and comfortable for a new job, and he ensured that my new style would not only satisfy my employers, but also myself. The conversation was great, he was extremely attentive to detail and did not get distracted at all. At the end, I loved my haircut, and Russel answered all of my questions regarding maintanance and styling. For someone who's always hated short hair, this means a lot! Great experience, and thus great price as well.

  • 5/5 Richard P. 1 year ago on Google
    Michael was very welcoming and is an excellent artist. I highly suggest making an appointment. Pall Mall Barbers are reputable. Make sure to leave all your worries at the door because you will be in good hands once you sit in the chair.

  • 5/5 Rory W. 1 year ago on Google
    I had a lovely time having my hair cut by Amber. Really loved being in the corner room, it felt so comfortable quiet and chilled. Amber was really lovely and advised me well along with great chat. I like the friendly and above all non-pretentious vibe there

  • 5/5 Alexander K. 1 year ago on Google
    I had my haircut with Amber, and she was one of the most lovely humans I've ever had the pleasure of meeting. Not only is she a great person to chat with, she gave me exactly what I wanted with my haircut and greatly exceeded my expectations in every way possible. She has a lovely and gentle touch, and with over 40 years of experience in the profession she a great sense of style for men's cuts. 10/10

  • 5/5 Reuben W. 1 year ago on Google
    I had the lovely Amber cut my hair for my upcoming professional headshots and she did an incredible job. I normally don’t like making small talk at the hairdressers but she made me feel so comfortable and made me chuckle a lot! Highly recommend booking with Amber.

  • 5/5 TheShadynorwegian 1 year ago on Google
    It was great, told the barber some vague directions, gave them some artistic freedom and left very happy with the result and the experience

  • 5/5 Leonardo G. 1 year ago on Google
    Antonio di a great work. We had a good consultation to determine what needed doing and the result met all expectations

  • 2/5 Davide M. 1 year ago on Google
    I wanted to try a “premium” barber and I was more then happy to pay a “premium” price. The result is not premium at all, haircut is not worth it £60. I strongly not recommend this, you can get much better for half price. Also the place is quite dirty.

  • 5/5 Hemant C. 1 year ago on Google
    Amber served me with a quality beard trim. Amazing service! She was professional, courteous, charismatic and cheerful. Best beard trim and shaped it very well, and I felt very refreshed thereafter.

  • 5/5 Tom i. 2 years ago on Google
    Very professional. great haircut. exactly what I was after

  • 5/5 Alec M. 2 years ago on Google
    Great barber shop. Always a pleasure to see Michael who gives an excellent haircut. Would recommend!

  • 5/5 Fraser M. 2 years ago on Google
    I've been going to Pall Mall Barbers for so long, I struggle to put a number on it! Seven years now I think? As you can imagine, to stick with them all that time is a sign that I am very happy with the service they provide. The haircuts are superb, the Trafalgar Square branch is gorgeous, the staff are wonderfully friendly and (pre-pandemic at least) there was a choice of rum or whisky on the house! In particular, I'd single out Marii, the barber I've been loyal to for roughly the last six years. It's always a joy to catch up with her :)

  • 5/5 Benjamin C. 2 years ago on Google
    Absolutely amazing service and a wonderful experience. I will definitely hit these guys up again. Thank you very much Alex for my very snazzy new style!

  • 5/5 Noor H. 2 years ago on Google
    They were incredibly professional and very friendly, my barber (Michael) was excellent with his scissors! I had a really nice experience, and left with the exact hair cut I wanted! Would recommend to a friend!

  • 5/5 Peter S. 2 years ago on Google
    One of the best and first plce I've been to after coming to UK. I have a long curly hair and beard as well. Hadn't trimmed it for past year and a half because I was scared of how would the barbers handle such long hair. But took the courage finally after a long research and finally did my hair cut. Michael is a professional and handled this long curly hair and beard really well. He was top notch. All the products used are absolutely professional too. Thank you ! Would definitely come back.
