A handsome little salon on Boundary Road — red brick, brass trim, black leather chairs — where the speciality is the full treatment: hot-towel shaves with a facial mask, beard conditioning and straight-razor finishes, at prices reviewers call very good value.

Old-school service, honest value.

Great service, great prices and charming, polite staff — the three themes that run through this shop's reviews.

The shop

Brick, brass and the full treatment.

Behind a black awning on Boundary Road — next door to The Cedar — Abbey is a compact, characterful room: exposed brick with brass trim, a big framed mirror, an ornate railing by the door and a row of waiting chairs under the brickwork.

Owner-barber Muhammad and Tofik cover the full range — razor, custom, scissor and fade cuts, shampoo and conditioning, beard conditioning, and a hot-towel shave finished with a facial mask. Kids are welcome too.
