The shop
Friendly first, skilled second — in that order, say the reviews.
Friendly staff is the runaway theme (12 mentions), then trims, fades and respect. Owner Danny runs a team of seven, and the reviews that stick are about patience: one dad, a customer for 15 years, describes Danny talking to and comforting his six-year-old autistic son through his cuts; another calls his 11-year-old's trim the best he's had.
The room matches the ethos — black tool chests for stations, a timber slat wall, ring lights for the detail work, and spotless floors (cleanliness gets its own mentions).

"The best haircut my 11-year-old has had."
Paraphrased from a Google review
Friendly and respectful staff, skilled fades and trims, a clean shop — and wait times that get a mention on busy market days, so mornings are the quiet play.

The sharp end: one reviewer asked for a taper and left with a buzz cut, with a dye cover-up alleged. Fairness matters here — the owner replied publicly offering a refund and a free haircut.
