GINO'S THE BARBER SHOP
The pillar-box red shopfront on Church Street has been cutting hair since 1965 — a curved pine counter, newspapers on the table, Dax tins in the case, and cash only, the way it has always been.

The shop
Unchanged since '65 — on purpose.
"Old school barbers" is the most-mentioned phrase in its reviews, and the shop wears it proudly: the window is a little museum — framed black-and-white photos of the shop through the decades, a "Stoke Newington's Lonely Hearts Club Band" poster, hairstyle portraits and the product tins lined up on the sill.
Inside it's the same story: wooden waiting chairs, the papers on the table, and barbers reviewers call great blokes — with conversation (and value for money) close behind the cuts in the praise.

"Nice people, reasonably priced, very traditional barbers."
From a Google review
"Great blokes, good barbers — my go-to barber for a while now."
From a Google review
The mildest of caveats from a 3-star review: "Good price point but you won't get a great haircut — probably best for buzz cuts." The other 143 reviewers mostly disagree.
