Never beaten on price or quality locally

6 New King Street · Deptford
Simon Barbers
One shop, one name over the door — and the same name in the chair. Simon has been cutting Deptford's hair for years, and his regulars say he has never been beaten on price or quality in the local area.
About the shop
The barber is the brand
Simon Barbers sits just off Deptford High Street on New King Street — black fascia, red trim inside, shelves of product and a waiting corner with the hairstyle posters on the wall. There's no team page and no rota to decode: Simon is the barber, and reviewers who've sat in his chair for about five years call him experienced and talented.
The value angle comes up again and again — "much better value than any of the shops on the High Street" is one regular's summary. The honest flip side of a one-man shop: when it's busy, you'll wait, and the few low reviews are about exactly that (plus one rushed beard trim). Go at a quiet time, or settle into the waiting chairs.

Five years in the same chair
"Simon is a very experienced and talented barber/stylist — I've been going to Simon for about 5 years." Loyalty like that is the shop's real rating.

Better value than the High Street
"Always a banging trim from Simon, lovely guy and much better value than any of the shops on the High [Street]."

The honest caveats
Three one-star reviews: one about a long wait and poor service, one about a rushed beard trim, and one hostile review Simon himself replied to disputing. One barber means queues happen.
