The Barber Shop Pickering Town Centre

After searching on Google during the current lockdown related to the COVID-19 pandemic, I was lucky to find this location open for business. Everything went well from beginning to end with a great haircut and excellent beard and moustache trim done by my stylist Ben who was a true professional. Highly recommended location! Because of the restrictions only 10 people are allowed at one time. Walk-ins are not being accepted at this time. Call and make an appointment.

I showed a picture of what I wanted (a picture of myself and how it normally gets cut elsewhere) and I got something completely different. These are armature barbers who only know how to buzz your sides and make you look like a soccer player. It's 30 bucks, so better you pay the extra 10 at a proper barber (you know the kind that shines your shoes with red and white barber stripe pole). I considered walking out and not paying.

I went in for a haircut and I'm very happy with my experience from the reception to my hairdresser who cut my hair she gave me the cut exactly how I wanted it she also went far and beyond to trim my hair around my ears and my long eye leashes for me and then she washed my hair. Overall I would say my experience was exceptional from both the reception and stylists. If I ever need another haircut I'll definitely go back there.

2 stars because Usually I get decent haircuts here, the turnover has been huge so the quality has gone down. I walked out with an unusually smaller beard and lots of cuts. The Barber seemed to be in a hurry to finish the job.

I went in for a cut that was done very quickly. I told the barber I wasn't sure how short I could get it cut (as I had to get in contact with my agent) so not to do a full fade but just a scissor cut which he did. At the end he did not show me the back of my head which granted I did not think to ask for - that's on me. About 10 minutes after I got my girlfriend to take a picture of the back of my head for me to see, and it was extremely poorly done. I went back and told them I wanted it fixed but because they were closing they told me to call back to schedule it the next day. When I called I told them I had contacted my agent and they approved the fade and that when I came in that's what I would get where they said okay. At this point they could have told me for this service they would charge me a full haircut and not just a fix but they did not. Once I got there the new barber asked what I wanted and I showed the picture of a previous fade I had where she could have again told me it would be extra money but did not. The cut was a little shorter on top then I wanted but that's fine it will grow in a few weeks. When I went to check out they informed me I would have to pay full price. I explained to them why it should not be so - as it was still a fix from the day before where I was unhappy with the cut, it was under 24 hours later, and they could have informed me at any point before the actual cut that it would be extra money - yet they insisted I pay full price. I argued for a little while but I didn't want to spend all day. I did not ask for my money or my tip back from the first cut. I did however pay for the second cut but did not tip. I personally do not recommend this location as I do not find that they have a service that cares about their customers. They are unreasonable and dont put in the effort that I've had with other shops.

Dom is my go-to at this spot and has been for some time now. The professionalism and quality of cut are exceptional every time I come out and the customer service is amazing. If u go here definitely ask for Dom. The best cut I’ve had in all my years.

I went to this barber shop excited about my haircut! I went in there and a man cut my hair. He did a really good job until he was cutting the top of my hair, I asked for 1 quarter of my hair cut, and he cut three quarters. But then they gave a discount so it's ok I guess. But if you go there make sure to really clarify what you want.

Do not go here, very disappointed. Had a few decent experiences before, but today I went I asked for the lady to buzz a bit around the sides and ONLY cut with scissors on top. I tried to keep it as simple as possible, and I stressed that I wanted to keep enough length to gel and style my hair. What I got was her completely ignoring me and she buzzed my entire head, and then she tried to convince me that it was what I wanted. Now I have no choice but to wait and wear a hat while my hair grows back, thanks a lot.
