How this score works

The score estimates how strongly this place's review record matches known manipulation patterns, from 0 (no signs) to 100. Verdicts: Clean below 40, Suspicious from 40, Likely Manipulated from 70; Review Drive when the flags are mostly staff asking customers for named reviews. It rises with the share of reviews flagged and how suspicious each one is.

Burst
— an abnormal spike of five-star reviews in a single day compared to the place's usual pace.
Low activity account
— the reviewer has almost no other reviews, photos, or Local Guide history; throwaway accounts look like this.
Duplicate text
— the wording is nearly identical to another review of the same place.

Verdicts are statistical estimates based on public review patterns, not accusations. Full methodology, signal definitions and known limits →

I had booked an appointment and when I arrived at the barber shop the guy start saying that I should have waited one hour... Why do you allow for reservations? Plus he was rather arrogant

2★ · 2024-07-21

Although I've booked an appointment via the website I was sent back home as it was too busy. The guys were cool but if they can't honour an online booking better don't take any online bookings. We are all busy and plan appropriately. I've j...

Very disappointed. Have come here a few times and had decent trims by the guy who owns the place. This time was another guy who clearly didn’t care. Cut corners every way he could. Hadn’t cut whole areas of my hair (eg. Fringe before he sai...

Do not go - they don’t listen to what you want and will just give you the haircut they are comfortable with. Overcharges as well - got a normal haircut and it was 25£ even though they say that’s only what a skin fade is. Terrible barber.

Cash Only Policies and Payment Confusion

Reviewers note frustration with cash-only requirements or unexpected pricing during visits.

Quite dissapointed after reading so many positive reviews... the barber I had was very unattentive, leaving me waiting several times, and the haircut was pretty poor for the price. I've had better haircuts for half the price nearby. Rather...

Appalling sitting area, only space for 3 people max, meaning if you are going at any reasonable hour theres a good chance you will be standing while you wait. On top of that, after waiting 45 minutes for a haircut that will last half the am...

Avoid if

  • You are on a strict schedule and cannot risk appointment wait times
  • You prefer strictly cashless transactions
