Jimmy's

What makes the perfect men's barbers? Immaculate haircuts to exact specification? Certainly. An easy-going and relaxed atmosphere anyone can feel at home in? I think so. Old woodwork and traditional tools, whose antique age is beautified by their ever-lasting and insurpassable practicality? No doubt. Through my work in the film industry I have enjoyed haircuts from the best talents money can buy, when at a suppliant hour I have asked generous colleagues for a cheeky trim; there is no difference between thiers and Jimmy's. I have travelled the world and had many a haircut which cost much more but was the lesser quality, where perfection of this calibre sets a standard that cannot be beaten, only met. But where Jimmy's truly outclasses any competition in the local area and stands it among the best in the country is, of course, the personality of the staff themselves. I have been going to Jimmy's for 25 years, since I was 9 years old. First it was the old guard, Jimmy himself and co., old Cypriote mobster-types, charming as the day is the long, effortlessly turning scruff into scripture. Then came the era of James, Kristina and Alex, all of them defectors from high-end hair salons like Toni & Guy and Videl Sasoon, choosing the humble work of their craft over highly paid, highly demanding careers. And from that generation, Sirwan has arisen as the purest strain of their bloodline, a man who exemplifies the artform and establishment's historic personality, as front-line laboruer, incredibly kind manager and genuine friend to all his customers. His colleague Ian has well-proven his stripes now as equally possessing "The Gift" and I am inspired by their seamless workflow and true camraderie. He is Sirwan's right-hand man, his XO, his trusted shipmate navigating waters rough and smooth with the consistency and subtletly only the hand of experience can know. Every cut from first of the day to last of the week recieves equal care and attention, irrespective of the queue. No customer is too tricky, no style too niche; they have recently fulfilled my life ambition of having a "Corleone" style cut which would gain me admission to the mafia in an instant. I am happy for them, as following the pandemic there was understandbly a bit of a downturn but from what I can see they have rebuilt together and business is booming again. In all these years I never thought to write a review, as truly it felt morelike a friend's house than a business I frequent, but after recent banter about online reviews I couldn't resist the opportunity to express my gratitude; thank you, Jimmy's, and especially James, Alex, Krystina, Ian and most of all Sirwan. I can honestly say you guys have impacted my life in a meaningful way, bringing comfort and confidence during the hard times, pride and joy during the happiest. You are a landmark business in Chiswick and deserve every success. God bless and I look forward to returning again soon - if only my hair grew faster! Services: Hairstyling, Kids' cuts
