No idea how the haircuts are - I didnt get that far - but its not worth booking an appointment. I booked an appointment for a haircut for 4pm today at Route 8 in Emersons Green because I only had a limited break time from work. I arrived early and waited whilst the two barbers finished with their clients. I was the only one waiting. At about 3:50pm, another man came in and also sat down to wait. As the barber finished with his client, he told me he was just going to trim this other guys beard and would be five minutes. (Not asked, told, by the way, but I didnt mind waiting five minutes.) 10 minutes later and the barber is now giving the other guy a full haircut after his beard trim while Im still sat there waiting! I get up to leave because I realise I wont get back to work in time otherwise, and even with the clippers still cutting this other customers hair (!), the barber tells me Ive finished mate! But he evidently wasnt finished - there was still a big uncut patch at the back of the other guys head. What a waste of time and poor customer service. Dont know if this other guy was just one of the barbers mates or something but there was no reason for the barber to let him jump the queue, especially as I had said I had a 4pm appointment when I arrived. Other barbershops that offer appointment which Ive been to on a weekday afternoon havent had trouble sticking to their appointment times. No point making an appointment at Route 8, it seems, so Ill go elsewhere in future.
