Truefitt & Hill reviews
Sadly disappointed. I was sent there for a traditional shave, but when I got there I was told my barber hadn't arrived for work. When she did turn up, there was no apology, no hello, and I felt like I was an inconvienence. The shave was rushed - most definitely not the 30 mins I was told it would take - and there was no communication throughout the treatment.
I can only assume the lack of punctuality of this staff member is a regular occurance, as I arrived early and another client who'd had an appointment before me had stormed out the door and was overheard saying to the Manageress that this was not the first time he'd been treated like this by the same barber.
I can only say, if anyone is thinking of going there for a shave or a treatment, do not book yourself in with the young lady barber. Try any of the gentlemen instead, as having sat and watched them perform treatments on clients, they were certainly more down-to-earth and friendly.

Had a shave recently by a chap called Russell. I was very impressed - it is the best I've had in a while, and his personality and wit were a bonus. Would recommend to all.

I had a shaving lesson at this salon with the so-called 'old Greek guy'. He was wonderful, very informative, helpful and patient. Would definitely book another class with him.

I treated myself and my two best men to a shave on the day of my wedding. As I was the groom, I took advice from a previous reviewer and asked for the guy from Selfridges. I got the best shave - this guy knows what he's doing. It's such a shame that my best men ended up with the older Greek barber, as he did the two of them in such a rush they were both finished before myself. If you're after the best shave ever, ask for Russell the stylist from Selfridges.

I was treated via a gift voucher from my partner for a hair cut and cut throat shave. What a magical shop, just like stepping back in time. My barber was formerly from Selfridges. The hair cut was amazing and he taught me so much about the correct way to shave (not bad since I was doing it wrong for so many years).
Every man should try this at least once. The voucher was a great idea and better to receive than the normal socks.

Terrible experience - and I never even got through the door. I called twice to confirm my appointment, when I arrived the shop was shut up and no one was there. When I called back a few days later, they made no offer of any kind of concession to make up for my inconvenience.
