“Probably the best Barbers in the UK!”

Probably the best Barbers in the UK! I’ve been going here for 3 years all the staff are always welcoming and highly skilled to give the best haircuts every time. You have to book your appointment here which I like as well. If you haven’t been here before you really must you won’t be disappointed . It’s worth going as well just to hear Lee one of the barbers jokes! 🤣 Keep up the fantastic work guys!

My son is 3.5 and has been getting his hair cut by Jon since his first hair cut 2 years ago. Jon is patient, funny and makes my son feel comfortable and safe. Ive never known my son to sit still for anything, yet Jon can use clippers and scissors and my son stays chilled throughout. Genuinely wouldn't take him to get his hair cut anywhere else.

Jon at smooth operators is wonderful! My husband and son won’t get their hair cut anywhere else! He does such a good thorough job and he’s very friendly! Great with kids too!

Booked on line. No problem. Arrived a little early for my 11.30 appointment. Lee was just finishing up with a previous customer. A clean up of the work area and I was called. A very good cut as requested. A nice friendly chat during the process and Lee remembered details from our previous appointment. Very impressed with the whole process and set up. Would / will recommend Smooth Operators to my friends and family ( males of course ).

Cannot recommend this place enough. I've been coming to see Jon for years. Genuinely top bloke, great service, and the only barber that's ever managed to tame my hair the way I like it! Very fair price in my opinion and could charge a lot more for what is delivered - I've had worse cuts for much more! Cheers Jon, appreciate every cut and conversation
