Best Barbers near me in Grays Riverside, Southend-on-sea

Dylan gave me a skin fade that was done to a really high standard, with the trim on top spot on as well. I’ve never had any issues with his work — in fact, it’s hard to believe he’s still an apprentice because the quality of his haircuts is excellent.

Great service from David. In for a haircut and beard trim/shape. David took his time, explained tips on growing, styling and maintaining a new beard. Easily the best barbers in town.

Dwayne absolutely crushed it! Went in looking like a regular dude, came out looking like I was ready for the WWE main event. This guy doesn’t just cut hair — he lays the SmackDown on bad styles. My fade is so clean it’s basically People’s Eyebrow level. Dwayne the Rock? Nah… more like Dwayne the Chop — because my hair has never looked this electric. If you want a haircut that rocks, this is your guy. 10/10, would let him body slam my split ends again any day. 💪😂

I took my son and myself to George for a haircut and we both had a great experience. George was friendly, professional, and took real care with both cuts. He listened to what we wanted and made sure everything was done properly rather than rushing through it. My son was really comfortable in the chair and George was great with him, which made the whole experience easy and relaxed. Both of us came away with sharp, tidy haircuts and we were really pleased with the results. You can tell George takes pride in his work and enjoys what he does. We’ll definitely be back again!

Barber was helpful and let me know his colleague is better for beard, whom was on holiday. But he did a great job with my long beard. Checked what was good to keep and what should be got rid of. As it's my first trim after growing for 9 months, took time to communicate. Thanks George

One of the best barbers I have been in for a long while, nice clean studio , very professional, offed me a hot or cold drink when I got there . Went through the limits of the hair style I had and made recommendations on changes which I had never had given to me before. I’m booked in again for next cut ! Cannot recommend him enough great barber great service !! Cheers Yau 👍👍👍

Just wanted to say a big thank you to Yau — not only is he a top-class barber, but also a genuinely great guy. He always goes above and beyond, takes real pride in his work, and makes every cut feel like more than just a haircut. His attention to detail and care is why most of my family now go to him too! Really appreciate the service and the vibe — wouldn’t go anywhere else. Cheeers Mate!

Incredible customer service, such a friendly barber.Look forward to the haircut everytime I have one booked,can’t recommend enough.

Brilliant barber, knows his stuff and a great chat. Gave me the look I wanted from reference photos and told me what he was doing at different steps to make sure he was doing what I wanted perfectly.

Great service as always , shame the drink wasn’t ice cold though lol . But seriously can’t fault Yau one bit , good banter , great haircut !!
