Walk in. There is no app.
We tried online booking for a year and took it off again. Half the slots went unused and the other half turned up late. So the door is the booking system, with two exceptions.
Put your name on the board by the door and have a seat. If the wait is going to be more than half an hour someone will tell you honestly, and you can go and come back.
Saturdays go quickly. A phone call in the morning gets you a rough time, not a slot, and we will hold the chair for ten minutes.
The hot towel shave needs the chair for twenty five minutes, so that one does go in the diary properly.
We open the door at 08:15 on a Wednesday for the kids who cannot miss a lesson. Ring on the Tuesday.
Three barbers, and what they are actually good at
Fades and anything with a pattern in it. Trained in Lisbon, has been here since the second year, and is the reason half the under twenties come in.
Scissor work and the hot towel shaves. If you have thick hair and every barber in the city has thinned it badly, book Marek.
Quick, quiet, excellent with children and with anyone who does not want to make conversation at nine in the morning.
