The highlight of the setup is that you can enjoy a fantastic (but pricey) drink from the Wallpaper* bar next door. I had an expertly made Negroni -- made from a fairly standard mix of Bombay Sapphire, Campari, and Martini Rosso (no regal rogue here) with rosemary droplets and garnish. The haircuts are similar to Aono's flagship stores in Brighton. These barbers are meticulous, amiable, and come from all walks of life. Their attention to detail is simply superb. Whether you're looking for a familiar cut or want to try something new but aren't sure of what direction to go in, you will be very well taken care of here. Prices will of course reflect the location, which is to say this is more expensive than Brighton (and yet still quite reasonable given the price of anything in Knightsbridge) but a cut at Aono's first London location would readily compliment a day of shopping. Plus, having a drink all the while is pure luxury.

I definitely recommend this spot! I'm traveling through London (from the states) and was in need of…read morea haircut and proper beard trim as my device was on the fritz with the voltage differences. I am so happy I found this spot. I treated myself to a hot towel blade shave to go along with my goatee trim and haircut. My barber, Dom, was excellent. He was very professional and genuine. We exchanged conversation throughout the experience and was a delight to actually have someone who enjoyed what they were doing. If you are in need of a haircut and/or facial hair cut/trim you should call in advance as they do book up quickly. You will not be disappointed in this spot and ask for Dom to assist you if you are able.

I probably have been quite difficult as a client because I had a special haircut and beard style in mind and showed him some photos beforehand. Ben has frequently stopped at each stage of the procedure to ask and reassure himself that that is exactly what I wanted, and in the end I have had that kind of hair and beard style that not only I have imagined but which also suited me at the same time just perfect. Also the performance of the cut has been so skilled and neat as it could be.

It isn't my nearest barber and yet it's still the one I travel that little bit further to visit…read more Not sure what they're like if you require something other than the usual trim/strategic shave that I require these days, as the hair on my head increasingly gives up the ghost, but for my needs they are spot on. No fuss, no coffee, no tea (I'm simply not in there that long) but you do get a lively line in friendly banter for the first and last few minutes, with the desired focus on your follicles in between. Also I find the opening hours really help when you work 45 minutes away and have a busy lifestyle/Saturday lie-in.

There was an extra barber chair when I walked in and they immediately sat me down with no wait time. I was surprised to feel so welcomed by them and no awkward feeling despite being a stranger. Even after giving only a vague idea of what I wanted, the barber immediately went to work. I can't remember his name because it wasn't one I had heard before but he ended up eventually settling in London after a long journey via the Netherlands as a war refugee from Iraq in the 90's. The haircut was quick and efficient, and they waxed my ears which was a strange experience, but overall I felt like I came to the right place. If I lived in the area I would definitely come again.
