Unlike some other 'barbers' they still know how to use a pair of scissors so they won't just clip your hair. A cut and a wash is a reasonable £15 or a dry cut is £12.50 and you get as much or as little conversation as you like thrown in for free. If you are an Arsenal fan it may stand you in good stead as it seems that's who the staff support.

The only issue I had was when it came to them using the cut throat razor, having sensitive skin and thick stubble I asked for some shave cream to be used while going around the edges and doing my sideburns, but this was ignored leaving me with very painful and tender skin afterwards. Not the worst barbers you could come across and would recommend them if you are in a rush.

The proprietor thinks he knows better and asks me if I'm Chinese - I say no. He looks confused, but says, I give you best hair cut for a Chinese. I mean, what's my race got to do with what I ask for. He says, your hair, short back no good. I say, I want it that way. We carry on with this sort of banter back and forth and he gives me a short back and sides, and I say, just trim a little off the top and blend in the sides. Nope, he just takes a scissors to my hair and just goes for it. I now look like a toilet brush just in time for a Yelp event this week. Also, one of the roughest barbers I've been to. I assume someone's going to think I'm a prissy pants for not manning up, but this guy wouldn't listen and just plain rough. Don't go here if you respect how you look. What an awful place. I actually feel somewhat violated, since my attempts to refuse a short haircut went so ridiculously ignored. Ugh.

Okay the time i did it myself with some nail scissors when i was 6 because i got chewing gum in my fringe was worse. So....

I've come away from there with a number 3 length over the back part of the top of my head (yes the back part of the top of my head) and maybe an inch and a half long on the front. I look like i've just escaped from an asylum. AVOID THIS PLACE.

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.

(I'm very lazy when it comes to shaving.) When I entered Venus Barbers on Clapham High Street on a Wednesday morning, I was greeted by the staff and immediately asked to sit down. I explained that I was here for a shave and the friendly barber offered me a tea. (Interestingly, he then went outside the shop and got a tea from a next door café.) The shaving procedure started soon after with a face massage. Overall I really liked the shaving experience: the staff were super friendly and I felt really comfortable. The shave itself was thorough. (In fact, felt a little bad as I presented them with quite a challenge by not having shaved for more than 4 days.) I enjoyed the face massage that preceded the shave as well as the more elaborate post-shave facial massage. The hot towel at the end also felt good. There were a few things, however, that I feel could be improved: I would have liked the hot towel place on my face before the shave as well. (I'm not an expert, but I believe that facilitates the softening of the hair?) Also, the barber himself had hands that still smelled like cigarette smoke. (As an ex-smoker myself I know how hard it is to get rid of that smell, but the experience would've been nicer without it.) The shave altogether came up to £13, which is more than the Turkish barbers in Dalston, but still a bargain compared to the prices that they charge in the city. Plus, the cheerfulness of the staff made me want to come back one day.
