City Barbers is just one of many no-nonsense barbers vying for business on the City Road. Thankfully, it's been around long enough, and is supported by a strong local, devoutly loyal, customer base, and so it has been able to weather both the recession, and the increase in competition in recent years. Prices are keenly competitive, and, with many years of experience, the standards are high.

Do you like short hair and having a close cut then city barbers does the job. What surprising about…read morethe shop window is the photos representing the type of cut you could expect are not faded like most of the other barbershops along the street. There are plenty of customers that keep coming back so they must be doing something right. The student population also benefits from a rock bottom discount of £6 a cut. My preference is no longer to have such a short cut but these guys do a good job, and if your preference is having a bloke cut your hair then it's for you.

What can I say other than: "I wish I found this place sooner!"…read more Don't be put off by how cool the decor and indeed the barbers look. Your experience will be both friendly and professional. But let's get down to what's important. The cut. The fade. The attention to detail. I can happily report all of the above are excellent. A common misconception of other so called barbers is that short hair is short to cut. Of course the reality is the opposite. If a haircut is less than 30mins then something is missing. My cut at Capello's was about 45 and was fantastic. It's a first come first served situation and there didn't appear to be any sinks for hair washes but they use the Turkish choaker method which lets minimal hair down the collar. Also I'd have to say there was very little residual hair anywhere when I left. Of course everyone is different and has their preferences but as someone that gets their hair cut every 3-4 weeks - all over the western world - I have to say this place is one of the best I've been to.

When I first moved to Cardiff I was a struggling man trying to find the perfect hairdressers that would suit my needs. I'm not a fussy person, all I want is my hair to be chopped off and pay a reasonable price for it. I found La Zarou Brothers Metro located in High Street Arcade. I was pleasantly pleased with this little find. There is no need to book an appointment as you can just walk in and get served then and there. The level of surface surprised me too; they offered me a glass of water or a cup of tea when I walked in which is something I have never encountered with a salon. They offer all types of styles and cuts and the staff will do anything you request with your hair. I think it's the cheapest hairdressers in town. I paid £13 but left as a happy customer La Zarou Brothers Metro is an excellent little salon with great service. It is now my regular salon and I recommend you make it yours too!

Judging by the 'old school' look of the place, that bares a striking resemblance to another barbers, (albeit fictional), of a similar name... well... I'm sure you know what I mean...! Stamy Todds is a traditional barbers shop in every sense of the word. It's got those old style chairs that I wish women's salons had... they're the type that recline and also allow the barber to hoist them aloft, by pumping away at a foot peddle... I think they must be hydraulic...? Anyway, they're ace! I've sat in quite a few of them when I used to go to the barbers in India. Yep, you heard me right... I used to go to the barbers! But there's method in my madness... All the women in India have long hair and so you are always incredibly hard pressed to find a hairdressers as they just don't need them! So it was a case of a barbers or nowt! Everything about Stamy Todds hearkens back to a bygone era... and that includes the pricing. You'll have change from a tenner no matter what you go in here for... and you'll come out smelling of pomade! Oh joy!

I loved the service you got; the price was fantastic for the cut you received, and you always walked away with a high quality cut and you knew you would be back again. A&H Asprou are a barbershop located on Holton Road in Barry, it's just on the outskirts from the main town. You can immediately tell that it is a men's barbershop because of all the reading material there is whilst you sit and wait. You have many newspapers but also the magazine FHM. This is definitely a 'no girls allowed' zone. I'm drifting from the point now, what I want to stress about this place is the service is fantastic, you can walk in without an appointment and wait, and it's very cheap. I remember paying £8 for my last cut and it was one of the best I had. It can get busy on certain days especially the weekend, but if you are prepared to wait then you will get the best cut you deserve. A&H Asprou is an excellent barber shop where you can get a cheap and amazing hair cut along with the high level of service by the guys who work there. One of the best!
