Union Barbers

The undisputed best place to get a haircut in Hyde Park, scratch that, in the whole of Leeds!
Over the 7 years I was in Leeds, I moved around a fair bit and tried a few different places to get a trim, but Union was by far the most consistently good. It’s so good in fact, that they don’t do walk-​ins, its appointment only. If you haven’t called up and got an appointment before 11, chances are they’ll already be full for the day.
They offer a 30% discount for getting a haircut before noon, which is probably because it’s situated in a predominantly student area and students are normally still drunk before this, but if you visit after 12 it’s still good value.
I was visiting Leeds for work recently and booked an appointment, gave my name and went in at 12.30 for my trim. I was pleased to see it hadn’t changed in the 4 years I’d been away, and the two guys I remember from my student days; Cabs and Jules recognised me which made me feel like I’d been a valued customer.
The shop was full of banter, jokes and hip hop music, but don’t let that fool you, they are serious about cutting hair, and they do it well!
