Jack the Clipper

I’ve been getting my hair cut by these guys and no one else since arriving in London, and they’ve done a great job about 11 out of 12 times. I always just show up and walk in, and while they’re always busy, there’s rarely more than a 20 minute wait. The guys are friendly and skilled, and they always offer water, beer, etc. I’m a big fan of their attention to detail — they always shave the back of the neck, flame the ear hair, and trim the eyebrows in addition to cutting hair quite well. I haven’t had them shave my beard yet, but I have no doubt they know what they’re doing there too. Highly recommended.

With no hyperbole I can honestly say I’ve had the worst haircut of my life today. I wear my hair short at the sides and long and curly on top. Upon entering I was told to take a seat. Didn’t have to wait too long as it was pretty quiet, wasn’t offered a drink even though every other customer after me was. Maybe they didn’t like my face, that would certainly explain the cut.
I don’t know my hairdressers name as it was never offered nor did he ask for mine. He asked me what I wanted and how I style my hair. I said that I hadn’t had it cut in some time but I like it short on the back and sides with good length on top as I like to have my hair curly/​wavy. I started to show him a picture of how I wanted it but he walked off.
My head was thrust under a tap for the «cleaning» bit then he got on with the haircut. Clippers to the back and sides (which I’m fine with as I sometimes have this but I was dismayed that he didn’t ask me first whether I wanted clippers or scissors) then he took the clippers to the top! Before I realised what I was seeing he’d taken all my hair off up to about an inch! AN INCH! Not much curl anymore!
I was visibly unhappy with my cut yet the hairdresser appeard oblivious/didn’t care. Showed me the back as standard. You’ve taken all my hair off what is there to look at?!
Oh well, guess it will grow back by Xmas. I’ll stick to the high street salon in future. At least they actually listen to what you want.
I went to this barbers with high hopes and was really looking forward to a good cut. Extremely disappointed. Avoid!
£26 to have almost all my hair cut off… *sigh*
My hairdresser had a pony tail. If you really want to go there try not to get him.

So I’ve been going to Jack the Clipper for the last 3 months since being referred to it by a well groomed colleague of mine — he said it was «the best beard cut he’s ever had!» With this as my referral I decided to give it a go.
Today I walked in and Yasin was free. He welcomed me in and sat me down offering me something to drink. From the moment we shook hands his amiable demeanour and professionalism was impressive — and exactly what you want when trusting someone with a cut throat razor at your neck!
We had a chat about what I wanted and he set about giving me the best haircut, beard trim and clean up I’ve ever had! Not to mention the amazing massage from my finger tips to my scalp. It left me so relaxed I didn’t want to go back to work.
I’ve had four different barbers there and all have been fantastic. Today Yasin definitely made me a permanent customer of Jack the Clipper.
If you love your beard then this is the place to get it looked after.

Been coming here for years and never had a bad cut. These guys definitely know what they are doing. They always take great care and attention in what they are doing.
No booking … Just take a seat and wait… It’s worth it

Great precision barbering.
Recommended on a business trip to London.
Couldn’t be happier with my haircut. If you haven’t been to a Turkish barber before then you certain must. Check out these guys

In town for a few days on business and stopped in for a trim. Very hip place, cool atmosphere and friendly barbers. Got a great haircut.

First time having a straight razor shave.
First time having all of the hair singed off of my ears with fire.
First time I had a barber tell my girlfriend to leave the building because she was bothering us, lol… All in good fun!
I had the guy named Musa and he was hilarious and did an amazing job.
Would definitely go back if I was in that neighborhood of London again!
Thanks Musa!

A wonderful little place in the White Chapel area … freshen up with a full service treatment because the massage is great!
These guys are really proud of their profession and eager to get you looking and feeling right!

I’ve had two cuts here now and feel like I’ve experienced the spectrum of what they have to offer. I’m committed to becoming a regular.
The first time I had a talkative young lad who followed my instructions very closely, made me feel really welcome and gave me a great cut. I also opted for the shave which was again very good and only took a couple of minutes. In all I think I was in there for over an hour and left feeling great.
The second time I was served by an older guy who was a bit less chatty but more efficient, which was very convenient as I was on my lunch break and short on time. I am generally a bit unsure about what I want done, but this guy gave me a great cut and a style I didn’t even know I wanted.
I’ll definitely be going back when I next need a haircut, and I don’t mind which barber I get.

Was here on vacation and wanted a nice proper shave and was extremely excited to have an awesome experience, especially after a terrible hair cut. They were friendly, nice and did a great shave. I would say that if you want to come get a good shave go here. It also has a great atmosphere for men. :)

Was in London for a vacation with my son and he suggested that we get hair cuts and a shave. Found «Jack the Clipper» on google.
What an experience. I’ve had many straight razor shave but never quite as good as this. For my son, he’s never experienced a shave like this. He’ll never find one quite as good. THANKS.
So. California, USA

Unfortunately I can’t comment on the actual haircut/​shave. Despite the site saying they open at 10 on Saturday and me getting up specially, they’re shut.
They might want to get the basics of the site right before they start adding all the bells & whistles!

This men’s barber just south of Spitalfields Market has been around for years. They’ve recently upgraded their décor (and name) to fit the changing neighborhood characteristics. It’s an ‘old-​style’ men’s barber, but with a much more modern staff and clientele. The attention to detail is what stands out.
From the moment you walk in you’ll see it’s different. The décor is ‘sexy’, and they’ll offer you a free drink while you wait, or during your haircut. Last time I went I had a Turkish coffee — nice touch! I think you can also have a soft drink or juice, or even a beer.
In terms of services, they’ll will work with you and do what you ask, which isn’t always the case at many barbers. They offer shaves as well, and get ready for the turkish flame flourish at the end.
There’s no need to book, just walk in, have a seat and peruse the trashy red tops or men’s mags while you wait.
