Supercuts

My son is 14 and we live 5 minutes away. I let him go to the barber by himself. He HAD messy sides (not too long) which were not clean cut and never cut with the razor. He also had fairly long bangs. His hair was causal and cool styled. When he returned he looked completely different. According to him he sat down and the hair dresser didn’t ask what he wanted so just before she was about to start he said ‘a good trim, please’. Then the stylist picked up the razor and just kept shaving, his back and sides were just cut with a mixture of no.1 & no.2 razor guard. If this wasn’t harsh enough the hair dresser then got on to styling his bangs and she certainly didn’t trim them. When he got home he had no bangs left they had been cut off.
When he got home I realised that his neckline shape had changed, I thought nothing of this at the beginning but now there are loads of sprouting hairs. So basically my son paid £9.95 for his sides to be cut to buzz cut length and for his bangs to be removed. This was the first and last time he will be visiting this place.

With what hair I have left… They managed to do a great job. The obligatory end of hair cut question about if I needed a product was pointless but over a fast and good option at Liverpool Street.

Oddly I’m leaving this review in response to terrible service and experiences at other Supercuts branches in London.
To be honest I’ve never understood the criticism for Supercuts, perhaps until now. I have simple hair, when it’s short at least, aka either it’s cut short and straight or curly when longer… there’s no style, it’s literally just cut. That said, I prefer a good scissor cut over a traditional barber, but certainly don’t need the likes of Toni & Guy… in most cities I work I have a «place», and it was usually this Supercuts until I switched work locations putting this particular one harder to get to than usual.
In contrast to my other Supercuts experiences I’ve always rocked up here after work with an hour or less to go before closing and always gotten a cut in, without fail… they simply have the staff to cope with the number of customers.
Due to my experience here I just assumed that all Supercuts were created equal, but boy is that not the case! Three attempts at two other Supercuts in one week proved this to me the hard way… one with over two hours to go before closing due to four customers already being there… I repeat, four. While completely acceptable for a small place or somewhere that doesn’t pride itself on walk ins, I find this unacceptable at a place like this… for contrast I have arrived with five people ahead of me with one hour to go at the Liverpool branch, with it never being a problem.
All of this to say if you’ve had terrible experiences at other Supercuts, and have avoided this branch as a result, it may be worth popping in this particular one if you’re in the area and are after a quick and simple cut that won’t break the bank.

Supercuts is one of the most ubiquitous of the saloon chains in London, and one of the most affordable of them all.
This is not my usual destination for a haircut. But given its convenient location (inside Liverpool Street station), it is a great place to go to if you are in a hurry or on a weekday if you need to spruce up before an important meeting. The rates start from £14 for a haircut … £17 if you include the shampoo. This is a bit more expensive than I like, but one has to be ready to pay for convenience.
The service is good and the staff Is friendly. They take great care while doing the job … to the point of making me feel that they take an inordinately long time to finish cutting (which is fine if you are the customer on the seat, but not so much if you are one of those waiting).
One big advantage of its location is that i can ask directly for a formal, professional look, without having to identify a hair style from among many pictures. They are used to seeing bankers, and that suffices for me.
They accept credit cards (which is not so common among barbers even in this exceedingly plastic friendly city of London). I won’t be a regular here anytime soon, but I can foresee needing to come back once in a while.

Stopped in this shop for a much needed haircut and was pleasantly surprised by the friendly atmosphere and the professional manner and technique of my hairdresser, Ismael. Ask for him if you want a high quality, price-​performing haircut.

I pretty much always get my hair cut here, as it is conveniently located right next to the office.
Ok, onto the review. So I would normally rate this place at a 3.5−4. They give good quality haircuts for a fair price (£13.95 if you don’t get shampoo’d beforehand). Even better, their service is also fast enough that I can pop out at lunch, get seated in 5 minutes, and be finished with my haircut with enough time to grab a sandwich on the way back.
What usually keeps them from the 5 stars I am giving them today is their customer service tends to be brisk.
However, today this was different. The stylist met me with a smile and a handshake, asked my name and whether I came here often. He asked how they normally cut my hair and upon my answer made a suggestion to improve what they do. I thought it was a great idea and agreed. The stylist was efficient, but not brisk, and was very careful with the haircut (being precise is not always an attribute of Supercuts stylists).
After the haircut was finished, he asked how I liked it, shook my hand again and said he hoped to see me there again. (Upon writing this review, I am considering that he may have been hitting on me… Well I’m just going to assume it was a turn for the better in Supercuts customer service! :-)

Needing a haircut, I tried the Supercuts in the mall near my customer. They had a queue that would have made me late for the train. So when I was passing through Liverpool Street, my eye caught the Supercuts sign on the mezzanine level.
A small shop, they had six stylists working and were able to seat me immediately. The stylist asked me how I wanted my hair cut and followed those instructions well, keeping up a nearly continuous chatter while clipping and buzzing around my ears. When it was all said and done, it was a nice cut and I was very pleased. Well worth the £13.95.
I don’t know if I would return, only because I usually like to go straight home and shower out the loose bits they always seem to miss. But if I am again pressed for time, it’s a great idea!

Whilst I’ve had way too many bad haircuts to chance getting my barnet seen to in a salon housed in a railway station, Supercuts, which offers haircuts to men, women and children at, I’m told, very competitive prices, is nonetheless a good place to stock up on hair care supplies.
It can be difficult to find things such as good hair products in East London and so Supercuts has, on occasion, been a bit of a lifesaver. Stocking products by KMS, Redken, Tigi, Bed Head et al, you’d be hard pressed to think of a hair care product not available at Supercuts. And for that, I give this bargain salon three stars.

Located on the upper concourse of Liverpool street station, they do basic cuts starting from around £12. Visited earlier in the year to just get hair trimmed. They don’t do appointments, you just arrive, take a seat & wait your turn till a hairdresser is available. Luckily they weren’t too busy & I only had to wait about 5 or so mins. The lady who cut my hair was efficient, wanted to know if I’d like to have more than a simple trim (was obviously itching to cut my hair more than I’d stipulated!) and it was all completed relatively quickly & more to the point — as I had requested — a plain simple trim. Cost me about £12.95 I think and they take debit/​credit cards. Had a lot of men there getting their hair cut/​trimmed — only a few females were there getting cuts as well.
