Check five things: recent reviews that describe the cut you want, hours that fit your week, whether you can book ahead, how clean the shop is, and whether the barber asks what you want before picking up the clippers.
The five checks
1. Reviews that match your hair. Look for reviewers describing your kind of cut: a fade, scissor work, a beard shape-up.
2. Hours. A shop that closes at 5pm does not work if you do.
3. Booking. Online booking means you are not waiting on a bench.
4. Cleanliness. It is the simplest sign of how a shop is run.
5. The consultation. A good barber asks, then checks in during the cut.
