Who we are

A haircut can
make your week.

The length of the Golden Scissors shop floor

We’ve always been struck by how much a haircut changes a man’s week. Walk out sharp and you carry yourself differently. Walk out wrong and you think about it every time you pass a window.

That’s why the thing between a barber and his customer is trust, and why it takes years to earn. Golden Scissors has been on Harrow Road for thirty years, cutting for the same families as they moved through the area - and for plenty of people who now travel back across London for it.

Six chairs run at once, so the queue keeps moving and a booked slot means what it says. Every barber here has been doing this for years. Nobody is learning on you.

The prices have stayed where they are on purpose. A crew cut is £10 and a full skin fade is £17, in a postcode where that isn’t normal. We’d rather see you every three weeks for thirty years than squeeze you once.

Six chairs

Six barbers working at once, so the queue moves and a booked slot starts on time.

Thirty years in

The shop has been cutting on Harrow Road for thirty years, and every barber here has two decades of his own. Nobody is learning on you.

From £10

A crew cut is £10, a full skin fade £17. Maida Vale prices without Maida Vale prices.

Walk-ins welcome

Booked or not, you'll get a cut. Booking online just means you skip the wait.

Outside the door

Should you get
that haircut?

The board on the pavement has been working through this question for years. It always arrives at the same answer, which is convenient, because so do we.
