I can count on one hand how many times I’ve enjoyed myself at the hairdressers, let alone felt at ease with scissors that close to my head.
And so much at ease I was on my first time there (literally on Tuesday 6th Dec 2022) that I asked Davey “should we try something different?” And he delivered! Do you know what it’s like to get compliments on a new do?
I really do think the environment can add to the experience, and you can just tell that at Cut & Run, though it may’ve had the same stickers/posters of pop culture cornerstones that other hairdressers have, that this place has put care into it, rather than clique-y pretension of other barbers. Think Blade Runner, Bill Murray, Weird Al, and even a signed Bowie poster (sadly, not an authentic Bowie signature).
And ya know how sometimes chat with your barber is like first date vibes? Like broad generic conversation while you think “cut it faster, pls!?” This was far off that. We just talked shop on music and travel, and before I knew it, I was outta there — BISH BASH BOSH!
Very impressed. I will definitely come back, and will also recommend to my friends. If I moved out of Stoke Newington, there’s a big big chance I’d travel for a Cut & Run chop.
