Reviews of Champs Barbers

I. G.

My best haircut in London. I really enjoyed the cut and all the treatment. However, £25 it is a bit expensive for me.

M.

Had my hair cut after 6 months of lockdown and chose ‘Champs’ for the 2nd time. Met my stylist and cutter Mr Fluffy for the first time and had an awesome experience. I wasn’t sure on what style to go with and Fluffy suggested I go with his idea and as I had a lot of hair I let him take control and cut as he knows best. In the end I’ve had the best haircut I could have wished for and am really happy. Had a great day out in London, had fun in the ‘Champs’ salon with all the guys and feel like a million dollars. Thanks guys… respect.

P. T.

Best place in Central London for a haircut. Cool vibe, nice people and good music.

D. N.

super friendly and very professional barbers. Excellent service and good value for money. Ask for Fabian, he is great

T. P.

Attention to detail & quality hair cuts. Had a good experience with down to earth group of barbers. Good price & perfect haircut.

G. M.

Champs Barbers is welcoming and the barber took his time for my cut and he was friendly, but he didn't follow my instructions. I had chest length straight hair and I wanted it cut straight to the top of my shoulders, and still be able to tie it back, but instead he did lots of layering and the top layer is significantly shorter and uneven and I can't tie my hair back anymore. During the whole cut, he had me face away from the mirror so I didn't have the opportunity to see it was heading in the wrong direction until it was too late. Also, him using a comb instead of a brush on long hair is much slower and more painful. I'm guessing this barbershop would be better for short haircuts.

P. S.

Stumbled across this Barbers on my lunch break one time. I've been going back for the past 18 months now, as have many of my friends that I have recommended it to. Great customer service and atmosphere in the shop. Great crew of barbers who obviously take pride in their work. Consistently high quality cuts at a steal of a price for Central London. Can't recommend this place highly enough!

L. J.

I've had my hair cut there a couple of times now and I'll never need to try another barber shop in London again. Best cut I've ever had, no matter which member of the team does it. The shop has a relaxed atmosphere and they're always a good chat, but they're serious about their cuts and take pride in their work. Phenomenally low prices, especially for Central London. An honest and real barber shop that I'd recommend to everyone!

M. F.

Found my favorite barber shop in London!:) Thanks Champs!:) Unbeatable price for quality cut and such friendly people!:) Been coming back for two years now. Had my wedding day haircut by my fave barber. No regrets!:)

D. A.

Great shop. Clean and great vibe. Fabian is superb.

M. S.

All barbers here are great! They can all cut any type of hair so you an feel at ease. Very friendly, customer service is 👌. Staff are all very nice and the environment is always live an russling with good energy!

Looking for a barbershop in Central London that does Afro hair (and does it properly) is like looking for a needle in a haystack. Thankfully, when I searched for "black barbershop in London" on Google, Champs Barbers came up. I was intrigued by the 5-star rating, but I was convinced by the reviews given to Champs. The one that most caught my eye basically said "I'm an African American man and Champs is my shop". I was sold, and so much so that I went this afternoon for a cut. When I arrived, I was greeted by a number of very friendly barbers who -upon careful inspection - all appeared to be masters at their craft. Their skill, however, was not only limited to cutting Afro hair - I found myself in a United Nations of barbershops, where people of many different backgrounds came together for the common goal of leaving, looking more fresh than when they had gone in. For me, this (and the tunes they had on *cue Kayne West's College Drop Out Album*) made a really unique and warm atmosphere that you don't find in most shops. I had my haircut by Brian. Although I didn't see my cut until the end, when he turned the chair around and show me his work, the first thing that immediately came to mind was "On point". He did a solid job and was a great guy to chat with as well. All in all, I would recommend Champs to anyway living, or passing through London like me. A fantastic experience all around!

S. G.

Ian I hope you remember us. We were the family you helped and accomodated. I never seen such a humble and kind hearted guy. The staff were amazing. My nephew was very pleased with his haircut. We can't get over how attentive the staff were. All very friendly. Defo first class service. Ian and his staff are the true champions. We can't thank you enough for what you have done. It was just not about haircut but it was a story of kindness and humility. God bless you always.

C. H.

Great staff. Friendly and welcoming environment! I regularly go back here. They offer you tea/coffee whilst waiting. Barbers are pretty skilled, I would highly recommend it if you're in central London.

T. A.

Great atmosphere, friendly group of barbers. One of the few places where you don't need to worry who cuts your hair because the quality across their staff is so high. Also one of the few places in Central London that aren't committing daylight robbery with their prices. Awesome place, awesome people, awesome haircuts.

Z. W.

Almost never leave reviews, but this place is amazing. Have been cut by four different barbers now because they tend to be booked quite far in advance, and have been really impressed every time. Every barber is top quality, and the place strikes a nice balance between friendly, relaxed, and professional

A. S.

Used to go here a few years back before I moved office. Really loved having my hair cut there before. This time I got sat downstairs which felt a bit grim. The barber turned me away from the mirror and then turned me round when done. Wasn’t particularly impressed by that method and the haircut was ok. Did a below par job on beard and could tell he wasn’t comfortable doing it. Not bad but just not good. Won’t be going back in a hurry.

M. R. A.

Just got a dope haircut with Michael. One of the best barbershops around especially for fades, wavy, curly hair...plus really chill vibe, super nice barbers, and great music. As Michael told me, “welcome home.”

A. M.

I was in Ldn for a couple weeks, and Michael with the supreme hat saved my life. Best fade I've ever had, and even tho there was a line he took his time, and has ruined my expectations for any other barber I go to in the future. Not exactly cheap, but definitely a great experience for me.

R. B.

Best Barbers in London. As a gay man - it's hard to find somewhere that will do both my beard and hair that I feel comfortable in that's not a hairdressers in Soho or blokey's barbers. Champs - is honest, good value and an excellent service. The staff are professional, friendly and always make you feel welcome. Been part of the Champs family for years now and wouldn't dream of going anywhere else.

M. S.

5 stars. They cut my son’s hair so well he was really pleased. Really took their time and very friendly and welcoming atmosphere. They don’t rush and look like they pay care and attention to every cut. Highly recommend! Really rate them

#. G.

Hands down the best barber shop in London. If you have long hair, Angel is your girl, plaits are so neat they make fresh AF1' look used and she DOES NOT pull 🙏 Make an appointment though as the demand is high.

A. T.

I've been to Champs on a few occasions now due to its ideal location a few minutes walk from Oxford Circus station. I couldn't speak more highly of the place. Champs has an amazing atmosphere, good energy and incredible barbers. Rambo, Flako, Troy, Angel and Champ have all cut my hair to date. All have done an incredible job. I look rough most of the time and I leave there looking fresh with a style and cut that is modern, precise and lasting. Rambo cut my ha hair and beard today and he did a fantastic job. Not just that we had a good laugh and I've left completely satisfied. I only wrote write reviews when someone or something stands out so I want to say a big thank you to the guys and girls at Champs. My only advice is to call in and book an appointment avoid a wait as it's not unusual to see a queue out of the door. If you do go mention you saw my review and enjoy the great service. Ayman

c. b.

So it can be tricky as a black American man to get a proper haircut while traveling so I was beyond amazed when I found this shop! My guy Fabian runs a mean operation, I mean, this may have been the best experience I've ever had at a barbershop and I live in NYC. Guys, check them out

D. M.

Champs is fast becoming a local institution, you can turn up unannounced or book in advance and get your preferred barber's attention. All the cutting crew here are excellent, outstanding in fact. The attention to detail, fun banter, old skool tunes and the boxing paraphernalia (hence Champs), makes every visit a memorable one.... of course the best thing is you walk in looking rough, and leave rocking it buff :)

N. K.

Best place to get hair cut in London! Ian and his posse are friendly and always welcoming! Book ahead to avoid long wait as place is so popular! Shout out to Angela and Rambo for their excellent cutting skills!

C. H.

Just in London for a few days and needed a trim. Delightedi could find Champs Barbers. Its a great barber shop filled with good music and talented barbers who, as well as being masters of small talk, also are very professional and skilled with a wide variety of hair types. I was seen to by Chris who took all the time necessary to give me as close to the cut i asked for. Would highly reccomend Champs as a place to go with a difficult haircut or even just a regular trim.

S.

First time here, I was recommended by friends to get a cut from Angel. I have to say, everything was on point, she finessed my hair and gave me a new style! spent alot of time, paid massive attention to detail. Normally i am fussy, but there wasnt anything i could complain about. Definitely coming back and I would recommend her to anyone 100%.

B. Y.

Always walk away with a great cut, love that I can confidently book with any barber as they all know how to cut black hair. Also a friendly, welcoming barbershop where I don't feel awkward as a female going in for a trim.

M. M. B.

Best haircut I've had. The attention to detail is second to none and the banter Is brilliant. Talented, good natured family business that gave a better cut than some of london a more expensive barbers. Super cheap too at 15 quid a cut and they spent a good fourty five minutes on me.

A. W.

I am visiting the EU from NYC for about 4 weeks, and I needed a barber ASAP.... I called up Champs and they had an open time for me to come in and these guys are LEGIT! The barber ( owner of Champs ) made me feel like I was in my main barbers chair at home, and my man had me looking fly when I left... They have it all here, talented barbers, great atmosphere, and amazing service ( the owners wife offered beer / coffee )!

S. S.

I've been getting my hair cut at Ian's Champs since it opened. Despite getting my hair cut only once every two months on average, I'm always happy with Ian and his teams' work. Ian, his family and his team have done a great job in creating a friendly, family, and value-for-money business in a pricey London neighbourhood

S. M.

Never ever will I go to another barber shop...walked into this barber store a couple of years ago and have never looked back. Don’t worry about which barber will trim you, you will always walk out with the best haircut. The best barber shop you will go to hands down!

J. B.

Just had a sweet haircut from Fabian. My hair requires time and effort and he did a great job. Friendly crew and good price - best I've found in soho/Oxford street area

C. H.

I happened to stumble across this place and very glad I did. Extremely personable service, the shop looks great with memorabilia everywhere and the haircut was on point. Will be my go to barber thoughout my time in London over the years to come.

T. S.

Highly recommend this shop! Highly recommended for ALL hair types, to include Afro-European hair/black! The atmosphere is so welcoming and Champ (owner) has a great spirit. To any of my African American brothers/sisters CHECK THIS PLACE OUT! The service is quality and in a timely fashion. (Please do not walk away if there is a line. Be patient there are enough chairs for your service.) There were a few clients with the high/tight fades (so if you're looking for a little flavor they can set you right). Straight away! Payment is accepted in cash or card. They do accept tips so it's not offensive if you tip them for a job well done (I am American so I just wanted to make sure I didn't offend anyone). Champs also sells those hair sponges at an inexpensive price (I know this sponge will be my newest friend). Champs is not on a Main Street, but it's about a 12 min walk from Euston rail station. Take a cab or walk the way and figure out which pub you want to check out after your service. Mad respect for this establishment! Blessings & tings. I hope you all go for a visit. I gauruntee out will be more than satisfied with your outcome!

R. P.

I popped in casually in desperate need of a cut and these guys definitely have my business without a shadow of a doubt. There is a great atmosphere and they cut pro. I've never seen such precision watching them working on others.. The music is ace, love the Champs playlist on Spotify..

O. B.

Most consistent barber experience ever, plus they take appointments!

R. A.

Excellent place. I went for my first cut today, couldn't be happier with it. The service was brilliant and 'E' (The barber) was great value to chat to. I would highly recommend.

A. A. S.

Great vibe at this place, always playing classic hip hop and R&B tunes. Service is great with the best barbers in town. Been going here for almost 3 years now and I wouldn't think of changing barbers at all. Love this place!

E. O.

I shaved my head myself over 1 year ago and let my hair grow ever since: I was a disaster. So I go to Champs yeah, cuz I trust the guys a lot. Instead of calling me an idiot like a normal person would, my mate tells me this way it's all the more fun to cut, cuz it takes more skills. Wonderful cut as usual, and now I don't need a fridge no more, so fresh I am. Need a cut? Champs is the place to go.

R. P.

This place has a great atmosphere, it's tight but it's cosy. The barbers are fantastic regardless of who you choose. The music is good, the price is reasonable and the location for me at least is fantastic.

J. H.

Quality barbershop in central London cutting to American standard. The atmosphere in the shop is always good and their talented team of barbers cut all hair types. Shout out Rambo!

d. k.

I’ve been coming to Champs regularly now for over a year, getting my trims from Kishan. As always, the welcoming atmosphere, the music, the open conversations, and most importantly the quality haircuts make this barbershop unique to all the other shops I’ve been to in the past. Before, I would always have anxiety when it came to finding a barber I could trust with my hair, however Kishan provides me with a great, relaxed experience and, of course, a great trim, which has kept me coming back. If it wasn’t already obvious, I’d highly recommend Champs to anyone that has been looking for a barbershop that feels bustling and alive, and will guarantee you leave with a cut that has you feeling sexy the entire way home ;)

m. a.

I'm a regular at Champs, and always get my trims from Kishan. I've struggled to find a barber who knows how to cut my curly hair, but Kishan has never failed me. I don't only go back for the good haircut but the friendly, chilled atmosphere and good convo. Everyone at champs is really nice and all provide a great service.
