Always a great cut at a very reasonable price. Fantastic staff and a lovely setting, wouldn't hesitate to recommend. Opening hours make it tricky with work, but just spotted they do appointments when writing this! Will try to be in even more!

Been using Scott's for some 35 + still a cracking place to get your haircut and they do a cracking job.

R. S.

The only place I would ever consider getting my hair cut. The staff are friendly, professional and knowledgeable and can give you advice on everything from haircuts and shaves to pans and records. Was, is, and always will be, the best barbers bar none. A Newcastle institution, it's worth a visit just to tell people you had your hair cut there.

Was passing through Newcastle and popped in for a quick beard trim. Great historic place, barely changed in a hundred years, with friendly staff and excellent service. Open early on Saturday (but don't expect it to be empty!) Highly recommend.

L. D.

Simply the best place to go for a haircut in the North East. Very well mannered , excellent barbers who always dress in a manner accustomed to bygone eras. Always waistcoat and black trousers with a white shirt. Original mirrors , chairs , cut throats, telephone on wall that you have to put your ear next to, to listen to the conversation, brilliant. All in all though, it is the ambience and the lads who work here who make you go back again and again. This is no ordinary barbers, it is the best barbers. You must try it, you will not be disapponted. Excellent place steeped in history.

J. D. C.

Was recommended by mates and my brother to come here. Loved it, really relaxed atmosphere and Allan gave me a fantastic haircut! Defo recommend and will be coming here from now on.

J. A.

Truly great traditional barbershop. There's no bells or whistles or any flash branding. This is just a group of guys who know barbering, know it well and let that talk for itself. Really friendly atmosphere and what I imagine it must have been like going to the barbers 60 or 70 years ago.

S. C.

Been going for years and the service is always great.

A. S.

The oldest, and by far the best barber shop in Newcastle. The shop interior stands pretty much as it did in 1919 when it first opened. The staff are all very accomplished barbers, and the conversation is always diverse, engaging, and quite often hilarious. Unlike many other barber shops, G Scott are also happy to cut women's hair. If you want a prime example of a Northern institution, soaked in the heritage of Newcastle, then look no further. The prices are realistic, if perhaps, dare I say it, a little underpriced for the sheer quality of the service and product. I'll leave it there. Pay them a visit.

M.

Fantastic old school barbers. Nice premises, really friendly and talented staff which contributes to a great atmosphere. Nice to see a place that takes their trade so seriously in comparison to some of the lesser barbers I've been to. And it's well priced, I won't be going anywhere else whenever I'm back in the Toon

H. B.

Visiting Newcastle from the south and decided i needed a haircut. Looked up barbers near me and George Scott came up. Reviews were good and it was decided. Allan cut my hair and a very good job he made of it too. Great place.

s. k.

Complete find. Had my hair cut by a guy who has just finished a PhD in American History. 1) He cut both my beard and hair to a high standard. 2) Genuine conversation. Good craic. 3) £13 quid. Good value. 4) Didn't have to wait ages; the wait was only 5 mins. Plenty of hairdressers working. 5) I'm going again.

S. H.

The best barbers in time. Always a friendly conversation you can join in. The music is eclectic and the craic is great

P. C.

My third place I tried since I came to Newcastle and been looking for a solid barber. First two were absolute disappointments. Well now I will look no more. Excellent service, stunning old fashioned interior, great haircut and for the best price I have seen. Seriously if you havent been here, its worth a try! You wont go anywhere else afterwards. (and shoutout to Adam, hope thats your name, thanks for the service man, absolute ace)

T. F.

What a fabulous place! First time back in town for 35 years.. needed a trim and beard shape. Excellent service, friendly, great conversation, and superb value for money. I may have to come back!!!

R. T.

A barber shop with friendly, skilled gents who are guaranteed to give you a haircut you love by the time you leave! Service is top-notch and don't be surprised if they offer you a drink, and the prices are spot-on for the quality of what you're getting.

S. B.

First visit after the first lockdown and my experience was excellent. The covid measures in place all made me feel safe and obviously it was nice to get a proper haircut again!

R. B.

Really good cut and so quick! Was in and out in about 20 mins. Allan is such a nice fella, all the best to the lads who work here it’s always a pleasure

J. B.

Spent ages looking for a decent barbers when I moved to Newcastle. Glad I finally found this one - always a really good cut

P. T.

Needed a haircut and saw this spot, guys there are really cool. Level of service, price and quality of the work are all stunning. If I didn't live so far away I would go back again.

H. Y. T.

Very friendly and excellent barber.

G. Y.

This is not a Barbers, this is an institution and part of the Fabric of the City. The barbers them selves have been there since 1895 and don't look a day over 30, must be the black& white wax that keeps them looking so young! You must go for a proper gentleman's haircut.

V. B.

Best hair cut I have had. Very reasonable price. Skilled barbers and good atmosphere. Will have to travel to Newcastle to get my hair cut now.

S.

Have to say, I struck it lucky with George Scott being the first barbers I tried after moving back to the North East. Fantastic, traditional old-style barbers shop with a long history in Newcastle. Good cut and great craic with Alan, plus the appointment system means you're not queuing for ages. Will definitely be back. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻💈✂️ …

K. J.

Best barber shop in the North East. It's like stepping back in time, the big mirrors, the old phone, the cut throat razors. The only place that I know that still does a singe! Top class!

P. L.

Went for my hair cut there today. Had a little bit of a wait but it was worth it. Blokes done a top job and cut me beard properly as well. Won't be going to anyone else now. Found my new barber.

s. w.

Best barber 💈 in Newcastle,

s. r.

Best barbers in the toon. Used to get my flat tops done here in the 80's.

A. R.

Popped in while at a loose end and needing a haircut, no appointment needed, great time capsule of a place. Hair was cut as asked for, thorough without being over the top! Very pleased I went.

A. E.

This place is awesome and super friendly. Barber did a great job and gave me loads of vegan tips and local knowledge! Fully recommend.

D. R.

Very warm & welcoming, made to feel at home. And a good haircut at a very reasonable price. Highly recommended.

N.

I have been visiting George Scott's on and off for the past 20 years and have always experienced a great service. Ibsould recommend them to anyone. "Old fashioned" has been mentioned a few times in the previous reviews, stepping into George Scott's is like stepping back in time the shop is a time capsule it's self.

C. M.

Great atmosphere, love the vintage look of the place, and the barbers are just amazing, so helpful and respectful. I think I found my barber shop.

G. G.

Old fashioned barbershop, excellent work and really good at what they do. You can expect a queue whenever you are there but the service is quick and speedy

B. B.

s. m.

My Favorite Barbers been going here for years now, I always say two of the most dificult profesions to find are a good barber and a honest lawyer, still looking for the latter!

J. S.

Come for the haircuts, stay for the impromptu musical history lectures. The nicest haircut I've ever had for an almost criminally low price - go here or you're missing out.

L.

What a find! Nice place, centrally located with friendly and competent staff! Loved the suggestion for a new beard look. Highly recommend 👍 …

First rate gents barber. About as read as it gets. Went back for the first time since the 80's. I swear nothing had changed (except the faces).

T.

The staff are professionals. Hilarious atmosphere. Great group of guys that work here. Thanks for the great haircut.

L. R.

Great barbers and a reasonable price. Modern aesthetic but not pretentious like the other ones in town. Could be improved with card payments and an online booking system.

Scott’s is easily the best barber in Newcastle. The original Victorian interior is pretty amazing and you feel as though you really have stepped back in time - it has an authenticity which makes it completely unique. Staff are always friendly and professional and are highly skilled – they are craftsmen and it’s obvious that they really care about their work and making sure you are happy. Cuts are consistently great and prices are very reasonable. Don’t waste your time anywhere else.

J. S.

Not a local but top place to get a fresh trim/cut and also offered a alcholic drink whilst getting the mop choped 10 out of 10 place banta out of this world

M. G.

Had my hair cut by Sean. Excellent work. Great example of a gentleman's barber shop.

J. C.

Best barbers I've ever been to. Professional, friendly and helpful. Always good chat but nothing forced or awkward. Skin fades are the best and very consistent, care is always taken to make sure I'm satisfied. Won't break the bank either. Only suggestion is to perhaps get more seats and add a student discount option.

T. T.

First visit here today. Very friendly place with a good set of guys who really know what they're doing!

Fantastic traditional barbershop. It's like stepping back in time a hundred years ! Always get a fantastic cut off all the barbers all trained to a high standard. Reasonably priced for a city centre barber but do expect a wait at peak times.
