In the chair

Cuts, shaves & grooming

Everything a proper barbershop should do, done by a City & Guilds qualified barber. Whatever you're after, just ask when you're in the chair.

Skin Fade

Blended down to the skin and finished clean, from a low taper to a high fade, however sharp you want it.

Scissor Cut

A full scissor cut and restyle, shaped to your hair and how you like to wear it.

Short Back & Sides

The classic. Tidied up the sides and back, neat on top, in and out looking sharp.

Beard Trim

Beard shaped, lined up and trimmed to length, with the neck and cheeks cleaned up.

Hot Towel Shave

A traditional wet shave with a hot towel and close razor finish, the proper way to shave.

Kids' Haircuts

Cuts and skin fades for under-12s, with a chair that keeps the little ones happy.

Face Mask & Threading

A cleansing face mask, plus eyebrow and facial threading and nose waxing to finish.

Head, Arm & Neck Massage

A relaxing head, arm and neck massage to round the visit off. Sit back and unwind.

Men's Hand & Nail Care

Hands and nails tidied and cared for, a small extra that makes a difference.

The shop

A proper barbershop on Henriques Street

Gentleman's Barber is a traditional men's barber tucked just off Commercial Road in Whitechapel. Exposed brick, classic leather chairs and mirrors, and a barber who takes the time to get the cut right.

Run by Ali, a City & Guilds qualified barber, it's the kind of shop where regulars get a brew while they wait and the banter is as good as the fade. Skin fades, scissor cuts, beard work and a proper hot towel shave, seven days a week.
