This is the first in a strand of Brixton tips, collected by Brixton Blog through Twitter and word of mouth, plus a couple of my own.
This week, we find out where men should go to get a cheap haircut:
Peter’s Barber Shop, 205 Stockwell Rd – “Peter’s barber to the left of the Brixton Academy is about the best I’ve found in Brixton”, says @VassallView. @Jason_Cobb is another happy customer – “Pete the Greek underneath the Academy is yer man” – and @paulygill uses Peter, although he “used to go to Andy opp Carpetright for flat-tops aged 15, but that was 25 years ago. He’s still there.”
NAS Barber Shop, 97 Brixton Hill – This is @siamakamini‘s tip. “Nas on Brixton Hill is friendly and cheap if looking for something not geared towards African/caribbean hair”.
Van Hairdressing, 38 New Park Rd – @Gert‘s partner and stepsons all go here.
Andy’s Gents’ Barbers, Tulse Hill Rd, opposite Carpetright – recommended by @mr_richie
Cut & Co., 110 Clapham High Street
