Experienced my first haircut at Teds Bloomsbury. Arin, the barber who cut my hair was excellent: professional, polite, friendly and very thorough. Best haircut I’ve had for a long time -just wish I lived in London but will definitely visit again when I’m next there. Thank you.

Pure heavenly perfection

Second visit today for the VIP package at the salon in Mortimer Street, London. From an expert haircut, hot wax treatment, wet shave, beard trim and a sublime scalp massage the hour spent with Badr is one of the highlights of my month.

It’s a great atmosphere, drinks aplenty and a place that enables you just to switch off and be groomed to perfection. I cannot recommend this place highly enough.

Absolute cretins - Please Avoid

Absolute cretins. I had a very long beard and the clown made it super short, awful fade barely existent. Looks more like a goatee. Went home and had a shave. Avoid!

Exceptional


I recently had the pleasure of getting a skin fade haircut by Ali at Covent Garden, and it was an outstanding experience from start to finish. The attention to detail Ali demonstrated was truly incredible, resulting in the best skin fade I have ever had. Every step of the process was meticulously executed, showcasing his exceptional skill and precision.

Avoid at all costs- terrible experience!!

I went to Teds grooming at 83 Mortimer St. My family had bought me a Father’s Day gift.

Can’t tell you how awful both the customer service and the quality of the experience was.

Family had purchased the VIP package
(The cut-smith)
1: no welcome on arrival
2: no consultation. Expert barber… absolute joke. Unable to offer any kind of consultation
3: no top shelf spirit or soft drink. Only water offered
2: limited English spoken by barber who was in charge of my experience
3: no beard trim
4: declined any of the other services as lack of confidence in the capability of the chap who was across me

You really do roll the dice with the different franchisees. Sure had I gone to a different branch the service and English language skills would have been better. Everyone talking in Turkish all the time which makes customers feel like they are being dissed and talked about. Sneaky giggling by immature young punks who only know how to use a clipper and can barely fade a customer

Don’t waste your money on these zone 1 rip off merchants. Better off spending you money on a cab to Palmers Green and getting the real authentic Turkish experience for half the price. AVOID!!

Has put me off anything Ted Baker for life!! The firm deserves to go under

Poor haircut and service

I went to the Berrick Street Branch, it wasn’t a great experience. The whole thing reminded me of going to a local barber where I live (zone 4) in London any pay £14.
Terrible value for money.
I told the guy what I wanted and then said that I have a picture of the style I want, I tired to show it to him but he wasn’t interested! He said he didn’t need to see it as I verbally told him - I was shocked. He wasn’t very chatting or engaging.
I wasn’t offered a drink when other people around me were.
I wasn’t offered the ear flaming service.
I am now left with a haircut I don’t like, I clearly said that I want the front longer and then getting shorter towards the crown of my head, but now it’s the opposite of that.

Adequate haircut, nothing more, very overpriced

I had my hair cut by Ali at the Regent Street branch. I went for The Cut-Smith package, and to be honest I felt short changed. The “consultation with Ted’s expert barber, followed by a bespoke haircut to your precise requirements” was the same 1 minute chat you get with a run of the mill barber at your local barber shop. As for “precise requirements”, Ali was pretty uncommunicative, and didn’t ask any clarifying questions or any detail beyond “what do you want done”. I ended up with a very average, generic haircut that I could get anywhere. The “exfoliating face wash and scrub” was a 30 second rub with some cleansing gel, there was no exfoliation done at all. The “arms and shoulders massage” didn’t include the shoulders, and the arms were a very token, weak effort.

As for general customer service, it was amongst the worst I’ve had. Ali didn’t really seem engaged or to care about what he was doing - he seemed more interested in the female member of staff working next to me. He forgot that he’d already done the ear-flaming and asked this again, which really sums up the level of care and attention.

Overall very disappointed with the service, not worth the money in my opinion as I’ve had better haircuts and service for half the price.

I had a haircut 2 days ago at the Berwick Street Branch. I had high expectations knowing that it is a relatively expensive place in the heart of Soho.
I had shown the picture to the hairdresser the way i wanted to have my haircut.
The guy had made a horrible haircut, he saved the side of my head with zero, went up high at the back also. No blending whatsoever, looks like a cheap gangster style. I came in wearing a nice blazer, very elegant look. The Barber cleary has no sense on identifying the profile of the client and what they want. So I what i got is a Military haircut for 45£ plus i gave him some tip…. I know the name of the barber also but i will not put him into shame here but will never return to this place.

I have been going to various outlets since they started so clearly to an extent satisfied. I've nothing on top so go for a zero and beard trim. My issue is the care and attention that was standard x years ago which made the difference between paying £10 any old where is gone. A wet shave around the neck used to be standard. Now mostly it's a machine. I don't care which is a closer shave it's about the experience. And the massages! Seriously just leave it out. Disinterested caressing of an arm is more creepy than relaxing.
