About Mr Tilly's

It positions itself at the high end of male grooming, combining modern styling with traditional craft, and the team bring decades of combined experience to skin fades, scissor work, beard sculpting and old-school hot towel wet shaves.

The shop holds an exceptional near-five-star reputation across well over a thousand reviews, with customers highlighting the relaxed atmosphere and the barbers' willingness to listen and deliver exactly what is asked. Appointments are booked online or by phone, which is advisable given how busy the chairs get. It is a strong choice for anyone wanting a considered, bespoke cut or a proper traditional shave in a polished city-centre setting.
