Who is the best barber in Mortlake?
4 min read
Quick answer
Mortlake is a small area, so the honest answer is that there are only a handful of options on and around Lower Richmond Road. Hector's is the one with award-winning men's cutting and specialist textured and afro hair experience. For a quick walk-in trim, a traditional barber may suit you better.
I've just moved to Mortlake. Who's the best barber round here?
Welcome. Mortlake is small so this is a short list rather than a long one, and the honest answer depends on what you want. For a quick tidy with no appointment, a traditional walk-in barber does that job well and quickly. For a cut with a consultation behind it, texture work, or anything beyond a standard short back and sides, that is where we come in.
What makes you different from a normal barber shop?
We are a full salon with men's specialists rather than a barbershop, and that shows up in the type of work. Fades, tapers and modern mullets we do all week. But we also cut afro and mixed-texture men's hair properly, handle colour on men's hair, and fit hair replacement units. Most barbershops do not offer those and there is no shame in that — it is a different trade.
Is it more expensive?
A standard men's cut with us is 30 to 45 minutes and priced accordingly. A fade with a full reshape or a first mullet is closer to an hour because the consultation and finish take real time. Current prices are on our booking page. If price is the deciding factor and you want a straightforward trim, a walk-in barber will be cheaper and that is a perfectly sensible choice.
How long have you been in Mortlake?
Since February 2003, at 73 Lower Richmond Road. Same road, same building, over twenty years. A lot of our Mortlake clients have been coming the whole time and several now bring their sons. We are a multi-award-winning salon and the awards are listed on our awards page if you want to check.
OK. What should I book for a first visit?
Just a men's cut, and tell us at the start how you style it at home and how often you can get back in. Those two answers shape the cut more than a reference photo does. Book online and if you want something specific like a fade height or a mullet, put it in the notes so we allow the time.
