About
A Hackney shop, since 2016
Crew Cuts sits at number 65 on Mare Street, behind the gold lettering. It has been the same shop, in the same spot, doing the same job since it opened.
Walk in. Stand out.
The shop opened in 2016 and has been cutting for the same street ever since. Skin fades and tapers are the daily work, but the wet shave and the hot towel are what people come back for — the parts of barbering that a chain cannot be bothered with.
Inside there are brick walls, slatted timber, proper reclining chairs and a clock that everyone checks. The queue moves. Kids are welcome, and there is a kolonya on the counter for after a shave.
Over 209 people have left a review, and the average sits at 4.8 out of 5. That is the only credential worth quoting.

How the shop runs
Four things we do not bend on
Walk in, don't wait around
There is no booking system to wrestle with. Turn up, take a seat, and the queue moves quicker than it looks.
Traditional where it counts
Cut-throat razors, hot towels and a cologne finish. The old parts of barbering are the parts worth keeping.
Priced for the neighbourhood
This is a local shop on a local high street. Fair prices, no upsell, and kids are always welcome.
