Wingman Barber Shop 19 Christmas Street, Bristol BS1 5BT

"I’ve not been in Bristol long and was finding it hard to find a good barber. I’d had a couple of terrible cuts and was in need of rescue. So glad I gave wingman a go, within 2 cuts I’m back to having a hairstyle. First barber in the city that listened to what I wanted, explained what he was doing and do a really amazing job. I will be back every 3 weeks without fail!!"

"I've been coming here for a good couple of years now and I've always felt at ease, found the barbers easy to chat with and left with a fresh cut I was happy with. The owner, Alex, is very welcoming and is an expert in his field; always ready to offer some honest advice on the type of cut that you're after. It's walk-ins only so you may have to wait a bit, but usually no longer than half hour and that is on a rare occasion. I try to pre-empt this by going at a time I suspect is not going to be busy and often they're ready to go straight away. If you do have to wait, they've usually got some good magazines, something good on the TV, and a whole jukebox of classic arcade games to keep you busy. They might even give you a beer while you wait. The prices are very reasonable and they offer a loyalty card scheme so your 10th cut is free! I've made use of a couple while I've been there and it's always a bonus to walk away with a fresh trim and your wallet no lighter. The location is great, right at the bottom of Christmas Steps and looks out onto one of the main roads through the centre of Bristol. One memorable time, there was a climate change march that passed right outside the door led by none other than the yellow-macced wonder, Greta Thunberg. I remember we lost the other customer for 5 minutes while he tried to get a glimpse even though he was midway through his cut haha. Good times... I've left Bristol for a while now and hope that when I return, Wingman will still be there to get my hair trimmed, as I highly recommend. Cheers!"

"Just popped in on the off chance as was waiting for my brother to finish his chemo session. The young lady was very friendly and did a cracking job. I had a head shave and beard styled more than happy with the results. If I lived in Bristol I would use on a regular basis. Top notch."

"What a brilliant recommendation! HIGHLY Recommend! I've just moved to Bristol and needed a new Barber, had it mentioned that Wingman's did walk in's and were really amazing. Couldn't Arrived on my lunch break to be greeted by a really friendly Barber, Alex! He went above and beyond making me feel at ease, was really easy to talk to and you can tell he has a genuine passion for his craft! 10/10 Will be going again & they give loyalty discount!"

"A really fantastic barber shop, really good value for money, much better that the more expensive barber shops around Bristol I have found (I have tried out 5/6). Alex is a great owner and really looks after his customers and his shop and actually helped me change my hairstyle so that my hair was in much better quality. Really appreciate his honesty too. Great service. Very reasonable prices. Great location. I Highly recommend!"
