Where to go for a 'cool' haircut for my teenage son?

[sillywoman]

As the title says really. He's wanting his (beautiful, sniff sniff) long hair cut and as it's about 3 or 4 years since he last went to a hairdressers we're unsure where to go. He'd like a faux-hawk style. Any recommendations from forumites please?

Blue tit by Pedler I think are pretty cool (not that I would fit in the cool category) but the people I have seen working there could def be described as such. x

I love Toni & Guy for really amazing cuts and colour, but they are rather expensive. He could get a free cut from the Toni & Guy Academy.

How long is his hair? He might be able to donate it for children's wigs (Little Princess Trust, or similar). They usually require 10 to 12 inches braided. xx

Cut Throat in Peckham - a Contemporary Barbers and Salon. David, who used to work at the Galleon and Wills B now works there doing both women and men's hair. Very cool and hip! Right next to Cafe Viva as well so you can have a coffee and cake while he get's his cut done!

Ohh, now, coffee & cake are sounding good - will check out Cut Throat, Thanks CoachBeth.

Not sure I can run to Toni & guy prices for him Saff, though agree they always come up trumps. His hair is long but not long enough I think - it's just past his shoulders.

Never heard of Blue Tit (or Pedlers come to that) - I must get out more! I'll google them & see where it is, prices etc.etc. - check them out.

Thanks team ;)

We go to the Barbers in Dulwich Village - my son always has a great haircut there - he thinks they are cool

Other option would be Rose and Crown in Camberwell - just down from Kings on the Main road. Lots of men have haircuts there when I'm in. Love Walk caf? is opposite for coffee whilst you wait.

Thanks everyone for your suggestions.

The Groom Room in DV did it in the end. I paid a bit extra (it being DV an' all) but he got a very good, very cool cut that he's delighted with - so it was worth it to me.

Thanks wonderful family-roomers

Mems is good up by the Plough & cheaper than Groom Room I think.

Mems has a very manly feel to it. They have bottles of bourbon and brandy near the leather sofas... Always tempted to crack into them when my son is getting his hair cut!! Blue tit is tres cool looking from the outside. I wasn't very cool when I walked in and asked for a coffee when they first opened (it looks like a trendy cafe from the outside!)
