I'd second GK Barbers. They do a good (and speedy) cut on my 3 year old and are very reasonablly priced. I did go to Little Clippers a couple of times and the cuts were ok, but I think you pay a premium for the added extras which I haven't found we've really needed.

I love GK Barbers but since the lady left the chap (French I think?) doesn't cut little girls hair very well. He had admitted to me that he doesn't cut girls' hair well and is better with boys. He cuts my 5 year old boy's hair brilliantly and we always go back to him. My daughter, on the other hand, has had some very dubious cuts from him so I am now looking for a hairdresser for a little girls.


I have tried Little Clipper but find the staff mostly rude and the cuts not of great quality and the price very high.


Recommendations anyone? Thx

I can recommend Stevie Thomas, mobile hairdresser who did mine and my toddler's hair at home. She is really reasonably priced (?20 for both of us - a wet cut for me) and was very good with my little boy - I wasn't sure how it would go as it was his first haircut, but I think seeing mummy having it done first and being at home definitely helped. Here's a link to her ad:

Took my twins for their first hair cut to GK Barbers in Melbourne Grove today so thank you for the recommendations and I agree with all the positive comments.


Ahmed was brilliant. Knew all the distraction techniques including a big tv with cbeebies on and did a quick, neat job at a very reasonable price (?8 a child).


We were just a walk in and he says Sundays it's normally possible to do that rather than book.

And we've used Dulwich Barbers for a rowdy 19 month old. Only place that actually managed to do it, very patient and with a smile on her face. All for ?8.

This experience was way better than little clippers that only did half his head, moaned constantly about it and still still charged me ?10.

    • DKH was two form entry, it is now one form entry to cope with the fact it was far more under subscribed than other schools in the area. They had actually combined year groups into single classes, 3/4 and 5/6.  When a school changes name, it’s usually because of a bad reputation perhaps the results.  The new name is dry with no history unlike its current name. It’s a very sketchy decision. It’s an expensive vanity project for someone.  What  will happen if the name change does not increase applications to the school?     
    • @first mate I assume Alice made a mistake, as she removed her reaction.  I was wondering about park wardens. As I said, there was one there last night, who was incredibly helpful and proactive. As well as bringing me to the police, he caught up with a young guy on a bike who'd earlier been the victim of an attempted theft by these kids and linked him up with the police too. But I do wonder, as I've only very occasionally seen him riding around, how many they have and what hours they patrol. I've no doubt they'd be a strong deterrent if they had a better presence. They were nowhere to be seen the first time around.  Update: I've just found this: https://services.southwark.gov.uk/community-safety/community-wardens The guy in the photo at the bottom of the page was the lovely warden of last night and I've just now remembered him telling me he's based in Burgess Park. Anyway, there needs to be more of them, as I rarely see one in Peckham.     
    • Some of us oldies would associate Grove with the old Grove Vale School (which I went to in the 1950s)
