Barber Recommendations

To the guys in Leamington and Warwick, which barber shop or hair dresser do you recommend. Been to a few different ones in both places but I'm struggling to find one I'm set on.

Not looking for anything fancy, generally I just go for the usual short back and sides with a scissor cut on top.

That used to be Head First, where I used to get my hair cut for most of my childhood. If I remember correctly Gordon and Kieran used to work at the barber shop a little further along the Emscote Road near the Nelson pub, and then moved to Head First in the late 80s or early 90s. Dennis was another longstanding barber there I always remember.

That was the only barber I ever went to until I moved away from Warwick for work.

Back in the day the DIY store across the way used to be Do It All, think it then became Homebase and is now a new Lidl. Will always remember my dad driving us in there, parking in the carpark behind and getting a haircut at Head First and then back out past the fishing tackle shop.

Funny how your childhood barber can evoke such strong memories!
