Adam James Mens Grooming 195 High Road, Loughton IG10 4LF

"Adam James has been cutting my hair for over ten years now. He does a first rate job, provides good styling advice and sells a range of excellent and reasonably priced hair products (but isn't pushy about this at all). I would recommend him to anyone who is looking for a great haircut in a relaxed atmosphere."

"I have always struggled with styling my own hair and knowing what’s best, I said this to Adam, before we started, Adam sat me down and told me where I was going wrong and what he could do to improve my look and suggested what to do. It has been 4 weeks since and my hair looks 10 times better and grown out much better. Well worth the price, best barbers iv been to yet"

"Excellent hairdresser. Been going to Adam’s for 18 years. Would only change hairdresser if forced to. Great place to relax while you get your hair cut. Great music oscillating between hip hop, jazz, reggae, dub and house."

"I’ve had my haircut by Adam James ever since he opened his first shop in Queens Road Buckhurst Hill in about 1997. He has always give me an exceptional cut. He never uses electric trimmers, he’s all about scissor over comb. A true artisan and an exceptional craftsman. He takes huge pride in his work and it shows. His shop had always been more than a place to get a haircut. It’s a destination. The atmosphere is understated cool and always with great sounds playing. He’s one of life’s energetic, funny, considerate, erudite people. Conversations take unexpected turns and are always an utter delight! Something I always look forward to. I’m summary, I got a terrific haircut, great chat and a lovely place to get it done in. There’s nothing but to like. Best of luck in the new location on Loughton High Road. Even better than y to her old place."

"My first appointment was yesterday for a long overdue haircut, and since I couldn't travel to my regular, decided to visit Adam James. James is obviously very passionate about his craft and it shows in the way he handles himself towards his clients, he takes an active role in making sure whoever sits in the chair is comfortable and will offer his opinion of what will and will most likely not work for the look you are going for. It was refreshing to see the personal attention James gives to everyone that comes in, especially in an industry that has become over saturated in recent years with haircutters becoming more corporate-orientated and wanting to get as many people in and out of the chair as possible. I will definitely be returning for my next, most likely, long overdue haircut."
