Proper barbering, no appointment anxiety.
A two chair shop in Sydenham. The cut takes as long as the cut takes, and nobody gets talked into a beard trim they did not come in for.
The shop
Dane opened Halloran after nine years on other people’s floors, on the theory that a barbershop should be somewhere you actually want to sit for half an hour.
If you know exactly what you want, say so and it gets done. If you have no idea, that is fine too. You will get told what will actually work with the hair you have, rather than what looked good on someone else.
Walk in if you like and we will fit you in when there is a gap. Book and the chair is yours.

Book the chair, not the queue
Pick your barber and your time, at whatever hour suits. Confirmation lands straight away and you get a reminder the morning of, so the chair is actually yours when you turn up.
For anyone weighing this up

The booking system here is the real thing. Book yourself a chair and the confirmation email arrives within seconds, with a link to cancel it again.
The half nobody gets shown is the shop’s own. This is where a barber runs the day: bookings as they land, walk-ins added by hand, cancellations, and days blocked out. Have a look around, it is all made up data.

The barbers
Dane Halloran
Owner
Nine years barbering. Skin fades, scissor work, beards and hot towel shaves. If you want something changed, tell him. He would rather hear it in the chair than read it later.
Mikey Tuiono
Barber
Fades, clipper work and kids cuts. Fastest hands in the shop, and the one to book if you are bringing a nervous six year old.
First barber in years who asked what I actually wanted instead of just doing the same fade on everyone. Been going back every six weeks since.
Took my boy in for his first proper haircut and Mikey was brilliant with him. No fuss, done in fifteen minutes, kid was rapt.
Booked on my phone at midnight for the next morning. Turned up, chair was ready, out in half an hour. That is all I want from a barber.
