I sometimes get the feeling that im the only girl in town who visits Mr Toppers, but then maybe the fact that Mr is in title probably leads most to believe that its male only. In fact its unisex and a great place to get a hair cut for 6 pound.

Ive been having my hair trimmed here for a couple of years and although there is often a queue you don’t normally need to wait more then quarter of an hour before your seen.

Located just off Compton Street Mr Toppers is mainly staffed by pretty young Australian who like nothing better then a good chit chat. Although don’t get too comfortable, for 6 pound your hair cut is not likely to last more then ten minutes.

Obviously for if your after highlights and a blow dry then your not going to get it here, so stick to Tony & Guys. If however, you’re a girl after a quick cut with not too much fuss then Mr Toppers is perfect. If your guy, then you will probably be able to get most kinds of cuts here.

Why spend hours and a fortune on your haircut and leave the salon in a state of intoxication from cosmetic fumes, when you can get a quick, professional job in a healthier environment and at a budget price? This is what I discovered a few years ago when a friend recommended Mr Topper’s Soho shop, perfect for when I need a last-minute job between an appointment and the next. For someone like me, who works in central London and hops from an appointment to the next, timing and location are perfect, and I can get a dry cut for a mere £6! On Fridays and Saturdays, as you can imagine, the queue extends outside the shop but don’t be put off, as it actually moves very fast. Mr Topper’s have branches all over central London. Recently I’ve tried one nearer home, in Camden Town – quieter (better music too) but the service is just as professional. How do they manage to avoid the nasty smells? They don’t do dyes or perms, that’s how. So if you require more than a cut, with or without shampoo, you’d better go elsewhere and brave the consequences.
