Walk-in barber in Kennington: no appointment needed

Most people don't plan a haircut days ahead. You catch it in the mirror and want it sorted today. That is what a walk-in barber is for, and it is how Porsopher Barber on Kennington Road works: come in during opening hours and you are seen in turn.

When is the quietest time to walk in?
Barber shops tend to be busiest on Saturdays and in the hour or two after offices close. If you can come on a weekday morning or early afternoon, you are less likely to wait.
Prefer a set time? Book a morning slot
If your day only works with a fixed time, you can book online for Tuesday and Wednesday mornings between 9:30am and 11:30am. Every other time is walk-in.

What to tell your barber
A good cut starts with a clear brief. Three things help most:
- A photo. One picture of the cut you want is worth five minutes of description.
- How short on the sides. Say whether you want skin, a short clipper length or scissors only.
- How you style it. Tell us if you use product, part it or leave it to dry on its own.
