On Oxford Street East, Babylon’s Barbershop holds a perfect 5-star rating across more than 540 Google reviews, a remarkable record for a shop of its size.
It is a family business in the most literal sense: a father and son run the chairs together, combining years of experience with a more modern approach. They describe a shop built on trust, hard work and community values, and one where generations of the same families now come in for their cuts.
That shows in how the shop operates. It opens seven days a week, 9 AM to 7:30 PM Monday through Saturday and 10 AM to 4 PM on Sunday, which is wider availability than most independents manage. Prices are kept deliberately fair, and the shop leans on honest service and repeat custom rather than churn.
Core Services: Classic haircuts, fades, tapers, and beard trims.
Atmosphere: Family owned and locally rooted, welcoming and unpretentious, open seven days.
