Cheapest Barber in London?

Options
Hello,

I am curious if anyone knows any cheap Barbers in London.

My local in Finsbury Park had a flat rate of £4.50 for a dry cut, which was perfect, but now they upped it to £6.50.

Does anyone know any good barbers for £5 and under?

    how good are their cuts?

    Im paying £10 in North London. Not sure you will get under £5 unless you have a time machine :)

    Of course you can find cheaper, you just need to look. The Romily street one in Soho does it for £6.
    I am sure there are cheaper ones but they're off the beaten track and without a website and that's why I am asking here.
    Anyway I found a place that does them for free and have an appointment there tomorrow, but would be still good to know if anyone knows of places for under £5

    many of the training places do them for "free" if you want to give up your time.

    there was a place in Camden, near the bus stop opposite Sainsburys that was doing them for a similar price. I visited them in 2013.

    The quality of the cut is important

    ps £6 isnt under £5.

    I've used this training school in Shoreditch (equidistant between Old St underground and Shoreditch High St overground) for the last 18 months: http://www.freehaircuts.co.uk/

    Whilst an appointment often takes up to an hour, the quality is very good as the students are properly supervised and very motivated.

    That's where I've been going to the last few months. I work around the corner from there so I visit once a month. Very glad I discovered it :)
