NYO Studios
NYO opened in 2021 under a founder who started out cutting hair from home, and he has trained several of the young barbers working here now. Men's cuts and fades make up most of the work, though women come in for cuts and blow-dries too. Conversation is part of the cut here, and it rarely stops.
Come here if
- You want a clean fade, maybe with a design shaved in
- You're not sure what cut suits you and want a suggestion
Maybe not if
- You can't manage a flight of stairs

What people say
They explain what they are doing
The first few minutes go on questions about how you wear your hair and which cut would suit your face.
At the end he walks you through styling it at home, down to which clay or wax he used.
You get what you asked for
Hand over a picture of the cut you want and the barber works to match it, fade included.
Some have left the pattern shaved into the back of the head up to the barber, and liked what he chose.
The small extras
The cut comes with a hair wash and a head massage, and some people have booked the wash and blow-dry on its own.
You'll be handed a free drink while you wait.
The room
The waiting area has sofas, a TV and a games console, so a friend who tags along has something to do.
Bringing a child
Parents bring young sons here, and the barbers keep them calm and still for a proper cut.
