Great haircut for me and my boy for his school photo. No problem booking. Good communication with plenty of reminders which is needed in my case. Very professional, friendly enviroment,
Sean took his time with both haircuts and throughout made sure was happy with finished product.

I phoned on the off chance that there was an appointment available at the earliest convenience and was offered an appointment 15 minutes later. My stylist Sean was very good and I commented that it felt like the best cut I have ever had. Thanks for a great service and very grateful for the appointment at such short notice.

Salon was clean and only one other customer at the time I arrived. I was made to put a mask and apron on straight away and it was clear salon took hygiene and Covid regulations seriously.

Stylist Sean was friendly throughout and gave me an excellent haircut and I will definately be coming back as a regular customer.

I went to Ahead for him birkenhead shop for the first time today. After having my hair ruined by another shop in town, I decided to give this place a try as I hear good things about this chain of salons. George was friendly, welcoming and was very attentive to ensure I was happy with the cut. This is important as some barbers just cut away without asking etc.

I am pleased with my visit and I will definitely return again. Thanks

After leaving Voodou in Liverpool I saw that this salon was one of the best on the Wirral and it did not disappoint. I think George had given me the best haircut I have had in years and he was a nice chap. Will definitely be coming back and recommending to friends who have also left Voodou.
