Alfie's

Great service, wonderful attitude. the shop itself is quite cosy, situated in an alley near waverly station. family owned barbershop since a few decades now. i got a pretty good haircut. the staff is polite and i had great conversation with him as well. its moderately cheap and 10 bucks for students with such service is a steal. other shops around charge 8 bucks for students but their service doesn't even come close to these guys. worth checking out. would go again 10/10

This is the place to get a real haircut by a real barber who knows the craft of hairdressing. great value and great cut. as a tourist i had the added benefit of talking about edinburgh and the works of author ian rankin who immortalised the city in his rebus novels whilst having my hair cut.

Good at cutting my asian hair! £13 with a student discount! they are welcome to set up your hair with wax ! they accept both cash and cards! enjoy chatting with thn shop clerks! going there with specific photos of hair help them cut your hair easily!

Great skin fade, good price, good chat and pretty quick. also a calm oasis during the wildness of the fringe. would recommend.

Been going here for a while now, and will continue to do so. great prices for the area (including student and oap discounts). both the owner and his colleague are courteous and haven’t done a bad job yet. well-located for commuters. highly recommended.
