Award-Winning Men's Hairdressing and Expert Colour
Hairdresser or Barber?
People often ask whether they should visit a barber or a hairdresser.
The answer depends on the what you are looking for.
Hairdressers receive extensive training across every aspect of hair design including cutting and colour we study and learn all hair types, textures and lengths while developing an understanding of face shape, head shape, body proportions, natural hair movement, growth patterns and how to create balance and harmony through hair. Additional services are also offered to acheive an overall look including, perming, smoothing and treating damaged or unruley hair.
Every consultation begins with understanding the person, not just the hairstyle.
From classic gentleman's cuts to modern textured crops, longer layered styles, precision fades and contemporary fashion-led looks, our team combines creativity with technical excellence to deliver haircuts that are individually designed.
Although Brooks is widely recognised as a leading ladies' salon, many people are surprised to discover that we also have an extensive and loyal male clientele. Every week we welcome men of all ages who trust our stylists to create haircuts and colour that suit their lifestyle, personality and individual features.
We have proudly won British Men's Hairdresser of the Year on three separate occasions, demonstrating our long-standing reputation as one of the UK's leading salons for men's hairdressing.
Experience the Brooks Difference
Men's Hair Colour Isn't Just About Covering Grey
Today's male clients are increasingly embracing colour as part of their overall look.
At Brooks, we offer everything from subtle grey blending that softens the appearance of white hair, through to natural colour enhancements that add depth and shine, right up to bold, creative colour for those wanting to make a statement.
Colour can make hair appear thicker, enhance texture, complement skin tone and give a haircut even greater definition.
Charlotte Illi's place in the British Men's Hairdresser of the Year 2026 finals is a wonderful celebration of the talent within our team, and another proud milestone in Brooks' history of excellence in men's hairdressing.
If you've always thought of Brooks as "just a ladies' salon", we invite you to think again.
