Traditional barbering · Kirkgate, Leeds
Skin fades, classic cuts, beard work and hot towel shaves — done right, at honest prices. No apps, no fuss: walk in, sit down, walk out sharp.
The shop
The Gentry is a traditional barber's on Kirkgate, in the heart of Leeds. Three chairs, proper tools, and barbers who take the time to get it right — whether that's a seamless skin fade or a straight-razor shave your grandad would approve of.
No rushed conveyor belt, no £40 haircuts. Just a good cut, a fair price, and a bit of crack in the chair.
Price list
Every cut is finished with a razor-sharp edge-up and styled before you leave.
