Getting a child's haircut right takes patience, skill and genuine experience. Not every barber has all three. At Georges Barbers on Chesham Road in Amersham, the team have been cutting children's hair for over 34 years, and in that time they have learned that the experience matters just as much as the result. A calm child in the chair makes everything easier. A relaxed parent makes the whole visit better. Getting both right is something that only comes with time.
From the moment a younger client walks through the door at Georges, the atmosphere is calm, friendly and completely relaxed. No clinical environment, no rushing through appointments and no unnecessary stress for parents or children. Just a traditional family barbershop that has been part of the Amersham community since 1991.

After more than three decades of cutting children's hair, the barbers at Georges have seen every scenario and know how to handle all of them calmly and professionally.
