My fav barbers by far. They really listen to what you want and actually do it as requested. All staff v.friendly and accommodating. They offer drinks etc and make you feel v.welcome. Highly recommend!
Moorgate sits between two of the City’s busiest stretches of office space, and most searches for barbers moorgate come from somewhere in that gap: a meeting that finished early, a beard that got away from someone over a long week, twenty minutes before the next call. R.W. Wolf’s nearest chair is a short walk away, at our Liverpool Street shop on Blomfield Street. A consultation comes first, every time, and there’s nothing to book.
You won’t be handed a laminated menu and left to work it out. A consultation comes first: what you want, how your hair behaves, and what to ask for next time. If you only have a rough idea, that’s fine. That’s what the conversation is for.
Then the technique does the rest. A hot towel opens the pores and softens the beard before the blade touches anything, then the blade goes with the grain, then against it, then a cold towel closes everything down. That’s Turkish barbering, and it’s why the finish holds through a week of meetings, not just the walk back to the office.
Turkish barbering treats a haircut, a shave and the skin underneath as one job rather than three separate services bolted together. It’s part of why so many barbers trained this way work in the UK, the technique itself produces a different standard of finish, not just a different accent behind the chair.
At R.W. Wolf, that shows up in the sequence rather than in the sales pitch: the hot towel comes before the blade, not after, and the consultation decides the whole visit before a single cut is made.
R.W. Wolf has been named Wahl British Barber Shop of the Year, twice. That’s not the headline, though. The thing customers mention back most often, unprompted, is being asked what they want before anyone picks up a blade. It matters more than another line about heritage.
From Moorgate station, our Liverpool Street shop is a five to ten minute walk, past Finsbury Circus and up towards Old Broad Street. Coming from further round, near the Barbican or London Wall, it’s a flat walk the whole way. Nothing about the route needs a map twice.
A Hair Cut is £40. A Buzz Cut is £30. A Beard is £30, and Hair & Beard together is £65. Tame the Beast, the full package covering consultation, cut, beard shaping, waxing, threading and a finishing mask, is £80. Full price list.
Rated Wahl British Barber Shop of the Year. A Hair Cut is £40, the consultation is free, and nobody will ask you to book first. Walk in at 31-35 Blomfield Street, EC2M 7BD, any day of the week.

A five to ten minute walk to Blomfield Street, past Finsbury Circus.
Because it treats the cut, the beard and the skin as one job rather than three. The training behind it produces a genuinely different finish, hot towel before the blade, a cold towel to close, and a consultation that decides the whole visit first.
Not yet. The nearest chair is a short walk away at our Liverpool Street shop.
