Newington is certainly not short of hairdressers. There are a number of salons, particularly along the main thoroughfare of South Clerk Street / Clerk Street / Nicholson Street. There are a few barbers dotted around, and Bailey's Barber Shop is, in my opinion, a cut above the rest.\n\nI first discovered Bailey's in the first year of my degree, while I was living in the Newington area of town. They quickly established themselves as my barber of choice. There was rarely a wait for a haircut, and I often went by on my way into lectures. The barbers themselves were chatty, and always gave me the haircut that I wanted. This, combined with the ideal location, meant that I continued to come back here for the first couple of years of my degree before I moved to the other side of town.\n\nPrices are reasonable, with a student discount available. For someone like me, whose hair grows at a fair rate, using a salon would not be cost-effective. Bailey's Barber Shop provided me with a great haircut each time, and I would highly recommend them.
