Anyone in the shop can cut anything. These are what they are known for.

03 / The chairs

Who is in the chair.

Four barbers, four chairs, no rota roulette. Book the one you got on with last time.

  • Marek shaping the back of a client's head with clippers

    Chair 01

    Marek Sowa

    Skin fades and clipper work

    Nine years, four of them here. Will tell you honestly if the photo you brought will not sit on your hairline.

  • Dele cutting over a comb with scissors

    Chair 02

    Dele Bankole

    Scissor cuts and restyles

    Trained in Leeds, opened Quarter in 2021. Takes the restyle appointments because he likes the arguing.

  • Priya cutting a client's hair with scissors

    Chair 03

    Priya Basra

    Curl and texture

    Cuts curls dry, which is why her slots are the ones that go first. Ask her about products and set aside a minute.

  • Callum at work at the mirror in the shop

    Chair 04

    Callum Reith

    Beards and the straight razor

    Does the hot towel work and most of the Saturday mornings. Quietest chair in the shop, by request.

04 / The room

One room, four chairs, good light.

The ground floor of the old bottling works, kept deliberately plain. No queue bench, because nobody should be waiting.

The Quarter shop floor, brick walls and barber chairs in a row
Lime Street, half past four on a Thursday.
A row of mirrors and stations down the length of the shop
Four stations, one down each wall, so nobody is cutting into anyone else's elbow.
Clippers being run through a client's hair, close up
Clippers serviced every Monday, which is the real reason we shut.
