Inside Baba Yaro Barbers on Church Gate, with barbers cutting at two chairs.

40 Church Gate, Leicester

We cut what you asked for.

Skin fades, classic cuts, beard work and colouring, seven days a week. Book ahead and you're seen first — or walk in and take your turn.

Booking or walking in

Booked customers are seen first.

Booking costs a few pounds more than walking in, and this is what the difference buys: your slot is held, and you're seen ahead of anyone waiting. Walk in and you're welcome any time we're open — you'll be seen once the booked appointments are done.

Booked — from £15

Your slot is held for you

Pick your barber and your time. You're seen ahead of walk-ins, and you'll get a reminder before you're due in.

Walk-in — from £12

Come in and take your turn

A few pounds cheaper, no need to arrange anything. How long you wait depends on how many appointments are booked in.

Before you come in

Common questions

Have you got space today?

Almost always — we're open seven days and we take walk-ins whenever we're open. How long you wait depends on how many appointments are booked in, because booked customers are seen first. If you'd rather not wait, book a slot and we'll hold it for you — any day except Wednesday and Sunday, which are walk-in only.

Why does booking cost more than walking in?

Because it holds the chair for you. A booked slot is yours, you pick your barber and your time, and you're seen ahead of anyone waiting. Walking in is a few pounds cheaper, and you take your turn once the booked appointments are done.

Can I book on a Wednesday or a Sunday?

No — those two days are walk-in only. We're still open as normal, 10 till 7 on Wednesday and 1 till 5 on Sunday, so just come in and take your turn. Every other day you can book ahead.

Can I choose which barber cuts my hair?

Yes. There are seven of us — Barry, Tansi, AY, Sosa, Emmanuel, Mitchel Casimir and AD — and every one of us does every service on the list, so it's down to who you get on with and who's in.

Do you cut children's hair?

Yes. A kids' cut is £20 booked or £15 walking in, and takes about 45 minutes.

Do you do colouring?

Yes, for men and women. Colouring on its own is £40 and takes about an hour; a cut and colour together is £60 and takes about two hours. For either one, give us a ring or send a WhatsApp rather than using the online calendar — that way we can set aside the right amount of time for you.
