FAQs
Quick answers about bookings, pricing, location & what to expect at YFB HQ Barbershop in York (YO1).
Do I need to book an appointment or do you take walk-ins?
We recommend booking ahead to lock in your barber + time. Walk-ins are welcome when there’s availability, but Fridays and weekends book up fast.
How much is a haircut at YFB HQ?
Pricing depends on the barber and service selected (skin fades, tapers, scissor work, beard trims and line-ups). You’ll see the full price list during online booking.
Do you offer student discounts?
YFB HQ is a small, family-owned barbershop — and we love working closely with student societies. We also extend exclusive discounts to selected local university sports teams.
Throughout the year we occasionally run student promos, live DJ events, giveaways and limited-time student discounts. Best way to catch them? Keep an eye on our socials.
Do you cut children’s hair?
Yes — we cut all ages. Our barbers are experienced with younger clients, and we understand how important a first barbershop experience can be.
Please note: we don’t have separate “kids cut” pricing. Children are charged at the normal service rate, because kids’ appointments can take longer and often need extra patience and attention to get the cut right.
Do you do beard trims and shape-ups?
Yes — we offer beard trims, reshaping, line-ups and clean finishing work to keep it sharp.
What payment methods do you accept?
We accept cash, card (including Apple Pay), and bank transfer whenever possible.
What are your opening hours?
Our hours can vary slightly depending on bookings and barber availability. Check the latest times below for the most accurate info.
