It takes a lot to beat that contented, satisfied feeling of having the ol' barnet trimmed. A snip here, a trim there and you come out feeling and looking like a million quid. Of course, though getting the prerequisite short, back and sides represents the most important part of any trip to the barbers, the venue, vibe and atmosphere should never be underestimated either.  And with Shotgun Barbers in Clifton, they've cornered the market in not only consummately snipping the follicles but creating something which could arguably be described as the best barbering experience in town.
