I had my haircut by Alexander Dunn in the Crate Academy and it’s was amazing. Really hard to think it wasn’t done by a seasoned professional. Really listened to what I wanted and with great feedback from him we made a plan and he executed exactly what I wanted with great confidence. He really understood straight away and put me at ease with great insight. Really would recommend Alexander he was a lovely bloke and really oozed experienced as someone in the academy. 10/10. Would recommend both Alexander and Crate. The place was very clean and was offered a drink and if I needed anything multiple times. Great place 💪🏼

Ashton did both my boys hair, had a lovely rapport with him and felt so at ease, the cuts were amazing and fades just beautiful, best cuts they've had ever.
