Find a professional local barber in East London

Finding a barber is easy enough if you’re willing to go to a shop, wait in line for half an hour, then make the journey to your next errand, go back home, and finally head to that cool party in the City. It’s not a hassle if you’re not that particular about your crowning glory, and any stylist who can give a decent trim will do.

But, if you’re from the fashionable, cultural hub that is East London, just “any old barber” won’t do! You need only the best for your hair type as well as your personal style. Bonus points if you don’t even need to leave the neighbourhood (or the house!) to get your haircut. And the great news is that you can get a barber with all these traits by going to Airtasker.

What’s unique about this platform is that instead of asking friends for their recommended barbershops and stylists, all you need to do is fill out a request, wait for barbers nearby to send their offers, and read unbiased reviews from their previous customers. 

Another great reason to book through Airtasker is that you have the option to customise your request as much as you like. If mobility is an issue for you, you can specify that you want the barber to go to your location. If you want a Turkish or black barber, you can ask for one, too. You can even request a stylist who knows how to cut Afro or curly hair! 

Lastly, Airtasker lets you set your own price. Not something you’d find at every barbershop, even one you’ve been going to for years! Of course, you’ll still have to wait for the potential barbers to send their quotes, but at least you’ll easily get several options that are close to your budget! 

Now that you know why you should book an East London barber through Airtasker, it’s time to learn how to do it. 

First, select “Post a task” and fill out the details in the form. These include your location, budget, desired appointment date and time, and any special requests you may have (e.g. kids barber, Afro barber, curly hair barber). You can also include if you want to go to their shop, or if you prefer a home appointment. 

Once you’re happy with your task post, tap “Get quotes.” In a couple of minutes, offers will flood your screen! Go through each one, checking the price, customer ratings, and reviews. Then, it’s just a matter of choosing the barber you like best! And just like that, you’ve booked an East London-based barber near you.

This entire process should take only a couple of minutes, so if you’re in a rush, no worries - our barbers got your back! Before you know it, you’ll be seated in a comfy chair and giving your hair the styling it deserves! 

Once you’re done with your haircut, you may want a Tasker to help you out with the rest of your weekend chores or party-related errands. You can have a personal shopper do your groceries, ask a handyman to tend to that repair you’ve been putting off for weeks, or have a tailor alter your suit in time for that upcoming wedding! With the help of all these Taskers near you, you can finally find some time to go vintage shopping at Brick Lane or enjoy a meal at the St. Katharine Docks Marina.
