Hot-towel wet shave
A traditional hot-towel shave, close and comfortable, for a proper clean finish.
Kids' cuts & school trims

The shop
A proper local barbers on Hoxton Street
Cutt Throat is a family-run barbershop that's been part of Hoxton Street for years, the sort of place you can drop in for a fade, a beard tidy or the kids' school trim and know it'll be done right.
Inside it's white brick, warm wood and traditional chrome chairs, with the barbers who know their regulars by name. Take a seat, have a chat, walk out sharp.

Do you cut children's hair?
Yes, kids' cuts and school trims are a big part of what we do, and we're used to the little ones. Plenty of families bring the children in for their regular trim.
Do you do beards and hot-towel shaves?
We do, beard trims and line-ups, and a traditional hot-towel wet shave for a proper close finish. Ask when you come in and we'll talk through what suits you.
Where exactly are you, and how do I get there?
You'll find us at 243 Hoxton Street, London N1 5LG, right on Hoxton Street Market. It's a few minutes' walk from Hoxton Overground and an easy trip from Old Street and Shoreditch. There's a map just above.
How much is a cut?
Prices depend on what you're after, a trim, a full cut, or a cut with beard and shave. Our regulars know us for a good cut at a fair price, so give the shop a call and we'll tell you the going rate.
