Best Hairdressers and Barbers in Cramlington

Cramlington has plenty of places to get a haircut, but they are spread out. Most of the barbers are inside the Manor Walks shopping centre, so you can fit a trim around the shops, while the salons for cuts, colour and blow dries are out in the neighbourhood parades. This guide covers six of them: two hairdressers and four barbers.

Opening hours and prices change, and the details below were correct at the time of writing. They come from each business's own website, the Manor Walks store directory or its booking listing. Please check before you go, especially on Sundays and Mondays.

Tips for getting your hair cut in Cramlington

• Booking: we could not find online booking for any of the barbers, so phone ahead or call in and ask about waiting times. For colour, perms or extensions, book a salon in advance, and ask whether you need a patch test first.
• Sundays: Zanko Barber and Fade Zone are open on Sundays from 10am to 4pm. Both salons and the other barbers are closed.
• Late appointments: LMR is open until 7pm on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and The Head Gardner until 7pm on Thursdays.
• Early starts: the Village Barber Shop opens at 8.30am on weekdays and 8am on Saturdays.
• Prices: LMR publishes its full price list online. For the barbers, ask when you arrive, as prices are not published.
• Combine it with the shops: three of the four barbers are inside Manor Walks, which is open from 8am to 6pm Monday to Saturday and 9.30am to 4.30pm on Sunday, so a trim fits easily around a shopping trip.
