The Ritual

Turkish Barbering
Galaksi Berberi

Every cut at Galaxy Barber follows the old-school Turkish routine: clippers and scissors first, then a straight-razor edge cleaned up with precision, finished with a steaming hot towel before you're back out on Nicolson Street.

Ask for threading too — reviewer David called it the one thing he'd given up finding anywhere else in Edinburgh, until he walked in here.

No booking app, no waiting list — the door says it plainly: just walk in. Students get 10% off every visit.

What Edinburgh Says

"I just flew in from Canada and needed a quick trim. Only cost 16 pounds. Cheaper than at home. The barber was great, took his time and was professional."

Owen D.

"The best barber I've found in Edinburgh and I've tried quite a few. I have found a good barber in Edinburgh. They even do threading which I'd given up on looking for in Edinburgh. Great price point. The barbers are professional, competent, and dutiful."

David

"This barber shop is truly where money buys happiness. I come here all the time and always ask for different styles, and he executes every single one of them perfectly. Time flies by with great conversation. I highly recommend it"

Adar
