Tom Carver

Barber

Tom's background in men's grooming means he's as comfortable with a straight razor as he is with a pair of Kashos. A favourite with the bearded crowd.

What Bristol Thinks

Rated 4.9 stars across 340+ Google reviews. Here's a sample of what our regulars say.

★★★★★

Been coming here for three years now and I genuinely cannot imagine going anywhere else. Marcus always knows exactly what I want before I've even finished describing it. The hot-towel shave is an absolute treat — I book it every few weeks as a treat-myself thing.

Jade did my skin fade last week and I've had about fifteen people ask me where I got it done. The shop itself is beautiful, the atmosphere is relaxed, and they never try to rush you out. Easily the best barbershop in Bristol, probably beyond.

Took my 10-year-old son here for the first time and he was nervous. Tom was brilliant with him — patient, funny, and the cut was spot on. He's already asking to go back. Not a cheap haircut, but worth every penny for the experience.

I've visited barbershops all over the UK for work and Blade & Bone is genuinely among the very best. Aiko's scissor technique is extraordinary — she removed bulk without losing length and the result was perfect. Booked again before I left the chair.

Easy online booking, reminders the night before, and you're seen on time — no waiting around. The cut itself was brilliant, but honestly the whole experience is just really well run. You can tell there's genuine pride in what they do here.

Retired now and get a senior cut here every three weeks. Always treated like a proper customer, never rushed, and the discount on Mondays is much appreciated. Tom always has a good story ready and the banter is half the reason I come back.

Questions Answered

Frequently Asked Questions

Still not sure? Here are the questions we hear most often. Call us if yours isn't here.

Do I need to book in advance?+
No — we welcome walk-ins every day. However, if you'd like a specific barber or a particular time slot, booking ahead ensures you won't have to wait. Weekend mornings get busy, so we'd always recommend booking for Saturday.
Do you charge a cancellation fee?+
Never. We don't take a deposit and there's no cancellation fee. If something comes up, just let us know as soon as possible so we can offer the slot to someone else — that's all we ask.
How long does a typical appointment take?+
A classic cut takes around 30–40 minutes. A cut plus beard trim runs to about 50 minutes. The traditional wet shave is a 45-minute experience. If you're booking for the first time, we'd suggest allowing a few extra minutes for your consultation.
Do you cut all hair types?+
Yes. Our barbers are trained and experienced across all hair types and textures — including afro, curly, thick, fine, and everything in between. Jade in particular specialises in textured and curly cuts. Mention your hair type when booking if you'd like us to pair you accordingly.
Can I bring a photo or reference image?+
Please do — it's the best way to make sure we're on the same page. You can upload or show us an image on your phone, or note any reference in the booking form. We'll always be honest about what's achievable with your hair type.
Is parking available nearby?+
Yes. Free on-street parking is available on Regent Street after 6pm and all day on Sundays. Clifton Down Station is a two-minute walk and bus routes 8 and 9 stop directly outside the shop on The Mall.
Do you offer gift vouchers?+
We do. Gift vouchers are available in-shop or by calling us, and can be purchased for any amount or specific service. They're valid for 12 months and make a genuinely useful gift for any man in your life.
What's the best time to come as a walk-in?+
Weekday mornings between 9am and 11am are typically our quietest time. Lunchtimes and Saturday mornings are our busiest. If you're flexible, Monday to Wednesday before noon is when you'll almost always be seen straight away.
