Prices
The whole menu, no surprises
Five services, fixed prices, and the time each one is booked for. What you see is what you pay in the chair.
The shop
What you actually get
No mission statement. Four things that decide whether a haircut is worth the money.
01
Time in the chair
A haircut is booked as forty-five minutes, not twenty. That is long enough to talk through what you want before anything is cut, and to finish it properly rather than move you along.
02
The price is the price
Every service is published with its price and its length. Nothing is added at the till, and the concession rate is on the menu rather than something you have to ask for.
03
Booked, not queued
The diary is live. Pick your service, pick a slot, turn up — instead of standing in a shop hoping somebody is free, or ringing three times and getting no answer.
04
Straight off the high street
Fore Street, a few minutes from the High Street and Exeter Central. Easy to fit around a lunch break, a lecture or a Saturday in town.
The room
Not a waiting room
Most barbers put a bench by the door and call it done. This one was designed.
Microcement walls and black fluted panelling. Renaissance ceiling frescoes across two full walls, a marble bust in a gold laurel, white leather chairs on chrome. Cyan neon, twice.
None of that cuts hair. But it is the difference between twenty minutes you endure and twenty minutes you do not mind — and it tells you something about how much attention gets paid to the things that do.
The world is yours.
The work
Fades, crops, beards
Cuts from the shop floor. No stock photography — every frame here is Culture Box.

Questions
Before you book
Do I need to book, or can I walk in?
Booking is the reliable way to get a chair, and it takes about thirty seconds on Booksy. Walk-ins depend entirely on whether there is a gap that day, so if you are making a trip into town, check the live diary first — it shows the next free slot.
How do I book an appointment?
Through the Book button anywhere on this site, which opens the Culture Box diary on Booksy. Pick the service, pick a time, and you are booked. There is no phone queue and no waiting for a reply.
How much is a haircut?
A haircut is £20. Students, military and over-65s pay £18, a kids’ cut for under-14s is £16, a beard trim is £10, and hair and beard together is £28.
Where exactly are you?
Montgomery House, 144 Fore Street, Exeter EX4 3AN — on Fore Street as it runs down from the top of town towards Exe Bridges, in Exeter city centre.
How long will I be in the chair?
A haircut is a 45-minute appointment, hair and beard is an hour, a kids’ cut is 30 minutes and a beard trim is 15 minutes. Those are the slots held in the diary, not estimates.
Do you cut children’s hair?
Yes. Under-14s are £16 for a 30-minute appointment. Book a slot rather than turning up and waiting — it is an easier haircut for everyone.
What are your opening hours?
The live diary on Booksy always shows exactly which days and times are bookable, including today. That is more reliable than a fixed table on a website, so that is what this site links to.
What if I need to cancel or change my appointment?
Use the confirmation email or text from Booksy — you can move or cancel the appointment from there yourself. Booksy shows the shop’s cancellation terms when you book.
Ready for your next cut?
Pick a service, pick a time. Booking takes about thirty seconds and the diary is live.
