I.The services
A traditional barber’s, since 1989
Modern where it matters, traditional where it counts: a Kentish Town institution serving NW5, Camden Town, Tufnell Park, Gospel Oak and Dartmouth Park for nearly forty years. Everyone’s welcome, and the banter is free.
Haircuts
Classic scissor cuts, clipper work and restyles. Unhurried, precise, every time.
Skin Fades
Skin fades and buzz cuts, taken down clean and blended by hand. Add a hot towel to finish.
Beard Trims
Shaped, lined and tidied, from full beards to a clean-edged stubble.
Kids and O.A.P.s
Patient first haircuts for the little ones, and a fair rate for the gents who came first.
II.A family shop, and the clue is in the name
Meet Mike
George put his name over the door in 1989. His son Mike keeps it there, running the same chairs and cutting hair the way his dad taught him: properly, without fuss, and always with time for a chat.
Nearly forty years on the same corner of Kentish Town Road means first haircuts have turned into wedding trims, and school-run dads into regulars of twenty years. Sit down, you’re in good hands.
