Aside from the fairly recent addition of electric clippers,
you’d probably think the barbering trade hasn’t changed much since it first
made an appearance in Ancient Egypt. But you’d be wrong. From the Middle Ages
until the 17th century, your friendly local Fitzrovia barbers probably offered dentistry
and minor surgical procedures in addition to the more obvious services – pop in
for a haircut, stick around for the tooth extraction and bloodletting. Leeches
and scalpels are no longer part of the traditional barber’s toolkit (not ours,
anyway), but there are a few elements of the past we think are worth
preserving.
From the 19th century up until WWII, traditional barbers shops London were welcoming and lively centres of news, camaraderie and gossip for men
of all ages – in some cases, even more so than the local pub. We should know because we were there. Our first shop on Whitcomb Street, known then as the Pall Mall
Toilet Saloon, opened its doors in 1896 and is now one of the oldest
traditional Barbers Oxford circus London has left.
As
one of the top traditional barbers London has to offer, the fixtures and
fittings of each Pall Mall Barbers branch across the city
have been carefully selected to evoke the feel of the “Golden Age of British
Barbering” – from the oak panelling to the retro fittings and front wash
sinks. We’ll even serve you a glass of whiskey upon arrival to complete the
full gentleman’s club experience of the fin de siècle man about town.
But
more importantly, our Camden barbers are rigorously trained to provide the kind of
personalised service you’d expect from a trusted advisor. Each cut, beard
shaping or shave starts with a consultation to ensure that you leave with the style that suits your face shape, lifestyle and desired look. You’ll also get
advice on the best products to help you maintain a sharp look every day –
whether it’s from our award-winning range, or if your loyalties lie elsewhere
(we won’t take offence).
Thankfully,
dentistry has moved on a bit in the last century – as have fashion, hairstyles
and a gentleman’s grooming. We like to think we’ve moved with the times as well,
but the most important thing we’ve learned in the past one hundred years is
that a good relationship with a trusted Barber Marylebone will never go out of style.
