Slow to change, on purpose.
The chairs are the originals. Almost everything else has been replaced at least once.

The regulars
Some of them since the old shop.
“I asked for something different and was told, politely, that my hair would not do it, and here is what would.”
Ryan A., Paddington
Every five weeks
“Took my lad for his first cut. Booster board, a certificate and a lot of patience. He now asks to come.”
Tariq S., Red Hill
Saturday mornings
“The shave is worth booking for its own sake. Forty minutes, hot towels, a small holiday.”
Frank O., Bardon
Birthday every year
