Barber Shop & Barbers in London


Our London Barbers

LOOK OUT FOR 'PALL MALL BARBERS' ON CHANNEL 4 THIS MONTH
Having been approached by the makers of a new documentary for CHANNEL 4, 'Pall Mall Barbers London' is due to appear in 'The Boy Who Was Born A Girl' on Friday Sept 4th at 8:00p.m. This is a positive, heart-warming story about a young man by the name of 'John' and focuses on his journey from boy to man, whilst coping with gender 'Dysphoria'. We were filmed giving John a gentleman’s hair cut and wet shave. As a first timer, it seems he found the whole experience, very relaxing and enlightening!!!


'CONDE NAST' PHOTO SHOOT.....ON LOCATION AT 'PALL MALL BARBERS'
It seems we are fast becoming a popular location for both film and editorial shoots. Recently we were asked by the 'Conde Nast' group, if they could use the barbershop as a location for the new 'House of Fraser' autumn menswear collection, campaign. By dressing the shop with 'union jack' bunting and other 1940's props, they brought a quintessentially British feel to the shop, for one morning! They felt it was a very fitting location to reflect this era...and we look forward to seeing the results in 'House of Fraser' stores, up and down the country.


PALL MALL BARBERS….IS GOING GLOBAL!!!
Thanks to joining forces with the shaving company ‘Kamisori Club’ in Japan, ‘Pall Mall Barbers’ is due to be seen all over the world! The ‘Kamisori Club’ have come up with the ingenious idea of publishing a ‘coffee table’ style photo book, after visiting and interviewing barbers in 37 countries around the world. This project is designed to represent a true portrait of barbers in each of these countries, by using photos of barbers at work in their barber shops and interviews with them

Barber Shop Review

27 Whitcomb Street, home to Pall Mall Barbers London, an old-style barber shop, which has been there since 1896. It is one of London’s hidden treasures and has at its shop-front the famous red-and-white rotating barber’s pole, which has an interesting history. In ancient Rome, barbers acted not only as shavers and hairdressers but also as surgeons and dentists, treating wounds, bloodletting, leeching and even extracting teeth. In England, barbers were chartered into a guild in 1462 by Edward IV as the Company of Barbers. In 1492, surgeons formed a separate guild and the two came together in 1540 under Henry VIII as the United Barber Surgeon’s Company. The red-and-white barber’s pole became a symbol of the bloodletting: the white bandages were the clean bandages and the red ones the bloody ones. They would be hung out to dry after washing on the pole, and would blow and twirl together in the wind to form the spiral pattern of the present-day red and white barber’s pole. Barbers have been featured in literature as well as in operas, such as The Barber of Seville. Barbers have been around for centuries, and they are proud of the fact. Indian hairdressers or hairstylists need not feel humiliated. It is time to restore the ‘Barber’ in Billu and be proud of it.
