Barber Shop Pop Up

Ok, so you probably know that we’ve got 4 barber shops in central London, but did you know that Pall Mall Barbers also has a barber shop pop up?

It’s a fully functioning barber shop too and whatever sort of event you’re having, our team of barbers can provide gentlemen’s haircuts, luxury wet shaves, amazing beard trims and an array of express treatments.

You don’t necessarily need to be holding a barber event, a shaving event or even a male grooming one – although obviously a barber shop pop up would be ideal in those situations. Any event where you have men who’d appreciate a bit of male grooming, a real shave, beard shaping or even just a quality hair cut would be a great place to feature a barber shop pop up.

Hiring a barber shop for your event is an effective way of creating a great focal attraction and adding extra value for those that attend, ensuring that your event is the talk of the town.

The PMB barber shop pop up has featured at some major events around Europe, has always been well received and well attended, adding a little bit more interest and something a bit different to these events. Whether you are launching a new product or brand, or want to create a new buzz about something that’s already quite well established, our barber shop events team are very experienced and can offer advice and help on the set up, layout and services to offer. We will work tirelessly alongside event organisers to ensure that your event no matter how big or small will get you maximum social media coverage and client satisfaction.  It really is a great way of attracting attention for your brand.

Some of the brands that we have worked with in the past include Club Wembley, Wasps RFC, Jack Daniels, Boisdales, Oliver Sweeney, Charles Tyrwhitt, Bottega Veneta, Movember, Tiger of Sweden, London Coffee Festival, Google and many more. Whatever your brand’s specific needs, we can accommodate.

When you’re hiring a barber shop pop from Pall Mall Barbers, you can be assured that you are getting some of the most experienced and respected barbers in London. They are enthralling  to watch as they ply their trade, demonstrating the best barber skills around. The service that they offer your attendees will be of a very high standard using quality products.

If you think that a barber shop pop up is just the thing for your next event, please contact Daniel Davies, the Pall Mall Barbers General Manager via email on dan@pallmallbarbers.com and he will be delighted to help.

Best Spa Treatments for Men in London

Think of spa treatments and you probably think of women walking around in dressing gowns, whispering in hush tones whilst getting facials and manicures.

Well, no longer.  Men too are waking up to the benefits of a bit of pampering, relaxation and general male maintenance. Good spas have been offering their male customers spa treatments for men, specially tailored to their own hair and skin needs for ages.  But barber shops have been doing just that for centuries!

And now we’ve been recognised for offering one of the best spa treatments for men in London. In Men’s Fitness, Pall Mall Barbers are top of the list for a traditional wet shave and haircut.  Our luxury wet shave features the traditional open blade of a cutthroat razor, after hot towels open the pores on your face and get the bristles standing up to enable a really close shave.  As one of the oldest and most respected barbers in London, you’ll be in safe hands at Pall Mall Barbers… and that’s a promise.

Offering one of the best spa treatments for men in London, means that we use the best products too.  We’ve developed the 3 stage shaving system to apply our vast knowledge of men’s skin and the shaving process.

New Barber Shop in Liverpool Street

We’re very excited to announce that Pall Mall Barbers is finally coming to the city! We’re just about to open a brand new barber shop in Liverpool Street. With all the usual styling of a traditional barber shop, our new one in the city is the fourth Pall Mall Barbers in central London with our other locations at Trafalgar Square, Fitzrovia and Westminster.

Our barber shops in London are known for their classic interiors with the traditional features of old school barber shops – the wood paneling, ceramic tiles, front facing sinks. But staying true to the history of barber shops also means delivering the sharpest haircuts and closest shaves in London.

And as quoted in one of the UK’s leading mens magazines, at Pall Mall Barbers we have “the best mix of old school service and razor sharp haircuts!”

We love that mix of old and new.

How to Use Moustache Wax

Moustache Wax.  What exactly is it, do I need it and how do I use it?  These are the questions we frequently get asked by our hairier faced customers.

Well, to start with, moustache wax is a stiff pomade usually made from beeswax, oil and fragrance. At Pall Mall Barbers we’ve developed our own moustache wax using essential oils and fragranced with sandalwood and clove. It comes in a solid format, so taking a little bit on the tip of your finger nail and warming it between your fingers will soften the wax turning it a bit tacky which can easily be applied to the hairs on your face.  The key here is really to only use a very small amount.  Too much and your moustache will look heavy and the wax may clump onto the hairs.

Using a moustache wax will help style your moustache, helping the hairs lie flat in the direction you want them to and ensuring they stay in place.  Whether you prefer a more natural look to your facial hair or you want to shape it into a real style statement, we’d recommend that you buy and learn how to use moustache wax properly.

Our shaving expert, Erin can show you exactly how to use moustache wax as she applies it to the model in our moustache wax video – we love the handlebar look he’s sporting at the end, styled to perfection by Erin!  You can also ask any of our barbers for their advice too next time you’re in any of our central London barber shops. Book an appointment online or call in next time you’re passing, we’ve got three barbershops – Trafalgar Square, Fitzrovia and Westminster.  And we’re soon opening a third barbershop in the city, near Liverpool Street.

For the well groomed gent, moustache wax is a must.

Beard Trimming in the City

Looking to keep your beard in tip top condition and have it trimmed to perfection? Then look no further, because luckily for you, Pall Mall Barbers are the beard experts!

And with 3 barber shops in Central London and another about to open near Liverpool Street,  beard trimming in the city is going to become very convenient.

Whatever the length of your beard, whether you’re just starting to grow it or it’s a full on bushy mass of facial hair, the most important thing is to keep it in good condition. Regular beard maintenance is crucial.  Washing and conditioning your hairy face, as well as regular beard trimming to keep it in shape and applying a really good beard oil to keep it soft and tamed and the regular things that you should be doing.  No-one wants to look at a musty, scruffy looking beard that may contain all manner of things from crumbs from your lunch to toothpaste to drops of your favourite tipple. And image all that sitting right under your nose.  Not good!

So, here are some tips on not only getting your beard in good condition and shaped well, but for on going beard maintenance.

Firstly, we’ve got a  great beard shaping video from Pall Mall Barbers if you’ve got a bit of growth started and don’t quite know how to shape it. Erin’s tips will help you make your beard look a lot thicker and more even overall. If you’re not that confident, or you’re a first time beard grower, make an appointment for beard trimming in the city and one of our experienced barbers will not only shape and trim your beard for you, but can also show you exactly how to do it at home yourself.

As it grows, it’s important to wash and condition your beard just as you would your hair. So every time you’re applying shampoo to the top of your head, do the bottom of your face too. It will only add seconds to your showering routine.  We’ve developed our own range of shampoos and conditioners for men that are ideal for your facial hair too. If you’ve got drier hair, go for the Argan Oil range, or if your hair is finer, greasier or your have a sensitive scalp then the Tea Tree Oil range would be a better choice. You can buy all our men's shampoos and conditioners online or instore.

So, you’ve got to the stage where your beard is looking pretty impressive. What now? Facial hair can get unruly quite quickly as it tends to grow in all different directions. Trim it regularly.. and carefully!  We’ve seen many a wonky moustache that needs rescuing! Come along for beard trimming in the city and then keep it looking as good as possible by using a quality beard oil.  It can be used for styling – it’ll look healthier and shinier and the hairs will sit in place better. But also, beard oil is a great deep conditioner for your facial hair applied when it’s wet. This will help you to style your beard as the hair becomes softer and more pliable. If you want to see exactly how to do this, here’s  another video featuring the top beard skills of Erin!
