Busy Weeks

There are busy weeks, and then there are frantically busy weeks, and that’s what we’ve had at Pall Mall Barbers. Where to begin? Should I tell you about Pall Mall Barbers taking a leading role in The One Show on Wednesday evening (which can still be seen on BBC iplayer)? Maybe I should tell you a bit about our very own Ben giving a wet shave in front of a crowd at HMV on Oxford Street. And then of course there is the news that Pall Mall Barbers has become truly international, as we were asked to be part of a Brazilian magazine’s article on the best global barber shops. As I said to Richard, if Pall Mall Barbers were a performer it would want an agent. I think one thing is for certain, Pall Mall Barbers is a classy celebrity.



First of all I should write a little on our appearance on The One Show. The article was all about hair transplants, a prominent issue currently in the tabloids owing to the revelation that Wayne Rooney got himself a rearrangement of hair follicles. If Pall Mall Barbers was the star of the show, then George would get the best supporting role for his confident contribution to the debate and there are some nice cameo roles by some of the other barbers in the background. It was a big honour to be asked by The One Show to participate in the show and we were more than happy to play our part. It is with the utmost respect though that I complain slightly about the content of the article. Some of you might have read my blog a few months back on hair loss and the options we face. Whether you’re pro or against hair transplants I think the show could have done more to examine why a man might consider going under the knife. As a man who started losing his age at 18 (12 years before the average) it isn’t just a mild inconvenience, it is a painful and sometimes humiliating experience. I do however understand that The One Show is about keeping it light and entertaining and most importantly have limited time to present the article.

So from one star in George to another – Ben. The leading role in this case I guess was the journalist from Zoo Magazine who was attempting to hang out in the Oxford Street HMV shop front window for 127 hours. It was all for charity so we couldn’t wait to get involved. There’s something to be said about wet shaves, that not only are they very luxurious for the recipient but they are also a great visual spectacle, so it was a perfect event to hold during the 5 days plus that Zoo was holding in HMV. Having had a shave from Ben, I know that however groggy and grimy The Zoo man felt before the shave, he will have felt invigorated for the remainder of his ordeal after the shave. It might not have been a prime time BBC event like George’s, but Ben nonetheless excelled during the 40 minute stint he had on the Zoo online channel.


So now we come to our last, but by no means least, moment of fame – our review in the Tam Nas Nuvens. It’s a Brazilian Magazine and the article is all about what we at Pall Mall Barbers hold as our core function – the tradition and luxury of old school barbering combined with modern fashions. The article looked at some of the best barber shops around the world at delivering such a demanding function. Barber shops from Sao Paulo to New York to London. I’ve never been but if I’m ever in Sao Paulo I’m definitely going to check out ‘9 De Julho’. It looks like a quality barber shop with plenty of attitude. As for our shop, the magazine described it as holding the secret to correct shaving!

Well I hope you all had as exciting a week as we have and hope to see you down the shop soon for a shave with one of our celebrity barbers, who might just share our shaving secrets with you – if you ask nicely!


Paul, Mal and Barbara are waiting for you.
