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.

Customers have been asking for a while when we were going to venture a little further east into the city of London, but for us it was all about finding the right location. And we’re delighted to say that at last we have.  The new barber shop is going to be at 123 Houndsditch, Bishopsgate. You can see exactly where we are here.  Within a few minutes walk of Liverpool Street, Aldgate and Moorgate stations, we’re right in the heart of the city so all you city gents no longer have to come west to get your hair cut at the best barbers in London!  We’ve come to you.

At the new barber shop in Liverpool Street we’ll be offering the full range of men’s hairdressing and traditional barbers services including luxury wet shaves, beard trims, men’s haircuts and restyles as well of course as having all the Pall Mall Barbers hair care and shaving products for sale.

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 of course, not forgetting being surrounded by good old barber shop humour and banter! 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!”

So it was only natural that we should now be opening in the city, an area full of history and tradition that is also at the cutting edge of big business, with areas likes Brick Lane, Spitalfields  and Leadenhall sitting comfortably next to the Gherkin and the Walkie Talkie building. We love that mix of old and new.

For all your men’s hairdressing and barber shop services in the city, we’ll be open Monday to Friday from 9am to 7pm so come in, say hello and get the best haircut or shave available in London today.

You can book your appointments online through our booking system, or give us a ring on 020 7626 0123, we look forward to seeing you at our new barber shop in Liverpool Street.

Pall Mall Barbers and Barbering on the BBC

Pall Mall Barbers was the backdrop for a recent programme filmed for the BBC on the History of Barbering. With our salons styled in the traditional barber shop style with wood panelling, retro tiles and front facing sinks, they are the perfect location for a programme about barbers and how the barber shop developed.

Dr Alun Withey, one of the BBC’s New Generation Thinker was doing a feature for the broadcaster about barbering in the 18th century and decided to use one of our barber shops in Central London to film in.  The team were there for most of the day and we have some great shots of them filming.

Sporting his own impressive growth of facial hair, Alun took the plunge and went for a luxury wet shave when he came into Pall Mall Barbers in Fitzrovia after deciding to experience all the joys of a professional shave for himself.  So with Michael, a very experienced and skillful barber he was in safe hands and ended up with a smooth, hairfree face and soft moisturised skin. If you want to see the before and after pictures and learn a little more about the history of barbering, the programme is now on the BBC Arts website.You can also see the steps Michael goes through when he gives a luxury wet shave.

Or if you want to read more about the fascinating history of barber shops and their tradition of surgical services through the ages, then Alun’s got a longer feature on his blog.

And if you fancy enjoying the barbering skills of a Pall Mall Barber, why not book in for your own luxury wet shave. You can book online or call any of our Central London barber shops.

Safety Razor

What Exactly is a Safety Razor?

It sounds a bit like safety scissors. You know those ones with the rounded edges that can’t actually cut anything and you give them to children?  Well, thankfully, a safety razor is nothing like those!

A safety razor is as sharp as any other razor, but it also has  the addition of a guard that glides along the skin between your face and the blade, which reduces the risk of cutting your face whilst shaving.  So they are ideal if you have sensitive skin, or perhaps scars and marks on your face. An elegant tool in any man’s grooming kit, a safety razor gives a really close, smooth shave and with replaceable single blades, they are also a very cost effective shaving tool in your daily routine as new blades are a much cheaper option than most of the multi blade alternatives.

At Pall Mall Barbers, we have a few safety razors – the St Paul, the Westminster and the St James, which are really popular with customers. It just depends on the look you like and the way you hold the razor, to determine which safety razor would be best for you.

The Independepent recently included our Westminster one in their list of 10 best safety razors – high praise indeed. They particularly liked the simple way of being able to change the razor blade with the handle releasing the razor head.

If you’d like to try one of these safety razors yourself but need some advice first, pop into one of our central London barber shops and any of the guys there will be happy to help you. Otherwise, if you know what you want, go straight to our safety razor page and you can buy online too.

Beard Shaping

Have you tried beard shaping yourself but it’s not quite looking how you want it to?

Beard shaping can be quite tricky, but fortunately here in London we’ve got some of the best barbers in the business. And at our Pall Mall Barbers salon in Trafalgar Square, the Manager Erin is right up there with the very best.

With her knowledge of beards, facial hair and men’s shaving she can give the best advice and tips on beard shaping in London.

Maybe you’ve started to grow your beard, it’s got past the stubble stage but it’s now beginning to look a bit scruffy or unkempt. So what’s the best advice for beard shaping in this instance? Well, we’d recommend watching this beard shaping video on the Pall Mall Barbers Youtube channel. It features Erin advising on how to get sharp lines, how to make your beard look thicker and fuller and how to get it more even all over when it may be growing at different rates.

But what about beard shaping when you’re lucky enough to have quite a full, bushy face of hair? A boxed beard is quite a strong look, that still maintains a smart and professional air. In the next video, Erin talks through and demonstrates how to shape a boxed beard.

The great thing about a beard is that like your hair, you can change the look and shape of it. Grow it a bit longer and you’ll have different options on beard shaping that you can try.  So, what do you fancy? Maybe a Van Dyke?  This is a more pointy beard that needs cutting into shape.  It’s the style of beard Leonardo di Caprio was rocking in Django Unchained. Again, our beard supremo Erin, can talk you through how to get this look with this beard shaping video.

Still don’t feel like you’re ready to master the art of beard shaping yourself? Then book an appointment at any of our London barber shops and get a professional to do it for you.  They’ll look at the shape of your face, the direction of hair growth and can discuss with you the best style of beard for you.  Once styled right, it’ll be far easier for you to manage yourself.

You can book a beard shaping appointment online or order any of the Pall Mall Barbers Sandalwood and Clove beard grooming products.

Thinning Hair

Thinning hair can really affect a man's confidence and as a result, we may stay in denial trying all sorts of tricks to cover it up. But as Dan Davies, the General Manager of Pall Mall Barbers would advise, it's far better to work with it, getting the right cut and using the right products, rather than trying to disguise it.

Dan's expert opinion on thinning hair has been quoted on Fashionbeans.com, the complete fashion, style, fitness and grooming guide for the modern gent. With their team of industry experts, Fashionbeans.com provide the everyday male with the latest advice, inspiration and guides to looking their best daily and has over 1 million readers a month.

If you want to read what Dan has to say on thinning hair, click through to the 2015 Male Grooming Manifesto and then scroll down to May's entry.

First of all, Dan suggests getting it cut rather than trying to grow the thinning hair and then using a matt hair styling product like Pall Mall Barbers Pliable Clay. This has been developed, tried and tested by our professional barbers at our barber shops in London and will give definition to shorter styles of mens hair. Pliable Clay is great for creating styles that can be reworked during the day too, especially if you're going out after work or have a really busy day ahead. It comes in 2 sizes and can be bought online or in any of our Central London barber shops.

If you want to try some Pliable Clay and are not quite sure how to use it, we've got a great video of Dan explaining how much to use and exactly how to apply it. Check out the Pall Mall Barbers youtube channel and watch the video.

And remember, if you're starting to notice thinning hair, book in for a good haircut at Pall Mall Barbers, get their advice on the right products to use and how to style your hair - you'll look and feel much better.

History of Barbering

Ever wondered about the history of barbering and how the barber shops of old used to operate?  Well, we recently had a visit from Dr Alun Withey at our Fitzrovia barber shop in London, who knows all about such things.

Dr Alun had come in to have his beard shaved off and in his role as an academic historian of medicine and the body and a 2014 AHRC/BBC 'New Generation Thinker', he has written a really interesting piece on his blog all about the history of barbering.

As this was his very first experience of a professional wet shave with an open blade, he was naturally a bit nervous but as he was in the process of making a short film about shaving in Georgian Britain and this was part of his research, Dr Alun wanted to experience a proper wet shave by a qualified barber, and let's be honest, if you're going to have a cut throat razor held against your skin, you'd definitely want a Pall Mall Barber doing it!

Fortunately for Dr Alun, the barber in question - Michael, knows exactly how to give the closest, smoothest shave known to man and Dr Alun seemed impressed!  And he knows a good barber when he comes across one as he's spent the last 5 or 6 years researching and writing about shaving and the history of barbering.

In his blog, the history of barbering is covered from the 18th century when the skills, hygiene levels and quality of the barbers' tools often left gents of the time, with sore faces and nicks and cuts galore.  Thankfully that's no longer the case!

Why not read the blog, then book a professional wet shave for yourself and revel in this luxurious and very masculine experience.

St James area of London

The St James area in the west end of London is synonymous with the British aristocracy and Gentleman’s Clubs, and Pall Mall Barbers has been associated with the area since 1896.

In fact, the street Pall Mall is still the home of many private members clubs like the RAC Club, the Army and Navy Club, the Carlton Club and the Reform Club. Plus many more around St James’s Square, St James’s Street and Piccadilly.  With so many well groomed, professional men in the area, it was only natural that a men’s barber shop should thrive in St James.

In the “City of  Westminster”, this very historic area of Central London is full of beautiful architecture where some very prestigious international firms have their head offices. St James is also within walking distance of some of the capital’s most famous landmarks like Trafalgar Square, Westminster Abbey, Buckingham Palace and Piccadilly Circus. It’s even home to some of London’s most beautiful parks like St James’s Park and Green Park. So it’s naturally a very busy area with business people, tourists and day trippers to London, making St James definitely one of our favourite areas of London.

The Trafalgar Square branch of Pall Ball Barbers is within easy reach of all these famous sights, plus close to several tube stations like Leicester Square, Charing Cross and Piccadilly Circus. So if you work in the St James area or are just visiting and any barber services like a luxury wet shave, men’s haircut or any type of men’s shaving products and hair styling products, why not drop by our barber shop and see how we can help. You can also Barber shop appointments in St James area of Londonbook appointments online or order any of shaving and hair products we sell in store.

We look forward to seeing you when you next need a barber in St James.

Men's Shaving

Shaving tips and tricks

Looking for some shaving tips and tricks to improve the quality and comfort of your daily shave? Then look no further.

At Pall Mall Barbers we are known as the shaving experts.  Our barbers are some of the best in the business, which is why their opinion and expertise is always sought by media companies looking for an expert’s view.

Latest to be featured is Erin Wentworth, Manager of our Trafalgar Square barber shop in central London.  She’s an industry leader in the art of wet shaving and beard shaping, so you can’t really get any better when needing some shaving tips and tricks.

As the guest blogger of Professional Hairdresser’s “The Grooming Diaries”  she shares some of her knowledge and skill as she guides you through each step of a luxury wet shave.

Men's Shampoo

It's always better to use a shampoo designed for your specific type of hair.  That's we always advise our customers to use a men's shampoo.

Men and women have very different hair and therefore should use different hair products.  We know how easy it is to just pick up whatever bottle of shampoo your other half uses, when your hair needs washing, but honestly, use one designed for your hair type and you really will see the benefit.

At Pall Mall Barbers, we have spent years developing our own men's shampoo and conditioners.  We have an Argan Oil one that is great for drier hair and one with Tea Tree Oil that is more suited to guys with a slightly greasier scalp or hair.

At our barber shops in Central London, we have been cutting and styling mens hair for a very long time - in fact, our barber shops have been around since 1896.  So if there is one thing we know a lot about, it's definitely men's hair! That's why we developed our own range of men's shampoo because we wanted to apply that expertise and create the very best range of products we could.

So which men's shampoo would be best for you?

Pall Mall Barbers Luxury Argan Oil Men's Shampoo is a deep nourishing treatment with vitamin E, Argan oil and essential fatty acids. This men's shampoo is recommended for daily use to help blitz dandruff and itchy scalp. It also helps to repair split ends.

The main ingredient is Argon Oil that comes from a natural plant oil produced from the kernels of the Argan tree that is endemic to Morocco.  To use Argan Oil Men's Shampoo, rinse hair in warm water. Apply shampoo and slowly work into a ‘tingling’ rich lather whilst massaging scalp. Leave for 30 seconds and rinse completely. Repeat if required and finish with conditioner for best results.

Pall Mall Barbers Luxury Tea Tree Men's Shampoo is a more stimulating and invigorating shampoo for men infused with organic tea tree and eucalyptus oils and is suitable for all hair types. It is ideal for problem scalps and it is both mild and effective with regular use.

To use Tea Tree Men's Shampoo rinse hair in warm water. Apply shampoo and slowly work into a ‘tingling’ rich lather whilst massaging scalp. Leave for 30 seconds and rinse completely. Repeat if required and finish with conditioner for best results.

Both men's shampoo come in 250ml pump dispensers and are available online at Pall Mall Barbers or in any of our Central London barbers shops.

Beard Oil

Beards are still the look of the moment and it seems the bushier the better.  But that doesn't mean it should be scruffy.

At our barbers shop in Central London, Pall Mall Barbers see beards of all shapes and sizes and we've got loads of tips and advice on how to keep them looking good and in shape.

The best product you can use on your beard, is beard oil.  The one we use at Pall Mall Barbers, is our very own Sandalwood and Clove Beard Oil.  We've developed it ourselves, using the finest ingredient and testing it on our customers.

Our beard oil contains three different essential oils that are blended together to leave your skin and beard hair in unparalleled condition. Sweet Almond Oil, Jojoba Oil and Vitamin E Oils will protect and moisturise your skin, as well as leaving your beard hair revitalised, soft and above all else in perfect condition to style and manage.

MPs Hair - How Much Do They Spend?

Politics and Haircuts. What a combination!

A while ago there was a big hoo-haa about MPs hair and how much they paid for their haircuts.

Let's be honest, MPs are not really known for their trend setting, stylish appearances so their hair styles are never going to be at the forefront of fashion. They're more of the low maintenance, easy to keep tidy types with hairstyles that won't look too embarrassing when there's a big gust of wind or they're snapped unexpectedly.

But this recent furore about MPs hair was triggered by David Cameron's barber being made an MBE.  As a result, The Independent newspaper decided to run an article and do some research into MPs hair and how much they paid for their haircuts. Naturally, when any media outlet wants an expert's opinion on men's hair or any other barbering service, they turn to Pall Mall Barbers.

So Daniel Davies, our General Manager, was contacted for his expertise and knowledge, and shared his wisdom. They wrote up a really favourable description of our traditional  barbers shop - if you want to read the full article, it's on The Independent website.

So if you want your hair cut by the best barbers in London, come along to Pall Mall Barbers.  There are now 3 barbers shops in Central London - Trafalgar Square, Fitzrovia and Westminster.  You can book an appointment on line - we don't just cut MPs hair!

Male Grooming Event.

We love a good male grooming event at Pall Mall Barbers and we had  a great time at one just event just before the Christmas break, with Tiger of Sweden, Club Wembley and the Jaunty Flaneur.

It was a very sophisticated male grooming event,  in the stylish surrounds of Tiger of Sweden’s Piccadilly Circus store, just around the corner from our own barber shop in Central London. This particular male grooming event was organised by The Golden Ticket, an exclusive networking community for city professionals and those who came were treated to some expert wet shaves, beard trims and general hairstyling from our barbers.

Also on offer, were plenty of free samples from the new Pall Mall Barbers signature range of luxury shaving and male grooming products, like our Sandalwood and Clove Beard Oil that was going down a treat with our hairy faced friends. It seems the popularity of beards continues unabated, so our barbers were on hand to give lots of advice and tips on how to shape your beard, general beard maintenance and care along with some free beard trimming and moustache shaping.

The event showcased the smart new range from Tiger of Sweden and also demonstrating their skills at this male grooming event, were those dapper chaps from Jaunty Flaneur who were shoe shining to perfection.  The whole evening was a masterclass male grooming event, with (nearly…) everyone leaving at the end of the night looking far more groomed and styled than when they arrived and that's always a good thing!

Traditional Barber Shop in Central London

Pall Mall Barbers and our traditional barber shop is the star of the show!

At Pall Mall Barbers we’re very proud of our traditional barber shop interior.  All wood paneling, lean over sinks and tiling. Not only is it a nod to the great history of barbering but we also see it as staying true to the integrity of a real barbers environment and reflecting our skills as professionals. If you'd like to see our traditional barber shops in London you'll find details of central London locations by clicking on the links above.

It seems many others think so too. And this is probably why our traditional barbers shops in London are often featured as the backdrop in photo shoots, high profile interviews and filming sequences.  You may have seen us in some leading men’s publications like GQ and on some prime TV programmes, such as Heir Hunters on the BBC.

And it looks like our traditional barber shop in Fitzrovia will be on your screens again soon.  It will be featured as the setting for an interview that took place recently for a programme that will be seen on BBC sometime in the near future.

We’re always surprised at how much work goes into filming a sequence, no matter how short it will finally be.  The team who were setting it up were great and it was really interesting to see what was involved. And we like to think the real star of the show was our lovely London barber shop!

As soon as we know when it will be aired and on which BBC channel, we’ll let you know.

Beard Care Advice

For all things beard related, Pall Mall Barbers really are the experts. So if you're looking for  beard care, styling and maintenance,  the team have compiled their top tips for guys participating in Decembeard.

Since 2011 Beating Bowel Cancer has invited men to take part in Decembeard and raise money to help those affected by bowel cancer by getting sponsored to grow a beard. Every December, the campaign is designed to raise money for the charity, helping and supporting people with bowel cancer and their families and raising awareness of the disease, its symptoms and the need for early diagnosis.

TOP TIPS

• In the initial stages,  use trimmers to beard trim and keep it sharp. Even light stubble can look stylish with some lining out and shaping.
• Don’t throw your razor away just yet; keeping the neck and cheeks clean shaven, this gives the beard a more prominence and adds to the overall shape.
• Shave away the flyaway hairs on your cheeks and keep the lines on the face quite natural with a nice curved line.
• Your neck line, depending on your beard type i.e. natural, styled or stubble, will vary.  But try not to let the beard grow too far down the neck; taking the neckline higher will give a fuller and thicker look.
• When determining the neckline, start anywhere between the top of your Adam’s apple and the crease in your neck that leads to your jaw.
• To keep the beard looking neat and healthy use a shampoo and/or a conditioner, you will notice the difference straight away; it will be easier to manage and will become a lot easier and a comb will fly through those knots.
• A good looking beard requires good styling and home maintenance. A small beard kit is essential to keep it  in line. A basic kit should consist of Scissors, a fine tooth comb, beard oil and a moustache wax.
• To keep unruly facial hair in order with a healthy shine, add a few drops of beard oil and smooth over the beard. Pall Mall Barbers Sandalwood and Clove Beard Oil which helps to condition beards.
• Even with these great tips, you may not fancy doing it yourself. If that's the case, call into one of our barber shops or make an appointment online and book in for a beard trimming service from London's beard experts.

We trim your beard and get it into shape for you, so that it'll be easier to care for and maintain.

You can also pick up our luxury Beard Oil in store or order it online.  And we've got a great video of Erin from Pall Mall Barbers showing you how to use it. Watch the beard shaping video here.
