The Thousands

Haircuts. We all require one from time to time if only to smarten things up a tad. Disheveled charm only goes so far and when a fellow looks in the mirror and realises the ‘mid-period-Beatle/maths teacher’ look just isn’t working for them, decisive action must be taken. But where to go? We’ve all been burnt before, shamed into weeks of hat wearing while a trim ‘grows out’.

The smart option is to visit Nick at All the Kings Men who manages to combine the unpretentious charm of an old-school barbershop with the reassuring artfulness of a ritzy salon, without all the hair tonic, herbal tea and unsightly fauxhawks.

One gets so caught up marveling at how damn cool the place is and how one is actually enjoying oneself, one hardly notices Nick is going about his business, making one look presentable. The results speak for themselves – one hasn’t worn a hat since!
