The shop

Fit for a king, priced for the neighbourhood.

The fit-out punches well above Balmoral Road: a full row of dark-wood stations with ceramic sinks, throne-like black leather chairs and mirrors lit in warm amber. At night the shop announces itself with its glowing crown sign.

Reviewers describe a relaxed, homely atmosphere — there's a big TV and a PlayStation for anyone waiting — and barbers who are friendly, welcoming and precise, with meticulous fades the standout craft.
