One of the questions we often get asked by new clients visiting our Baldwin Street hair salon is the difference between a hairdresser and a barber in Bristol city centre.
Are you looking for a hairdresser or barber in Bristol city centre?
When we get new male clients visiting our central Bristol salon for the first time, they’re often passing trade due to our location or alternatively because we’ve been recommended to them by an existing female client.
The question about hairdressing and barbering is a good one because as a unisex hair salon in central Bristol, we’ve seen more and more male clients visiting us to utilise our barbering and gents’ hairdressing services.
We give all clients (male and female) a full and free hair consultation before carrying out any cutting, and this allows a new client to talk through their current look, and any inspiration they want to bring to a new look, as well as chat to our team of friendly and experienced hair stylists in detail.
The world of barbering has traditionally been seen as quite one-dimensional from outside the hair industry.
Barbering has been viewed as simply about clipper haircuts, a short back and sides delivered in 10 minutes, and then a repeat visit every few weeks to trim the hair with clippers again for a guy.
This isn’t the case at our BS1 hair salon, and our male clients enjoy the same level of consultation, creative cutting and hair product advice that our female clients enjoy.
Our hairdressing services involve a full hair consultation every time, a high level of client education around hairdressing and product knowledge, scissor cuts and professional hair styling for men. It’s a top-level experience.
We pride ourselves on the level of male hairdressing education and men’s hair product knowledge we pass on, too, and are regularly posting male-centred blog posts for the benefit of our growing male client audience.
We also have male and female stylists, so the choice is up to you when you visit our Baldwin Street hair salon in terms of who works with you on your hair.
