facebook.comHaircuts, beard trims, grooming products and fun stuff. We got it all.
The one thing people don't think about when it comes to what we do here is the fact we are a stop for quality grooming products. Like Copacetic pomade from The UK. We carry shave products that do not contain gas by products. We stock pomades, creams, pastes, clays and waxes that were never tested on animals. Shampoos and conditioners that are free of parabens and sulfates. But most importantly, they are products that are designed by people who actually cut and understand hair. Yeah, they are a bit more expensive (mainly because the stuff we stock is ordered in from all over the world) but when you look at the big picture, the containers are bigger giving you more product, it works better so you don't have to use as much which stretches your dollar further, holds better so it will work all day and the ethics/directions of the manufacturers are in the right place. Next time you're standing in line at the drugstore or grocery store with the $7 hair product or $10 can of shave gel, put it down and come see what we have and why it's better all around.
Kentville! New week, new you (or whatever works at this point in the year). Appointments are available for the week. Scope 'em out or swing by as a walk in and see what's available.
Remember us? It's been busy and we don't have anyone posted up on social media all day. So here we are. That said, we're back at it today for the week. Lets hang. Check out what we have available for appointments by hitting the book now tab or walk in and see when the next opening is.
Lacing 'em up to lay down the juice.
A little piece of Nova Scotia will be featured in a book out of the UK highlighting shops and barbers from around the world. We are extremely humbled and honoured to make the cut for this and be featured along with some amazing people from around the globe. It should be available by February (hopefully) and we will definitely have a few kicking around the shop when they are ready. A massive thank you to Tom Chapman for the interest and support of what we are doing and congrats on his first published piece of work. Here's to many more.
Hello you sweet princes and princesses of the Annapolis Valley. We have power so we are open and chopping locks today. Cruise by and let’s share storm stories.
Prize 5 of 5. Last but certainly not least, we’re giving out a year of free haircuts.
Prize 4 of 5 is a years supply of pomade. You don’t have to worry about using too much or too little because you’re going to get 12 tubs of glue for your brain bucket! Want to try something new each month, be our guest but these beauties from Slick Devil Pomade have been on our shelves since almost day 1 and will get you right as rain!
Prize 3 of 5. We hope you all had a good holiday (or didn’t lose power in HRM). Our third prize goes hand in hand with your new suit from Modern Suiting and a banging new watch from The Camden Watch Company. Our closest buds at Applehead Studio Photography are going to do a portrait session with you. You think you look good now? Wait until these cats take your picture.
Prize 2 of 5: A haircut and a suit can be looked at in the same light: a haircut tailored to your head shape and how your hair grows will compliment you just as well as a suit tailored to your individual body shape. Our friend JJ at Modern Suiting is doing good things keeping the fellas of Halifax and beyond looking good. Remember that watch we posted? It would look nice with a custom made suit eh? Modern Suiting comes to you to get your proper size, you pick out the fabric, the lining, the design and voila... you have yourself a custom made suit. How do we know about this process? Because we have used it. Check out what JJ is up to at https://www.modernsuiting.com/
Prize 1 of 5! On January 15th we will be open 4 years. Not too bad for an idea that wasn't sure if it would see year two when we opened the doors. To celebrate, we are running a give away for the month of January for a pretty banging prize package. With every service done, your name is entered into the draw. Buy a product with it and your name goes in twice. So lets get started with the good stuff. First up is the limited edition Tom Sayers watch from The Camden Watch Company. Only a limited run of these were made and we got our hands on one before it sold out completely. The Tom Sayers limited edition model is dedicated to one of the greatest bare-knuckle boxers of all time. Originally from Brighton, Tom Sayers lived, fought and died in Camden Town, and is now buried in Highgate Cemetery. From illegal boxing matches (the results of which were reportedly followed by Queen Victoria herself) to mysterious tickets to 'nowhere', the tale of Tom Sayers is dark, fascinating, and so very Camden.
