Time was, men’s hairstyles could sometimes be considered a bit… well… boring. That may sound like sacrilege coming from a barbershop, but it is an unavoidable fact that men’s hairstyles were more conservative.
It is fair to say that, when many of us decided to grow a beard for the first time, we assumed that we could simply stop shaving, and that nature would take care of the rest.
Let’s be honest, when it comes to looking after your hair, most of you reading this probably don’t put as much effort into it as you ideally would. With only so many hours in a day, concessions have to be made somewhere.
So, unless you’ve been living under a rock for the past few years, you’re sure to have noticed one fashion trend for men that almost every man in the country has hopped on board with: beards!
Here at Kensington Barbers, we are passionate about the artistry and the history of the barber shop.
As Christmas quickly approaches, many of you may be considering visiting the barbers for a quick trim and styling so that you are looking your best for all the festivities to come. If you are feeling this way, then you aren’t alone, as Christmas Eve is, in fact, one of the most popular days of the year for men to visit their barbers.
