We popped in to see Barberette Klara in her new home. We took some pictures because we were so impressed with the salon and wanted to share this with you. As well as getting your barnet sorted, Klara offers an exhibition wall, a community noticeboard, a mini bookcase of lesbian and hair literature and a few games to boot. Klara is going out of her way to make her salon a welcoming space.
 

 
Klara has some great ideas so watch this space as this gender neutral Barber has big plans and Planet London are looking forward to supporting her in these plans!!!
