Barberette in photos

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!!!

Bar-bar-bar-bar-Barberette - now in East London hipsters


Barberette, your gender neutral friendly barber has found a new hub of her own, situated in Hackney, East London (E5). Earlier this year, we visited the community-led "A Hair's Breadth Exhibition" inspired by the patrons in Barberette's hydrollic chair. Read our interview with Barberette.


The Details:

1.       Address:  Warwick Works, Studio 11, Downs Road, London, E5 8QJ
2.       Bookings:  Appointment only via a new booking system – implemented very soon.
3.       Official starting day: 3rd September 2013
4.       Last day at Red Scissors: 31st August 2013

What to look forward to:
  • Creative community space to share, do events, pop ups, music, hang out, workshops, the possibilities are endless
  • Promoting the gender neutral pricing ethos
  • Efficient online booking system, which will allow you to select what hair service you need, with fair pricing and timing. And yes you will receive a confirmation email! Yay
  • Away from the busy, noisy Camden streets into the chilled, quirky Hackney Downs area, a minute away from the Russet and independent Village Green shops, a  stone's throw away from Dalston and Stoke Newington high streets
  • Great overground, rail and bus links – all the travel details are here.
