Though they may be called Ruffians, there is nothing shabby or unruly about the smooth skin and even smoother service that you will find at the male grooming barbers. Inspired by the architecture of the old slaughterhouse in which it’s set, the large, open space is full of references; the the bull’s head which rests over the fireplace, for instance, that nods both to the location’s history and the salon’s roots in Scotland. Don’t worry though: the shaves might be cut throat, but they’re not actually cut-throat…
This award-winning barbers is not just a barbers, however. With a social space at the front of the store for customers to chill-out in before their appointment, the salon also offers iPads to use throughout your haircut, as well as a coffee and whisky bar serving seasonal tipples. Not enough for you? Well the custom-made barber chairs are rumoured to be the most luxurious and comfortable chairs on the market. But don’t take our word for it… try it out for yourself!
