The Shop
Craft over
everything.
Blackwood opened on Clerkenwell Road in 2011. We cut hair for men who care about the result — not the experience theatre. No loud music, no waiting, no upselling you things you don't need.
Our barbers have trained in London and Milan. Every cut is finished by hand. Every client leaves looking exactly like themselves — only sharper.
