Shop History

This Barbershop acquired significance for the commercial history of Lisbon by having customers from all over the city and from all generations. According to the application form, it was the first to have washing gutters, bringing greater convenience to customers who, for example, did not need to get up from the barber chair to wash their hair. Another singularity of this Barbershop was the creation of a bar, purposely for customers to settle in while waiting to be attended to, as well as the shoe shiner service available on site. Currently, and because its history is widely publicized on social networks, itineraries, magazines and films, it is also visited and frequented by many tourists to appreciate and enjoy the experience of the city’s traditional trade/service. It is one of the few barbershops that still retains its authenticity and originality.
