SAVOUR ALL FIVE SENSES AT EAGLE AND BEAR
This December we will hope to have something special at our shop for all five of your senses to enjoy.
To TASTE, we have Baileys, mince pies and festive chocolates on our coffee table.
To SMELL, we have the sweet smell of dried oranges, cinnamon and pinecones in the shop.
To HEAR, we have curated our very own playlist that only the best Christmas songs make the cut.. with many of our normal bluesy, jazzy songs still playing in between.
To SEE, you can enjoy our tasteful and colorful Christmas decorations in our shop.
To TOUCH, you can relax in our leather chairs as we provide you with what we do best – provide you with an outstanding haircut.
BOOK NOW FOR YOUR CHRISTMAS HAIRCUT
We are nearly fully booked for Christmas week, and we now only have very limited spaces throughout December.
With December usually being the busiest month of the year socially, you want to look and feel your best, so please make sure you book your appointment well in advance. We are opening the shop on extra days during December for maximum availability for our clients but once the appointments are booked up, there won’t be any more dates added to the diary. We do not squeeze clients in to get a couple more ££ in the till… We want to make sure you are given 40 full precious minutes for The Customary Cut & Style or 30 minutes of full relaxation for The Beard Shape which includes a luxury hot towel.
