Pall Mall Barbers is a barbershop chain with six locations in London and one in New York City. The company is owned and managed by Richard Marshall.
The first Pall Mall Barbers store is located on a historic site at 27 Whitcomb Street, near Trafalgar Square, London. Records indicate that the building has been a barber shop since the original Pall Mall Toilet Salon was established in 1896.[1] Marshall purchased the premises in 2005 and renamed it Pall Mall Barbers.[2]
History
Pall Mall Barbers was founded by Richard Marshall in 2005 when he converted the former Pall Mall Toilet Company into the original Pall Mall Barbers location at Trafalgar Square. Marshall expanded the brand from 1 store to 7, the most recent one being in New York City.[3]
By the end of the 2000s leading into the 2010s, the "wet shave" was experiencing a resurgence in popularity thanks to the introduction of replaceable blades in straight razors.[4]
