Nicos Pavlou and Stavros Christoudolakis
The barbers are back and this time they mean business
When Nicos Pavlou and Stavros Christoudolakis were told their barber shop business was to be evicted from the premises where it had been for 102 years they were as shocked as they were devastated.
Ever since 1911, men arriving at Hammersmith & City line tube station have visited that barbers for haircuts, shaves and beard trims. But, in 2013, Transport for London told Alexander Barbers it had to move out of the station as it was about to undergo a massive overhaul.
Nicos Pavlou
‘I will never forget the day we were told we had to close,’ says Nicos, who has worked as a barber for more than 30 years.
‘When I received the notice about the termination of the lease I closed the door to the shop that evening and looked around in disbelief. My uncle, Andreas, took over the business there in the 1960s, then my father, Demetris, worked there from the 1970s, and I started there in the late 1980s. We had all worked so hard to build our loyal client base and amass years of experience. All of that was about to be lost. We were devastated.’
To their astonishment, their customers as well as the wider community were equally upset by the decision to bring to an end a century long tradition of having a barbers in the station.
The shop also had many loyal football fans among its clientel. Kevin Keegan, the former England footballer and ESPN television presenter, and his co-host, Ray Stubbs, used it as the backdrop for an advert for their show.
‘We were determined that we weren’t going to give up without a fight,’ Nicos continues.
‘But it was the reaction of our customers which astounded us. It was incredible, we had such an outpouring of support – they wrote letters to the transport authority expressing their outrage that we were being forced to close.
‘It was that wonderful reaction that convinced us that we had to make sure we brought the business back to the tube station where it had all begun.’
It wasn’t until January this year that Nicos spotted a story in a newspaper about a money lending chain closing many of its stores. Nicos and Stavros knew that one such shop was right next to the station.
‘I went down to that Hammersmith money lending shop and they said their branch was going to close. So, we got the landlord’s details and secured the shop. It was a great day – we were going to reopen at the tube station once again.’
For months, Nicos, 51, and Stavros Christoudolakis, 36, toiled away refurbishing the premises. They created a classic barber style look using reclaimed London brick to cover an entire wall. They they fitted immaculate wood panelling on another wall. And, in a nod to their former premises inside the tube station, white tiling, similar to the type used in many Victorian tube stations, was also used. Then there are the classic leather barber chairs as well as leather arm chairs where customers wait.
‘It took us nearly seven weeks to get it finished so it had a classic barber style,’ Nicos adds.
For Stavros, Alexander Barbers at the tube station was the very shop he had visited as a boy which encouraged him to train as a barber under Nicos.
Stavros Christoudolakis
Stavros says, ‘We always keep up with the latest trends. Hipster hair cuts and big beards are in. We often get men coming in asking for a particular look – David Beckham is a favourite as is the Brad Pitt hair cut he had in the film Fury. My personal favourite is Daniel Craig’s hair cut in 007 which is a great look. Also popular are traditional hot towel shaves. I am just so excited about our new barbershop.’
You will find Alexander Barbers at the entrance to the Hammersmith & City and Circle line tube station.
