"We’re a gentleman's only barber shop. We cater to men’s grooming, you know; everything from haircuts, beard trimming and nasal trimming to cut-throat razor shaves."

The creator of this business wanted a ‘man's space’ where he could get a shave with a real blade, a hot towel and not have to listen to 'women's gossip'.

The original Hawleywood's Barber Shop is located in California; the Newtown branch is the first established outside of the US.
