The branch opened in 2006 and is now owned and led by second-generation family members Andreas and Adam Lazarou, continuing a Cardiff barbering and hairdressing business established in 1966.

The service menu combines traditional and contemporary barbering, including buzz cuts, scissor cuts, textured crops, skin fades, beard trimming and shaping, and hot towel shaves.
