The first Men’s Hair Workshop of the year took place on Monday 23rd January at Alan d Academy in Smithfield, London with a unique opportunity to learn from an array of mentors from different industry backgrounds. Members joined Ian Rotman from HOB; Jean Louis Canonville from Alan d Academy; Ollie Mehra from Th1 Hair; Amy O’Keefe from Hare & Bone; Richie Kadir from Billi Currie and Jeremy Roca Ripoll from Rush.

The event was hosted by Edward Hemmings who ensured the night ran smoothly and grouped the students so everyone could get the most out of the education available.

Everyone was present with their own model and the masters guided them on an almost one to one basis on top tips and skills to enhance their finishes and techniques.

The students had a fantastic evening, and Edward Hemmings concluded the night with a certificate presentation.

Edward Hemmings said “Another brilliant workshop providing so much education. It is always an eagerly anticipated event and the atmosphere in our Academy is always packed full of excitement. It was great to see so much variance in men’s hairdressing, including clipper work and scissor over comb. What a great night!”

With Valentine’s on the horizon, men all over the world will be preparing for a day of wining, dining and dates. Whether you’re a sharp dressed dapper chap, a clean shaven fellow or a rugged guy with tussled hair and a full bushy beard, grooming is essential no matter what. Win their heart by putting in the effort. Pall Mall Barbers’ Master Barber, Erin Wentworth, has shared her top tips to help you through unscathed. She’s also handpicked the products you’ll need or might want to receive as a gift, so start hinting now.

Pall Mall Barbers Fitzrovia Safety Razor Steamed Ash Shaving Set
If there’s one day when grooming should be your number one priority, Valentine’s is it! Your date will expect you to make an effort, and a clean shave is ideal. What better way to do this than with this beautifully designed classic shaving set? The opulently detailed, Fitzrovia Safety Razor Shaving Set, gives you a little snippet of Pall Mall Barbers London in the comfort of your own home with its chrome plated stand, handmade badger bristle shaving brush and fine steamed ash covering. The safety razor is a professional inspired tool made easy for home use, to help you along the way to a professional-esque shave.

RRP £127.00

Erin’s top tip: ‘Use the Pall Mall Barbers Sandalwood and Clove Shave Oil prior to shaving. This creates a barrier between your skin and the blade to prevent any nicks to the skin.’

Pall Mall Barbers Sandalwood and Clove Beard Oil
Beards are still very much in vogue so you might not want to shave it off in haste. Keep your beard super soft and remove the inevitability of beard rash from your other half with the luxuriously lavish Pall Mall Barbers Beard Oil. Formulated with three different oils; sweet almond, jojoba and vitamin E, it leaves both your beard and skin soft for a protected, moisturised and smooth finish.

RRP £27.00

Erin’s top tip: ‘Make sure you’re applying beard oil to a clean beard to increase absorption. Any excess can be slicked across brows to keep them in place too.’

Pall Mall Barbers Sandalwood & Clove Cologne
The Pall Mall Barbers classic signature cologne is specially designed for men. It’s the perfect finishing touch for the skin after grooming, and perfect for both a day and evening date. A subtle hit of spicy cloves and rose, is combined with lively, woody hints of cardamom and almond. This clean, energising scent is further enriched with sandalwood tones, and base notes of sweet vanilla and tobacco. It is perfect for keeping skin fragranced all day long. Top Notes: Lemon, Black Pepper, Cardamom. Mid Notes: Lavender, Rose, Clove, Almond. Base Notes: Sandalwood, Tobacco, Vanilla, Tonka Bean, Musk, Amber.

RRP £40.00
Erin’s top tip: ‘Be sure not to rub the skin after you spray or dab on your cologne. This is said to alter the scent and the Pall Mall Barbers Sandalwood and Clove Cologne is too good to be altered.’
Pall Mall Barbers shops are located in Trafalgar Square, Fitzrovia, Westminster and Bishopsgate
