22 Thatcher Barbershop + Cafe
It begins when you enter the door. Distressed brick walls, dark wood shelving, monochrome floors.. you are transported to the 1920’s as your ears digest the soft jazz from the turntable. As you sink into the chair, your barber accurately determines the haircut you want. You start off with a cold towel, an instant mood-changer from the humid outdoors. The haircut lasts a while, as most haircuts do, but you know that each move has intent. Afterwards, your barber washes your hair and dries it without you having to get up from your chair. A perfect hot towel comes and it further relaxes you — a calmness only deepened by the barber massage that follows. Finally, your hair is dried and coiffed to perfection with a mindfully selected pomade.
You look at the mirror and you see a man ready to take over the world. You head to the bar where a drink is prepared for you with utter craftsmanship and care.
Their beverage services can stand alone anywhere: third wave coffee sourced meticulously and prepared accurately, and single malt whiskies for every palate. Their ice shaken tea comes with a wonderful froth that helps you savor every sip, sweet with a hint of tartness from the frozen calamansi cube.
