The little barbershop on Lamb Street
Two chairs, two barbers, and a good sixty years of doing this between them. By appointment, in a quiet studio in Leamington, so there is no sitting about waiting your turn.
You will know it by the round sign
A home studio puts some people off before they have seen it, so here it is. Off Lamb Street in Leamington, with the Mr Walter sign on the side of the building and room to pull in out front.
Inside it is a proper little shop, not a chair in the lounge. Proper chairs, proper mirrors, good light, and a floor that gets swept between every cut. One person in the chair, one conversation, and nobody watching the clock behind you.
Nobody has ever left here without a decent yarn.
The bit that never makes it onto the price list.
Scissor cuts
Proper scissor work, the classic seventies cut included. Debs has been doing them for thirty-seven years.
Business styles
A clean, sharp cut that still looks right on Friday. Good for the ones who cannot be back next week.
Beard trims
Shaped, tidied and taken back to where you want it. Booked on its own or with a cut.
Boys' haircuts
First haircuts through to school haircuts, including the ones who would rather be anywhere else.
Debs and Raelene
Between them they have been cutting hair for longer than most Cambridge barbershops have been open.
Debs
OWNER & BARBER
A Leamington local, and the barber here for sixteen years. Thirty-nine years in the hair industry, thirty-seven of them barbering. City & Guilds in hairdressing and a Level 4 commercial barbering qualification.
Traditional barbering and old school styles are what she loves, and it shows in the scissor work.
Raelene
SENIOR BARBER
Over twenty-two years in the hair industry, holding national hair certificates. Experienced across every hair type there is, and a perfectionist about it.
Ask anyone who sits in her chair and they will mention how well they were looked after.
The things people ring up and ask
Where exactly are you?
265 Lamb Street, Leamington, Cambridge. Look for the round Mr Walter sign on the side of the building.
Do you take walk-ins?
No, we work by appointment only. It is the reason you are never sitting on a bench waiting your turn, and it means your time in the chair is yours.
Do you cut children's hair?
Yes. First haircuts through to school haircuts, and we are patient with the ones who would rather be at the park.
Do you do beards?
Yes. Beard trims and shaping, booked on their own or added to a cut.
When are you open?
We work flexible hours around our clients, so the live availability on the booking calendar above is always the accurate answer.
