The concept “barber shop” has its roots in medieval Greece, where the “barberion” (greek: μπαρμπερεῖον) was a gathering place exclusively for men, male grooming and care. For most of us, when we hear it, scenes from a Greek movie come to mind, with the white apron, the classic barber’s brush, the falsetto, the brigantine in the hair. The space, with its aristocratic furniture, walnut chairs, ornate mirrors, are elements that take us back to another era, where the barbershop was, first of all, synonymous with men’s socializing.

Even today, visiting a barbershop is a lifetime experience. They mark the space where every man, regardless of age, can enjoy services such as haircuts, shaving, but also facial treatments, beauty masks, hair removal, without feeling a single moment of embarrassment.

“Clippers Barbers”, on 15 Egiptou Street, in Ladadika, where the pulse of Thessaloniki beats, is the ultimate synonym for men’s grooming. There the old and the new mix, creating a unique mosaic dominated by the stone element of the oldest neighborhood of Thessaloniki, and the most modern and sophisticated decorative elements such as the large mirrors with ringlights, the leather armchairs with the gilded elements, the impressive graffiti dominate the space.

The barber who creates works of art

Yiannis Valavanis, who welcomes us every day at “Clippers Barbers”, has been involved in hairdressing when he were very young. Very soon, he was won over by men’s grooming, specifically the barber sector. His dream, for a place where he can practice his art, taking off the male charm and beauty, became a reality, with a fellow traveler, Ignatios Chalaftis, a man familiar with the straits of Ladadika and the art of business.

With the man always at the center, Yiannis Valavanis, creates new trends in haircuts, fades, new tribal designs and even head shaving. With endless creativity, it is waiting for us to take off our style and masculinity. After all, the “Clippers” team is always up-to-date on new trends, while Yiannis Valavanis has a doctorate in barbering.

One name, one story… “Clippers Barbers”

The name “Clippers Barbers” is no accident. It is the composition of the most famous clipper, but also the type of merchant sailing ship of the mid-19th century, most famously the “Cutty Sark”, which was used to transport tea. Thus, with a magical play on words, both the work tool and the shop’s proximity to the port and the liquid element are captured in its name.

In “Clippers Barbers”, the traditional location in the narrows of Ladadika, the old-time sailor with the monocle and the boat with the waves blend harmoniously with the graffiti. After all, that’s how the sails of its logo are explained.
