EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the early 1900s with this print of a hairdressing salon at Paddington Station. Situated below Platform 1, this bustling salon catered primarily to male patrons, evident from the rows of bottles that presumably held shampoo and aftershave. The classic barber chairs lined up against the tiled walls exude an air of sophistication and timeless charm. The attention to detail is remarkable - notice the rotating boot brush hanging on the wall to the right of the image, a testament to the meticulous care given not only to one's appearance but also their footwear. This small yet significant addition speaks volumes about the level of service provided within these hallowed walls. As you immerse yourself in this snapshot from history, you can almost hear snippets of conversation between barbers and clients discussing current affairs or sharing anecdotes. The clinking sounds emanating from porcelain sinks being filled with warm water add another layer of authenticity. This photograph transports us back over a century ago when grooming was an art form and visiting your local barber was an experience steeped in tradition. It serves as a reminder that even amidst bustling train stations like Paddington, there were sanctuaries where men could escape for some pampering and rejuvenation. Preserved by STEAM Museum of GWR (Great Western Railway), this print encapsulates both nostalgia and admiration for a bygone era when style met substance at Paddington Station's hairdressing salon.
