Idris Vale
Clipper work & fades
Trained on short, graphic shapes and still happiest with a fade that holds its line for a month. Quiet in the chair unless you start the conversation.
In Tuesday — Friday
Est. on a quiet corner
A good cut is unhurried.
Willow Paper is a two-chair barber shop built around one idea: nobody should be rushed out of the chair. Classic cuts, hot-towel shaves and patient beard work — by request, or walk in and wait with a coffee.
Tuesday to Saturday Walk-ins before noon Cash or card
How a visit runs
Three chairs' worth of fuss, in two.
We keep the book short on purpose. That leaves room to talk about what you actually want before anything is cut, and to finish properly rather than quickly.
-
The conversation
Five minutes on how your hair grows, how you wear it, and how long you want it to hold before the next visit.
-
The cut
Scissor-over-comb, clipper work or a blend of both — whatever the shape asks for. Hot towel and razor finish on request.
-
The finish
Styled dry so you can see it the way you'll wear it, plus a short note on how to get it back tomorrow morning.
Services
Short list, done well.
Prices start from the figures below and are confirmed in the chair, before we begin. Every service includes the consultation and the finish.

Running late or need to move? Tell us a day ahead and there is nothing to pay. Everything is booked as a request first — we reply with a time that suits the shop and you.
The Barbers
Two chairs, three hands on the floor.
Ask for whoever you like in the request form — or leave it to us and we will put you with whoever has the right hands for the cut.
Marta Okonjo
Beard work & straight razor
Our hot-towel shaves are hers. Patient with coarse and curly beards, and the one to ask if you have never had a razor near your throat before.
In Wednesday — Saturday
Bo Ferreira
Scissor cuts & longer hair
Grows hair out for a living — layers, texture and anything that needs to sit past the collar without losing its shape.
In Thursday — Saturday
The Shop
Tiles, towels, and a kettle that is always on.
Good to Know
The questions we hear most.
Do you take walk-ins?
Most mornings, yes — we hold the first part of the day for whoever turns up. Afternoons are usually requested in advance, so send the form if you want a particular time.
What happens after I send a request?
Someone from the shop replies by email with a time that fits your preferred window, or the nearest one we have. Nothing is charged or confirmed until you reply to that.
It is my first visit — how long should I allow?
Allow an extra fifteen minutes. First visits start with a longer consultation so we can get the shape right rather than guess at it.
Will you cut children's hair?
Gladly, up to around eleven. Earlier slots tend to go better for younger children, and a parent is welcome in the chair beside them.
Can I change or cancel a time?
Reply to the email with a day's notice and there is nothing to settle. Same-day changes we will always try to move rather than lose.
Request a chair
Tell us when suits.
This is a request, not a confirmed booking — send it over and we will come back by email with a time. If you would rather not plan ahead, walk in before noon.
