The House

A craft passed down, sharpened daily.

Founded in 2011 above a tailor on Berwick Street, EMZ's Clipper is Soho's quietly devoted barbershop. We blend Italian scissor work, Turkish hot-towel ritual and a deep respect for British gentlemen's style — all under one dimly-lit roof.

Word of Mouth

Loved by gentlemen across London.

The best haircut I've had in London — and I've tried them all. The hot-towel finish alone is worth the trip.
James Whitman
Soho
Genuinely the only barbershop where I trust the consultation. They listen, then they deliver, every time.
Daniel Okafor
Mayfair
Walked in scruffy, walked out feeling like a Bond villain. The skin fade was immaculate.
