THE PLACES
TIME., SHOREDITCH
@timeshoreditch
Founded by former It List Rising Stars Tommy Cunliffe and Callum McDonald, along with fellow barber Dom Holt, time. is on a mission to live up to its name. The main objective? For the space to be somewhere for locals to come together and have a good time. “We felt like somewhere along the line, the position of barber shop as a pillar of the community had been lost… and we wanted to change that,” explains the trio. They’ve taken special care to curate the ideal space, with thanks to Chris Tidy Architects – barber chairs from Japan, a coffee brew bar and bespoke joinery (because it’s all in the details). Family-run workshop Duel Works created all the work stations to exact measurements and specifications, and the mirrors are a favourite element. “We feel they only enhance our theory of time being the most important factor,” they explain. “They’re as old as the hills, took ages to refurbish, but are so worth it.” But more important than the interiors is the vibe they’re aiming to create – attentive and tailored but also friendly, inclusive and relaxed. We believe time is on their side…
