A new premium men’s grooming destination in Kingston, Arturo is where community and connection meet exceptional care.

.EDITS
WHERE: BARBERSHOP, 30 TREWHITT ROAD, NEWCASTLE UPON TYNE, NE6 5LU
Mich Lange, owner of .edits barbershop, tells us: “At .edits, we redefine men’s grooming by merging modern barbering with precision hairdressing to craft our signature clean look. Our creative space isn’t just about hair—it’s a hub for fashion, photography and culture, reflecting the energy of our location in Heaton.”
RADIUS-SOLIS
WHERE: UNIT 1C, PORTLAND BUSINESS PARK, HANDSWORTH, S13 8HS
After working as a barber for 9 years, Donal O’Leary decided to open his own industrial barbershop in Sheffield, striving to create a truly family-inclusive environment. Speaking of family, the shop certainly stands out thanks to the 1970 Ford Mustang in the centre of the space—part of Donal’s inheritance from his grandad.
PROJECT SEVEN
WHERE: UNIT 12, DUKES COURT, DUKE ST, MACCLESFIELD, SK11 6NN
Project Seven’s aesthetic rejects the polished perfection of traditional barbering spaces. Instead, it thrives on imperfection—embracing the grit, texture, and character of the streets. Exposed surfaces, industrial accents and graffitiinspired elements set the tone, giving the shop a raw, lived-in feel that resonates with hiphop culture. Discussing the design, owner Jake Dean says: “Imagine the vibe of a skatepark or the energy of a back alley in Manchester. It’s not pristine; it’s full of life, edge, and creativity.”
