Lazy Barber

Lazy Barber is located in Kungsholmen, close to Lilla Essingen. And entering this place is like stepping into an American barbershop in the 1950s.

The owner himself has been around the longest and can be proud of over 40 years in the industry.

Honest Al’s

This place is a lot of punk. That’s right, punk. Honest Al’s is run by the former punk rocker and very experienced Al together with his team. You’ll find his barbershop in Södermalm and Mariatorget, and with humor, quality and service, it has become very popular over the years. ‘Not your average barbershop,’ as they describe it themselves. You can buy grooming products that keep your hair and beard in good condition in both the store and on the website. You can also grab some merchandise.

Mr Nils

We end the list with a true classic – in a new modern style. Today, this historic hair salon is called Mr Nils, but in the same premises, located in the middle of central Stockholm, this men’s hairdresser has been taking care of men who want to look good in their hair since 1885. This makes it one of Stockholm’s oldest addresses for male grooming. The salon’s previous owner Gunther Panzel took over the premises in 1971 and then established G.H. Herrsalong. It was then taken over by another owner who ran it until the beginning of 2021.

Today, the new owners have renovated but retained the premises’ classic feel of an oasis in Norrmalm, a stone’s throw from Stureplan. In this ‘home outside the home,’ they’ve been inspired by men’s salons in London and invest in feeling and quality in their shaves and haircuts. ‘He gets up from the chair and immediately longs to return’ is the feeling Mr. Nils himself wants to give you as a customer. And after a visit here, you understand exactly what he means.
