We have all heard the legends of Jack The Ripper, the mysterious and elusive serial killer active in the largely impoverished areas around the Whitechapel district of London in 1888. It seemed fitting for Master Barber and Founder, Halil Ismail, to pay homage to the oddity of Jack and form a brand around his successful Turkish barbering business.

Our store at No.4 Toynbee Street has become a landmark within Spitalfields not only for its great cuts and shave but also as a tourist attraction for many who take part in the ripper tour.

Jack is the grandson of the Ripper. Now he’s back in town (a new man so to speak) and his main priority is to keep all the gentlemen of London looking trim and proppa.

We all learnt our trade from a young age watching our Fathers and practicing on relatives. That’s right, they took the “cuts” so you don’t have to!

The master barbers you see in our shops today all follow the code of craftsmanship that Jack carved into his ethos.
