V for Vitor! Yes - SG star barber goes solo in Tollington!
V for Vitor! Yes - SG star barber goes solo in Tollington!
‘anything for the weekend?’
Good news for smart Stroud Greeners!! One of N London’s best and friendliest barbers is setting up on his own in the throbbing heart of ‘da Green’.
Hurray! Vitor, the unassuming Portuguese star of the odd ball shop ‘Chaps and Dames’ in Tollington Park, has justopened the doors of his own barber shop . It’s on the same street – just down before the merry Park Tavern at ? 164 Tollington Park Road, N4 3AJ at the legendary SG ‘Nandos’ crossroads. I warmly recommend you make a visit to give your ‘barnet’ a new year treat and turn a few heads outside Tescos (easy) or the Dairy (a bit more of a challenge, I admit).
Go on, you know you’re ‘werrf it’ (!!)
Vitor has cut the hair of my whole family from 4 year old tot to grinning granny and all the fussy kids, teenagers and glamour-puss wife in between. We all have him to thank for keeping us smart and cheerful . A nicer guy and more modest bloke you could not wish to meet, and anyone will tell you he is a really strong, technically excellent, hair dresser/barber at a very reasonable price. In fact I am told several slick Hornsey Road policemen make a bee-line to him for very arresting hair cuts – not to mention the most fashionable kids at IAMS school, and the dapper manager of Christopher Charles Estate Agents!! My GQ-styled brother from the US came and went there and said (quote) ‘He may sport a Kojak cut, but boy, that dude can cut hair’. So, there you have it.
Vitor was, of course, the star and humming mainstay of ‘Chaps and Dames’ which started as an arty barbers and lost its way somewhat with a bizarre mix of dusty merchandise, blaring TVs and often a barky dog (and sometimes barky owner, it has been alleged). Thank goodness Vitor is now able to shine in his own gaff without these distractions. Discerning Stroud Greeners - please go and support this excellent local barber.
I would not normally write such a rave review but, at this difficult economic time, I really think this classy clipper deserves to succeed with his terrific tonsorial business and you could be the ones to help him turn a close shave into a permanent wave.
C’mon, say it: V for Vitor!!

But good luck to Vitor! I'm sure that Paul (is that his name, the annoying owener of Chaps and Dames?) is cross with him however.
I for one, wish him the very best and will support him by continuing to use him as a my local hairdresser of choice.
I hope others do too.
at leasthe doesn;t copy and paste pre-qritten paragrpahs into posts right next to each other.
I just think decent people, who work hard, deserve all the support they can get.
Vitor has been a star performer, proving to be the main draw at Chaps & Dames. Having had hair cuts in fancier places, I'm happy to have a competent hairdresser in the area who can work with scissors and not just an electric shaver.
Of course Vitor will not be for everyone, but that's the beauty of living in London where one is surrounded by choice.
For me, I'll continue with the choice that I've made.
p.s. apologies fo rmy spelling, it was an unintended tribute.
