Our story

The Biscombe legacy

Some barbershops follow trends. This one has outlived them, one generation at a time.

Where it began

Fuaad Biscombe opens the chair

Faizel's grandfather Fuaad ran the shop for around 24 years, building a name one haircut at a time and making Arts part of the neighbourhood.

Since 1987

Faizel picks up the clippers

Faizel Biscombe has been cutting hair here since 1987. More than three decades behind the same chair, and clients who started as schoolboys now bring their sons.
