A BARBERSHOP in Windermere has teamed up with an internationally renowned barber to offer a luxury male grooming experience.

The Original Barbershop on Crescent Road will become Joseph Lanzante at The Original Barbershop and will undergo a refurbishment.

The refit will be finished in a timeless barbershop style, complete with marble and mahogany.

Joseph often visits the scenic Cumbrian town and saw the opportunity to partner with current owners.

“I love Windermere," he said. "It is beautiful and when the chance came along I jumped at it. The people of this town have been incredibly supportive and there is a huge buzz about reopening Joseph Lanzante at The Original Barbershop.

"It is exciting for me to put my brand next to a well-established barbershop and to work as a team to bring it to the next level."

New treatments will be available including Joseph’s classic Cut Throat Shave, which the stylist believes is an important aspect of the industry that isn’t used widely enough.

The shop has three chairs and Joseph is recruiting two new barbers, or hairdressers who are willing to go through his rigorous training to meet his high standards.

Having already made a name for himself as one of the top trainers in the UK with his training academy, Joseph also successfully runs Joseph Lanzante at The Mens Room, Clitheroe.
