Barbearia Oliveira Estrela
Part of “Lojas com Histórico (shops with a history)” program, Barbearia Oliveira first opened its doors in 1970
This barbershop pioneered comfort, and is celebrated as the first barbershop in Lisbon that introduced built-in hair-washing basins at the stations. This meant that clients didn’t have to stand up from the barbers chair to have their hair washed
This location was a trendsetter at the time, introducing a dedicated waiting bar alongside an in-house shoe shine station to maximise comfort
Nowadays, having a waiting area & a hair-washing basin are standards we expect in all barbershops. But it’s important to remember that it wasn’t always the case. It’s because of such innovations that we have our creature comforts today
