You Can Now Get Hair Like Grealish at the UK’s First Ever FIFA World Cup Barbershop
Leading independent distributor to the UK hair and beauty industry, Chris & Sons are opening the first ever FIFA World Cup barbershop that’s fitted with large TV screens showing all the games, a full bar pulling fresh pints of beer and sofas for all customers to relax in.
Andrew Vassiliou, Director of Chris & Sons said, “When it comes to the FIFA World Cup, the international soccer tournament and iconic hairstyles always go hand in hand. Whether it was Ronaldo’s shaved patch during the 2022 tournament, Romania’s bleached-blonde team of ’98, or even Cristiano Ronaldo’s buzz crew cut in 2018, every year a stand-out hairstyle will completely dominate, influencing men’s grooming trends all around the world.”
“Because of this, we wanted to create a unique space where FIFA World Cup fans could come and get their hair cut, watch the games and, most importantly, really get into the spirit of the tournament.”
The new space, which was due to be opened this winter, will now open in 2026 in both London and Manchester. The pop-up style barbershops will feature a fully functioning barbershop with the addition of an equipped bar area, large sofas and many TV screens that will show all of the live games.
For those who are brave enough, there will also be a lucky dip box where customers can randomly select an iconic FIFA world cup hairstyle from bygone years including Ronaldo’s famous trim to Valderrama’s curls.
An online booking form will be available on the Chris & Sons website closer to the time, however, walk-ins will be accepted depending on demand.
