When a barbershop is trusted by its clientele, it becomes more than a place to get a fade or shape your beard. It becomes an institution. Over the years, Chaps & Co has earned that title with its clients in the UAE, becoming the number 1 rated barbershop in the country. Since March, that same level of service can be found in Riyadh at Nojoud Mall – where Chaps & Co has set up shop.

Avoiding the garish white lights and clinical surfaces of many modern barbershops, Chaps opts for its signature dark wood-paneled, leather-trimmed décor and Takara Belmont chairs. You’re not there for a haircut, you’re there for an experience.

Beyond the vibe, the most important part of a barbershops is – you’ve guessed it – the barbers. At the Riyadh location the team has been assembled from all over the world, with experts packing their scissors and blades from the UK to the Philippines.

Following successful outposts across Dubai, and New York, how did it end up in Riyadh? Through a partnership with Prince Saud bin Mishal who happened to be a customer at Chaps & Co’s d3 branch in Dubai.

The outlet at Nojoud Mall offers classic haircuts, hot towel shave, coloring and keratin treatments, manicures, facials, and whole host of other grooming goodness – which you can book through the Chaps & Co app and website or on Fresha.
