Basingstoke’s Top of Town will be welcomiing yet another barber shop soon, adding to the growing cluster of salons in the area.

The latest addition will open at 4 Winchester Street, a 768sqft space that was previously home to The Bengal Brasserie.

Renovation work is already underway to transform the former restaurant into a new hair-cutting salon.

This is directly opposite the established House of Handsom salon and just steps away from Golden Scissors, two of the many barber shops already operating in the vicinity.

With this new business, the total number of barbers and salons in the area - spanning Winchester Street, Church Street, Wote Street, and London Street - will exceed 10.

This follows the opening of another barber shop at the former Timpson unit at the corner of Market Place and London Street.
