OS Lifestyle opened ten years ago with the vision of becoming the first carbon-neutral barber in the UK. At locations in Chelsea and Hackney Wick (and Brighton), founders Joseph and George have stayed true to their original commitment: as well as serving up world-class cuts, they participate in reforestation schemes and partnerships with likeminded lifestyle brands such as Evo and Malin + Goetz. They’ve even created their own sustainable shampoo bar for use in the shops.
