Pricilla
Priscilla brings a distinctive background to Pall Mall Barbers Kings Cross, combining her early experience in women’s hairdressing with nine years dedicated specifically to barbering and men’s grooming.
Her career in hair began at just 15 years old, when she entered women’s hairdressing. That early experience introduced her to cutting, shape, movement and the creative possibilities of working with hair, but over time she became increasingly drawn towards barbering.
What interested Priscilla was not simply the haircut itself. She was attracted to the way men’s grooming brings different elements together: the haircut, beard, facial hair and shave all contributing to one overall appearance.
For Priscilla, that made barbering a complete creative process.
Today, as an independent barber at Pall Mall Barbers Kings Cross, she works across short and longer men’s hairstyles, fades, scissor cutting, beard grooming and wet shaving, with the client’s own preferences remaining central to the direction of the service.
From Hairdressing to Barbering
Priscilla’s journey started in women’s hairdressing, giving her an early understanding of hair shape, structure and longer cutting techniques. As her career developed, however, she discovered that the structure of men’s hair and grooming suited the way she liked to work.
She became particularly interested in looking at the complete shape of the head and face rather than treating the haircut as a standalone element. A haircut can affect the balance of a beard. The beard can influence how the jawline appears. The amount of length left through the top and sides can change the overall silhouette.
For Priscilla, these elements work together. That interest eventually led her to transition completely into barbering, where she has now spent nine years developing her experience in men’s hair and grooming.
Nine Years Dedicated to Barbering
Priscilla’s years behind the barber chair have allowed her to work across a broad range of men’s hairstyles and grooming preferences. Her background means she is comfortable approaching both shorter barbering and hairstyles that require more length, movement, and scissor work.
That versatility can be particularly useful for men who do not fit neatly into one haircut category. Some clients may want a short skin fade. Others may want to retain considerably more length. Someone else may want to reshape an existing style rather than make a dramatic change.
For Priscilla, the important starting point is understanding what the client wants to keep, what he would like to change, and how he wants the finished style to work with his everyday life.
Priscilla’s Barbering Specialisms
Priscilla’s core barbering interests include:
- Precision scissor cutting
- Skin fades
- Fade haircuts
- Longer men’s hairstyles
- Restyles
- Beard shaping and sculpting
- Beard maintenance
- Wet shaving
- Men’s grooming
- Haircut maintenance
Her background across different areas of hair allows her to work with men who prefer everything from short, structured styles to longer silhouettes.
Precision Scissor Cutting
Priscilla has a particular interest in men’s scissor cutting. Scissor work can be important when a client wants to retain length, introduce movement or create a hairstyle that does not rely entirely on very short clipper work. It can suit classic men’s haircuts, professional hairstyles and longer styles where maintaining the correct shape and balance is particularly important.
For men searching for a scissor cut in Kings Cross, Priscilla’s background in both hairdressing and barbering gives this area an important place within her profile.
Skin Fades
Priscilla also enjoys working with skin fades, with particular attention to creating gradual transitions through the sides and back. A skin fade can be combined with many different styles on top, from shorter textured haircuts to styles that retain considerably more length.
The right fade direction depends on the appearance the client wants, his existing hairstyle, and how frequently he wants to maintain the shorter sections of the haircut. For clients who prefer a sharper contrast through the sides, skin fades remain one of Priscilla’s key barbering interests.
Beard Shaping and Grooming
Priscilla sees facial hair as part of the wider appearance rather than something completely separate from the haircut. Beard length, cheek lines, neckline, and overall shape can influence how the haircut and face work together.
As facial hair grows, the original shape can begin to soften, certain sections may become heavier, and the beard may become less straightforward to manage. Priscilla’s interest in beard shaping and beard maintenance allows clients to discuss how they want their facial hair to sit alongside their haircut and how much length they want to retain.
Wet Shaving
Wet shaving forms another part of Priscilla’s interest in traditional men’s grooming. For men who prefer a clean-shaven appearance or want shaving incorporated into their wider grooming routine, a wet shave provides another direction alongside haircut and beard services.
Priscilla’s appreciation of the full male grooming process hair, beard and shave is one of the reasons this part of barbering originally attracted her.
Longer Men’s Hairstyles
Priscilla is also comfortable working with longer men’s hair, an area where her earlier hairdressing experience remains particularly relevant. Long hair can require a different approach from shorter clipper-focused barbering.
As length increases, weight distribution, layers, movement, and the overall silhouette become increasingly important. Without the right shape, longer hair may become heavier or more difficult to style as it grows. Priscilla enjoys shaping longer hairstyles so clients can retain the length they like while considering how the haircut will move, sit, and develop between appointments.
Barbering and Confidence
For Priscilla, men’s grooming is closely connected with how someone wants to present himself in everyday life. A client may be maintaining his usual haircut, preparing for an important meeting, getting ready for a date, travelling, attending a wedding, or simply reaching the point when his hair or beard has become more difficult to manage.
The right direction will not necessarily be the same for every man. Hair type, facial hair, preferred style, working environment, morning routine and maintenance preferences can all influence the choice. Priscilla therefore encourages clients to communicate what they like about their current appearance, what they would prefer to change, and what they realistically want to maintain once they leave the barbershop.
For her, barbering is ultimately about the client rather than the barber. The aim is to listen with intention and work towards a result that reflects the individual sitting in the chair.
Life Outside the Barbershop
Away from barbering, Priscilla enjoys running, travelling, spending quality time with her family, and reading books focused on self-development and mindset. Staying active gives her an opportunity to reset outside work, while travelling allows her to experience different places and perspectives. Her interest in personal growth also reflects a desire to continue learning and developing, both personally and professionally. That curiosity and positive energy remain an important part of the approach she brings back to her work behind the barber chair.
