Premios soy barbudo, a Spanish award that recognizes the best new barbershop in Spain, recently recognized Baron Blades Boy Club for its welcoming atmosphere.
The store proudly displays this award, along with the five-star rating given by the award givers, on its front desk to show all customers they are receiving the best service.
CharlieBYB, a barber, and Garrido, a hairdresser, were surprised to receive prizes so quickly after opening their San Pedro shop only in July.
Clearly what was once an ‘idea’ in their minds has not only landed well in this Spanish community but also with those that are tasked with recognising the best barbers in the nation.
The national recognition has been confirmation that the shop’s owners ‘are going in the right direction’.

Charlie had worked in Puerto Banus with Garrido when Charlie decided he wanted to start his own shop.
‘I didn’t like the service being offered and knew that it could improve,’ he said.
Improving the service offered by barbers is exactly what the pair have done: as one young man left the building he said that ‘he usually does not have beards trimmed with barbers because it hurts but here it’s better’.
Garrido is quick to point out that the hot towels and premium services are what makes this trim painless.
In addition to winning the award for best new barber in Zaragoza, the business also won the award of best new design.

When you enter the San Pedro store it becomes clear why judges recognised its interiors – with black furniture, a red skateboard, plants, and drawings on the walls, the shop immediately draws you in.
Behind the payment counter is a shelf with books about everything from tattoos and hairdressing history to framed photos of hairdressers in action.
‘The design was only an idea in my head and the award recognised that the effort we put into making this idea a reality was worth it,’ said Charlie.
The interior of the shop is especially exciting for football fans. Two Manchester City shirts, signed by the star striker Eerling haaland, are hung on its walls.
‘The first time I cut Haaland’s hair was in my old salon and then through contacts I got his number and cut his hair at his house,’ Charlie stated proudly.

Football shirts are not the only items of clothing present inside the store – a clothing rail is the home to branded Baron Blade Boys Club t-shirts that are worn by staff and can be purchased by customers.
The most loyal customers receive an exclusive t-shirt upon purchasing a membership to the barber’s ‘cult’.
The 200 fee per year places you in an elite group of people who offer you a personalized haircut tracking sheet, free drinks for both yourself and a friend on your birthday, and quarterly promotions.
Beyond these benefits, ‘cult members’ also get access to reserved slots in the schedule, direct contact with their barber through their personal number and a monthly product promotion.
This promotion is on a Dick Johnson product, the only brand which the barbers use because it allows them to deliver ‘a grooming experience that’s precise and refined’.
