FRIENDS and family turned up to help Dan Kilvington-Mason launch his new barber shop in a well-known building in Richmond.

The Men’s Room is an apt name as it is in the building on the corner of the Friary Gardens which used to serve as a public convenience.

More recently, it was the town’s tourist information office.

Dan will be offering an appointments system and staying open until 7pm, and a full range of treatments, including massages, facials, manicures, waxing services and beard trims, with a range of products from Dapper Dan. He will be joined in the business by wife Bev, who also runs a successful events company.
