About Tapered

About Tapered

Tapered is more than just a new name above the door — it’s the result of years of dedication, growth, and a shared vision. Five years ago, Lewis took over the shop formerly known as Bow St Barbers. With hard work, long hours, and a real passion for the craft, he built it into a respected and trusted space within the community. In 2022, Jay joined the team, bringing fresh energy, skill, and ambition. Together, they worked side by side, sharpening their craft and steadily building something special. By 2026, it was clear that the next step wasn’t just growth — it was evolution. That’s when Tapered was born. Tapered represents a fresh start for Lewis and Jay — a new venture built on experience, loyalty, and a drive to keep pushing forward. While we’re proud of everything achieved in the Bow St Barbers years, this rebrand marks a new chapter. A stronger identity. A bigger vision. A brand with purpose. Our goal is simple: deliver top-quality cuts, create a welcoming atmosphere, and build Tapered into something that continues to grow — not just as a barbershop, but as a name people recognise and trust. This isn’t just a rebrand.
It’s the future — and we’re only just getting started
