The business, which began as a small space with a single chair, has evolved to its current form while retaining its original location. The founder's sons, who learned the trade from a young age, are now responsible for keeping the tradition and spirit of the establishment alive.
“"When we were little, we loved coming here. In fact, we had to stand on a stool to reach."
Over eighty years, Escamilla Perruquers has served multiple generations of clients, some of whom travel from towns like Sabadell, Rubí, or Sant Cugat, and even from Chicago, to maintain their loyalty. This longevity is built on customer satisfaction and the ability to adapt to new trends.
The establishment also holds anecdotes from the past, such as the impromptu guitar music sessions organized by the founder or the curious method of marking priests' tonsures with a coin. The trade has changed, with fewer shaves and more haste, but the barbershop has successfully adapted to fashion, including the resurgence of short hair and fades.
“"We are like confessionals; people tell you things."
With a loyal clientele and new customers arriving through word-of-mouth, the brothers continue the family legacy, making the barbershop a meeting point and a trusted space that is part of the collective memory of the neighborhood and Terrassa.
