Popular Tyneside hair and beauty chain Boilerhouse has expanded again with the opening of its first gentlemen’s salon.

Boilerhouse Gentleman, the brainchild of owner and stylist Felix Jones, has opened in a redeveloped building at The Fleming on Burdon Terrace in , Newcastle, providing hair services - as well as a pint or a whisky for customers.

Boilerhouse originally opened its doors in 1985 on Acorn Road in Jesmond, led by Mr Jones’ parents Kim Le-Neveu and Steve Jones, and over the last 36 years the family has developed a long-standing reputation and loyal customer base.

In 2017, Mr Jones opened the company’s second salon, Boilerhouse Ouseburn.

Boilerhouse Gentleman is based in the redeveloped Gatehouse, at the entrance to Adderstone Group’s Fleming building in Jesmond.

The Gatehouse is Grade II listed and has undergone a full refurbishment, including restoration of the original brick walls, exposed timber trusses and barge boards. The salon is fitted out with Belmont barber chairs in custom-made dark .green leather.

Mr Jones, who has 17 years’ experience in the industry, said: “We wanted to create a gentlemen’s salon where men can go and have the type of experience more familiar in a female beauty salon.

“Our stylists are trained in the latest techniques and trends plus clients can enjoy a Pink Lane Coffee, watch TV, enjoy a draft beer or even a whisky during their appointment.
