Miss Betty and Mr Ducktail are London’s self-proclaimed ‘rock ‘n’ roll motherkutters’ – rockabilly hair experts who’ll coiffeur you back to the ’50s. Their small salon in Kingly Court offers a full menu of services for women – particularly colour treatments and brilliant, gravity-defying up-dos – but there’s just one coveted chair for men, where Mr Ducktail whips up pompadour quiffs with clippers, scissors and a switchblade. Lured from their native Toulouse by London’s tough-as-nails rockabilly scene, the pair have dressed It’s Something Hell’s with vintage memorabilia and leopard-print furniture, including collectors T-shirts, cola-scented own-brand hair products and stacks of well-thumbed tattoo mags. With a ‘first come, first served’ policy for men, it’s best to try your luck during the week – bad boys have been known to queue for hours on a Saturday morning to get clipped before a night of drag racing and dancing, no doubt. From £15.
