The Name Evangelista in Hairdressing |
 |
|
|
| |
The name
Evangelista is synonymous with Hairdressing for almost 80 years;
since Paul's grandfather arrived on these shores from his native
Italy. The dynasty has come a long way since the early days when
Grandfather Angelo learned to cut his family's hair because he
couldn't afford to send them to the Barbers!
After some 30yrs, Angelo handed the family business over to his
son Adolpho, who started his training at the early age of 14yrs.
He and his father Angelo worked together in Linthouse until my
father started his own Barbershop in the then thriving community
of Govan. He in turn taught me and we worked together for many
years. In 1972, Paul opened his own Barbershop in the town of
Johnstone where he has continued to offer his tonsorial services
for the “discerning man” for some 31yrs now.
Paul is now happy to carry through the family tradition into the
4th generation by inviting his two sons Paul & Vincent to learn
the “Art of Barbering”. Both of them have now completed their
training and Paul Jnr now manages his own successful Barbershop in
Sauchiehall Street in Glasgow called Sauchie Barbers and has also
expanded his business to include Absolut Hair for the ladies.
Vincent now operates his own Barbershop in the town of
Renfrew and has called it Evangelistas Barbershop. So now, the
family cycle of barber training has been completed and now
guarantees that our family history of Barbers will continue well
into the future. We can only hope that “hair” will always be part
of human evolution!
And finally...you may be wondering why there is no image of
Paul Evangelista himself on this page. Well, this is due to the fact that some
have said Paul bares a slight resemblance to a certain Nintendo
character, but we'll let you be the judge of that.

"When people ask what was the highlight of
my wedding day I think not of my beautiful bride but of my first
ever visit to Evangelista's Barber Shop. The relaxed and friendly
atmosphere set me up for making the
biggest mistake of my life but I was safe in the knowledge I had
the finest haircut a once happy man could have wished for." |
