A barber shop offering an "unrushed, holistic experience" is opening in the Royal Arcade in Norwich.

AVOCA has launched in the first-floor studio of Izola - the skincare brand which opened in September.

The business already has a shop and tattoo studio in City Road

Owner Chris Kemp said: "The studio we have is the perfect space for people to relax and have their hair cut and designed, without any hurry.

"Plus, they can also treat themselves to some of Izola’s wonderful grooming products when they go downstairs.

"Spending time with our clients gives them the opportunity to talk to us, sometimes getting things off their chest or asking for our opinions.

"Everything we do is confidential and we also create some really awesome hairstyles."

AVOCA is currently open on Wednesdays and Saturdays but Mr Kemp hopes to increase this in the coming weeks.

Izola co-owner, Hugo Middleton, said, “We are delighted to welcome Chris to our first-floor studio.

"Without a doubt, there is a good synergy between our grooming products and AVOCA’s hair services.

"We both prioritise the quality of experience we give our customers and being able to tailor what we offer to their aspirations.”
