[ES] “Poco ha cambiado en este salón madrileño en más de un siglo. Fundado por Basilio Vallejo Abad en 1908, este establecimiento de peluquería en la calle Santa Isabel atendía a los viajeros que llegaban a la estación de tren de Atocha y sigue haciéndolo prácticamente a día de hoy (aunque es posible que tengas que reservar online si quieres un corte de pelo). Cabezas y barbas tan ilustres como las del premio Nobel Ramón y Cajal se afeitaron en el sillón del barbero.

Muchos de quienes visitan el salón lo hacen simplemente para fotografiar los azulejos de la fachada. Los azulejos son de Talavera de la Reina, Toledo, y han sido declarados de interés histórico-artístico. Representan dos escenas de corte de pelo, que incluyen sillones de estilo americano con un fondo de peluquería tradicional.

En el salón todavía se utilizan aparatos de la década de 1920, como navajas, sillones y cajas registradoras. La colección de objetos antiguos y recuerdos que poseen es tan importante que el salón es en realidad también un pequeño museo de peluquería.”

[EN] “Little has changed in this Madrid salon in over a century. Founded by Basilio Vallejo Abad in 1908, this hairdressing institution on Santa Isabel Street used to cater to travelers arriving at Atocha Train Station and still does pretty much so to this day (though you may need to make an online reservation if you want a trim). Heads and beards as illustrious as those of Nobel Prize winner Ramón y Cajal were shaved in barber chair.

Many are those who visit the salon do so just to photograph the tiles on the façade. The tiles are from Talavera de la Reina, Toledo and have been designated as being of historical-artistic interest. They depict two haircutting scenes, which include American-style armchairs in a traditional hairdressers background.

Equipment from the 1920s is still in use inside the salon, including razors. armchairs and cash registers. The collection of old objects and memorabilia they have is so important that the salon is actually a small hairdressing museum as well.”
