Bic Basher Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 I didn't realise Roche was closing, they were busy on Saturday. Mr Roche especially was great for barber banter.

mako Posted May 18, 2014 Author Share Posted May 18, 2014 Indeed. Only place i have used in last ten years. Anyone know what sort of price it is elsewhere for a family of four?

Bic Basher Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 I don't know any other unisex hairdressers round here. I'll probably go back to Jazz Barbers or the little barbers opposite Sainsbury's in Forest Hill who'll do a dry cut for ?9.

Bic Basher Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 GK Barbers on Melbourne Grove will do a dry cut for ?10, which is ?2 cheaper than Roche.http://gkbarbers.co.uk/ Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/44466-the-cafe-hairdressers-next-to-lloyds-closing-on-lordship-lane/#findComment-747941 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jah Lush Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 Noooo.... I've been going to that barbers since I was a kid. I still call it Seegars even though Roche took it over more than 20 years ago. I'm guessing Mr Roche is retiring? Hope it stays a barbers.

Otta Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 Roche had been there for years, according to my mum he just said something about cash flow. I wonder whether the lease was up and the landlords hiked the rent.

intexasatthe moment Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 My partner is refusing to believe that Roche's is closed . He had his hair cut there as usual last week . He's in denial I think .

Bic Basher Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 Roche had the place refurbished a couple of years ago, which may have caused issues with cash flow. He's also had increased competition from further down LL from the barbers opposite the old police station and Jazz Barbers.Incidentally it appears that Badger Bakery, which is managed by Hirst Bakery has it's lease up as well.

jimbo1964 Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 I used to go to Seegars when I was a kid too. And bought my first single (Monster Mash) from the electrical shop next door.

Zebedee Tring Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 Very sorry to hear about the closure of Roche. However, they've had easy money from me in recent years because I'm severely follicly challenged! Seems too much of coincidence that the caf? next door has also closed at the same time. I assume that they have both suffered from the outcome of rent reviews by their landlord, or their leases have expired, or something like that.

Bic Basher Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 I had my first portable tv from Segars. It was the place which introduced me to electronic goods as a child. Also bought portable radios from there.Roche appears to be the victim of the gentrification which is spreading further down LL.

pixie23 Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 Jeanette, former Roche employee here, the Boss retired, we are all very sad we did not get the chance to tell clients prior to closing, sorry!!

Zebedee Tring Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 Jeanette, I'd be interested to know why it wasn't possible for staff to tell clients that such a long established business was closing.

Nigello Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 On a positive note, the Rajput Rowing Club (or similar) has opened, the old French place is being done up and the Plough looks better than it ever did. The butcher's shop is still there, as is the framer's - both are relatively newcomers. Not sure the gentrifcation angle can be blamed for the hairdresser's demise?: perhaps he was simply retiring.

pixie23 Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 The boss gave us very little notice he was retiring, and I do not know why he did not advertise that he was closing, not something I agreed with at all.

Zebedee Tring Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 That's rather disappointing and upsetting, Jeanette. Frankly I'm surprised as the boss always seemed to me to be a decent geezer. But of course you may have a different take on this.

Otta Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 He may have some pride and not want to admit publically that it was to with cashflow/rent. I don't know any details, but I suspect it wasn't something he'd planned.
