On a good day, Markos Malone roughly makes 25 cups of tea.
Surprisingly, his job isn’t at a local cafe, but rather at his own salon, near Edge Lane. The shop, which is named after himself and just off Rathbone Road, comes complete with the standard items you would expect a hairdresser to have including scissors, razors, old-fashioned barber caps and combs.
However, tucked away in the back is a room which is coming down with a “million” different types of mugs and that is because, in Markos’ salon, a day wouldn’t be complete unless there were more cups of tea made than haircuts carried out. The 43-year-old, who lives in Croxteth but is originally from a small island in Greece, wanted to create a space where it would feel like customers were walking into one of their friend's homes.
