Tortoise & Hair

Great to see back in full swing yesterday winning their first game and a down to the last over close second game loss. Well done to all who played 🙌🏼

Today Tortoise & Hair turns 5 years old!

Thank you to all who have paid a visit and to everyone that continue to do so.

Thank you for your custom and the conversations.

Thank you for your support and belief in this small business.

Thank You

Three years ago on this date I opened up the doors to my little salon.

It’s been an interesting time but the best decision, even with all that’s happened and is continuing to bombard both life and business.

It would be remiss of me to not thank each and every person who has walked through the door for a haircut.
Thank you for your custom, thank you for your conversations, thank you for your kindness, support and understanding especially through all the uncertainties the first couple of years here brought and thank you to everyone who choose to come back.

Humbled and grateful

Take care and see you soon

Who better to be in the salon on world sight day than ?

New Price List

First of all I would like to say a huge ‘thank you’ to all my wonderful customers for their continued custom and support over the last two and a half(ish) years.
Setting out on this adventure has certainly had its ups and downs and a fair amount of closures and worries along the way but thanks to everyone who has visited the salon I’m still going and loving what I do.

As everyone will be aware the current cost of living, and everything else, is increasing which affects us all and in turn the costs of running a business.
I’ve tried as long as possible to keep my prices the same but it is no longer possible. So, as of April 1st the new price list will come in to effect.

Again, thank you for your continued support and business, for which I am extremely grateful.

Take good care and see you soon, Mike

A massive thank you to everyone who gave to Operation Orphan over the weekend and on the run up to race day.
Here’s me looking relieved to have made it up the hill at Wollaton, moments before realising there was still 7 miles to go.
If you’d still like to donate then please head over to the Just Giving page.
Again, thanks to everyone for their support and generosity

I'm running the Nottigham Robin Hood Half Marathon on the 26th September and am raising money for Operation Orphan. If you feel this is something you would like to donate to then please follow the link and also head over to www.operation-orphan.org and see all about the amazing work they do.

Frustratingly I have to keep the salon closed until the week commencing the 26th July. Due to some incompetence and misinformation given by NHSTrace the doors must remain closed.

Thank you to everyone for your continued kindness, patience and understanding during what is a difficult and really frustrating time.

I will be in touch to rearrange appointments.

Please take care and see you all soon

UPDATE:

After a conversation with 119 Track and Trace it turns out that as the Covid restrictions are changing on Monday that business can commence as usual from next week.
As it was only a ‘contact’ message and not due to myself being symptomatic I can be back in the salon from Tuesday.

Apologies again for the inconvenience and rearranging of appointments over this weekend which I still have to isolate for.

Will be looking forward to being back at work from the 20th 🙌🏼

What a relief!

I’m gutted to have to close…again.

Feels a bit like falling at the last hurdle with the 19th so close but rather sadly this is the way things are for many people and businesses at the moment 😔

Thank you to everyone for being so understanding with rearranging appointments.

Take care and see you all again soon

Here we go...

Thank you to everyone for your patience and understanding while booking appointments. It’s going to be a full on month or two.

Good to be back...again...

The shop front is looking a lot more respectable now the new signage is up; now to make myself, and soon my customers, look a lot more respectable after our Covid trims, or for those that could behave themselves, growing out processes.

Not long now and hopefully the doors will be back open. Looking forward to seeing everyone.

Online booking is open
(and filling up fast!)
