💈CUSTOMER NOTICE 💈

If you didn’t already know, I will be closed from next Monday 11th of May and back open Saturday 16th of May. So make sure to book in before I go away if you haven’t already, limited spaces available.

Important update onwards from April the 1st.

First, I want to say a massive thankyou to all of my loyal clients, friends, and community for your continued support. It truly means the world to me and keeps this barbershop busy almost every day.
I’m writing to let you know that from April 1st there will be a slight change in my service prices. This wasn’t a decision I made lightly, but it’s become necessary due to the rising costs of running the business.
Just like many of you are experiencing in your own lives, I’ve been facing increasing costs that affect how I serve you.
All of these factors add up, and in order to continue giving you the quality haircuts, a clean environment, reliable appointments and also the good service you deserve, I need to adjust prices accordingly.

💬 What will stay the same? �✨ My commitment to you�✨ A friendly, personal service you expect�✨ On-time appointments and professional results

I truly appreciate your understanding and loyalty — you’re the reason I’m here, and I won’t stop working hard to give you the best experience possible.
If you have any questions about the changes, please feel free to ask — I’m always happy to talk.
Thank you for sticking with me — I look forward to seeing you in the chair soon! ✂️❤️

Bit of a different day today here at Y BARBWR.

After a full day of bookings I had the pleasure of giving a bit of 1 to 1 advice to a young aspiring barber , a loyal customer of mine for many years who has recently been giving it a go. It was a nice change to share my advice and ideas about the industry as I was once that person 8 years ago.

Stick at it mate, the world is your oyster.
