Robert Williams Barbershop

Newest barber (Riley) update: The boys crushing it.

Multiple fully booked days.
Many happy customers.
Building his own book of clients already.
Kind of proving a point with the level of his haircuts if we're being honest. Point taken.

Just two slots available with him today. Grab one and see for yourself!

Well, that's another year! Another year of awesome customers, great conversation, just SO much caffeine, connection with our community and of course... Proper haircuts.

Here's some things we loved about 2025:
- Totally ignored social media again. Mostly by accident. Actually just realised we forgot to post last year's Christmas photo too 😂 We're so bad at this.

- Let's be honest, decent weather. You're not meant to admit that as a Brit but it's not even THAT cold now.

- Every single person that came through the doors of this humble barbershop.

You're all awesome and we appreciate you continuing to support this business. We love being here, love making sweet haircuts, love the chat, love the town.

Thank you all and MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Robert Williams Barbershop.
