Black & Gold Barbershop

Six months of Brydie’s growth at Black & Gold! 🖤✂️

She’s doing incredibly well while perfecting her craft, steadily building her repeat clients and proudly wearing the Black & Gold swag! You can't beat that passion 🔥 From November, she’ll be spending more time on the floor which is an exciting next step in her journey as a barber.

If you love supporting young talent, we’d love to have you in her chair. Every cut, return visit and recommendation helps her build confidence and experience

I will be away this Tuesday, 22nd September 🖤 Patsy may still come in but otherwise, Black & Gold will be closed.

After a pretty severe allergic reaction this week, I’m doing a little better now but my body has definitely let me know that I need to take more time.... So I’ve decided to take one extra day off on my usual Sun-Mon before getting back behind the chair.

I’ll be back Wednesday 23rd September, with normal hours from then on.

If you have an appointment booked with me on Tuesday, I’ll be in touch personally to help move it to another time. You’re also welcome to reschedule online if that’s easier.

Thank you so much for your patience & understanding ✨️ I really appreciate it! ✨️

🙌🏾⚡️ A little spotlight on Brydie ⚡️🙌🏾

Every great barber starts somewhere, and it's been so rewarding watching Brydie grow in confidence and skill behind the chair.

She's hardworking, passionate, and gives every client her absolute best. Under my one-on-one guidance and mentorship, she's developing beautifully and putting in the work every single day to become the amazing barber I know she can be.

To everyone who has already sat in her chair, thank you for being part of her journey. Every haircut, every word of encouragement, and every review helps build her confidence and shape the barber she's becoming.

We're incredibly proud of how far she's come already, and this is only the just beginning...💈✂️

If you’ve popped into the shop lately, you may have noticed things looking a little different around here ✂️

Black & Gold is currently a smaller team again, with me (Tanith) predominantly holding down the fort as your senior barber.

Patsy is still with us doing hair and renting a chair 3 days a week, and Brydie is currently in Thursdays, Friday evenings and Saturdays as she continues to build her confidence and refine her barbering skills. You’ll likely see more of her over time as she progresses.

For now, Black & Gold is staying intentionally small. The economy has shifted things a bit, and rather than constantly rotating faces through the shop, I’m focused on keeping things stable, personal and consistent for clients.

If the right fit ever came along to support during busier periods, or someone in a position to bring some clientele of their own, work on commission, or rent a chair, I’d absolutely be open to that. But for now, it’s mostly me back behind the chair, doing what I love and looking after the loyal clientele that keeps this little shop going 🖤

As always, thank you for supporting local. Whether you’ve been with me since the early days or only just found us, it truly means the world.

Usually, I wouldn’t be in the shop on a public holiday… like this Saturday. This one honestly slipped past me a little bit.

And if I’m being real with you all, given how things are out there right now, I may need to start working a few more of these moving forward. Times are tough for everyone at the moment, and that includes small businesses like ours.

We’re still here, still getting by, but it has been noticeably quieter, with more gaps in the schedule especially during the week. I’ve always believed in being transparent with you guys, because your support is what keeps Black & Gold going 🖤✨

So I’ll be in the shop this Saturday keeping things ticking over and since it’s a popular day, I only have a few spots left.

Blaze will be taking the day off, but you’ll also see a new face in the shop "Brydie". She’s stepping into her “developmental sessions,” working on refining her skills and building more confidence behind the chair.

If you’re open to supporting someone on their journey and helping nurture the next generation of talent in the shop, she’d really appreciate it and so would I.

As always, thank you for sticking with us. It never goes unnoticed.
