Where is your Barbershop located?

Queens Dock Barbershop is located in Rawtenstall, a town not too far out of Manchester. 

When did you start cutting there?

We opened our doors at the end of 2018, so this December will be our 7th birthday! 

How long have you been cutting hair?

I started cutting hair 10+ years ago. I got an apprenticeship in Liverpool and did it the old fashioned way. I wasn’t allowed to use clippers until I could use scissors.

How did you first hear about Uppercut Deluxe?

Pretty much as soon as I started barbering I found UD online. The shop I cut my teeth at was very clean cut and UD tied in with absolutely everything I love, skateboards, motorbikes, music. It was love at first sight. 

How long have you used Uppercut Deluxe products in the barbershop?

Since day one. It’s always been UD and it’ll only ever be UD. 

What makes Queens Dock Barbershop special?

We are what we are. I’m rubbish at social media, I try my best to be cool online but I can’t manage it! But the relationship we have with our clients is second to none and I wouldn’t change it for the world. We also won ‘Best Alternative Barbershop in Lancashire’ awarded by some made up online company in 2023 which is hilarious. Why aren’t we just the best barbershop?! 

What is your signature haircut/hairstyle?

 Give me scissor work all day and I’ll give you a haircut that looks like you’ve always had it. My style is to make you look like you’ve put in maximum style with minimum effort. 

Do you have a message you would like to share with the people reading this?

I can’t imagine I’ve got anything that enlightening to say, other than this is a boss opportunity and to have my name amongst the others within this brand in unreal and I’m very humbled. UCDC FORVER, BABY.
