"We’ve been going to Craig for a couple…"

We’ve been going to Craig for a couple of weeks now and we wish we would have found him sooner. The care and compassion demonstrated by Craig is unremarkable. 100% recommend.

"3 year old son "

Well what can I say? What a breath of fresh air this man is and I’m so happy we found him :)

My son has been petrified of haircuts since the very beginning. No idea why but the meltdowns were so severe I used to leave in tears and he was traumatised!

Myself and his dad have been doing our best for the past couple of years, but it’s pretty evident that Paramedics can’t cut hair :)

My son sat playing with the toys at Craig’s barbers yesterday, while Craig worked around him and kept him at ease and distracted the whole time. His friendly, and no rush approach is fantastic and the whole experience was just lovely.

Not a single tear was shed and we now have a little boy went to his childminder this morning so proud to show off his big boy haircut.

You are worth your weight in gold and us Boltoners are so lucky to have you on our doorsteps 😀

"We travelled a little over 40 minutes…"

We travelled a little over 40 minutes to Craig’s shop and it didn’t disappoint. What a 5 star service he offered. We’ll definitely be returning not only a lovely haircut for my son but such a calm and stress free environment. We’ve tried many hairdressers and barbers and all have gone quite badly. Thankfully we’ve Craig’s barbers and the wonderful services of offers ⭐️

"Amazing for my 2 year old!!"

Took my 2 year old to Craig’s yesterday after reading an article about him online. My boy was so scared of having his haircut from previous experiences with another barber however our visit to Craig’s couldn’t have been any more different. Brilliant communication from our first message about the appointment options and all through our visit. When we arrived he was given time to explore before Craig approached and engaged with him and asked him if he could comb his hair. He allowed him to play and followed his lead, all while cutting his hair and talking to him throughout. By the end my son didn’t want to leave and the biggest battle was getting him out of the shop. Amazing experience, haircut and no tears. Already booked our next appointment.

"First visit - Amazing!! "

I brought my son to Craig’s Barber Shop this morning, it was our first visit and from the minute we walked through the door Craig made us both feel so welcome. He allowed my son to explore the shop and the toys around before approaching him to start his hair, he was so calm, patient and friendly and followed my son round at his pace; taking breaks at times when needed too, I would highly recommend Craig for anybody to have their hair done, whether they are neurodiverse or not! An amazing barber!!

"Amazing barber "

Amazing barber
So patient! Acknowledges your child's fears and works on them. Makes you and your child feel at ease. Every barber we have been too has been a nightmare, physically and emotionally challenging and draining first appointment with Craig what so different. I will never use another barber

"I took my 18 month old son to Craig's…"

I took my 18 month old son to Craig's barber shop today after 2 very traumatic haircuts in other hairdressers. I couldn't believe how calm my son was throughout the whole haircut. He just played with the toys there, walking around the whole shop whilst his hair was cut with no tears or tantrums! He looks so smart now, and will 100% be returning for all future haircuts! Thankyou for being so kind and patient with my son!

"Excellent"

I hadn’t had a haircut in over 6 years due to my neurodivergence and anxiety but I was surprised when it was over. Craig made the experience comfortable and easy to deal with, and I love my new hair cut

"Absolutely amazing"

Absolutely amazing. My son hasn't had his hair cut professionally for over a year due to his last barbers being too rough and impatient with him and today was a completely different experience! Very kind, soft spoken and allowed my son to move around freely and play whilst following him around. 10/10, will definitely be back!

"Great attitude"

Patient, kind and genuinely understood and respected my 9 year old child with special needs. Will be returning.
