From one pair of clippers to two cities
Designer Cuts started with “one barber, one chair, and one dream”: to bring multicultural style to the community.
How it started
- At first
One pair of clippers
A young barber cutting his friends’ hair, learning by doing.
- Then
Learning the trade
Years in other people’s barbershops, picking up every skill along the way.
- 2016
The first shop
Designer Cuts opens on Meath Street in the Liberties, Dublin 8. It’s still home base.
- Later
Galway
A second shop opens on William Street, with the same standard and the same welcome.
- Next
Manchester
Plans for a shop across the water are on the horizon.
Three things that don’t change
- Culture
A multicultural shop where everyone belongs, whatever your hair or your story.
- Confidence
Every fade, beard and line-up is about how you feel walking out the door.
- Craft
Consistency, precision and skill: the details that make a Designer Cut.
Moments from the chair
Building people up, from the clients in the chair to the next generation of barbers learning the craft.
