I'm currently working from the very lovely and welcoming HAER Collective Thursday to Sunday until my shop has been fixed. My own usual prices. Walk-ins welcome as always. No need to book an appointment with me. It really is a lovely salon. You will be very comfortable and looked after. Thank you to Simon at HAER COLLECTIVE for the opportunity. See you all soon!

My first week working alongside Simon at HAER Collective has been absolutely brilliant!!! Thank you to Simon and his friendly skilled team for welcoming me and to all my own clients who came along to support me, making this a very busy productive week. Darren's Barbers @ HAER COLLECTIVE Thursday to Sunday each week til my own shop is ready. Times on my page, or in the window at HAER COLLECTIVE. 💈😃

⭐GREAT NEWS AT LAST!! ⭐ Thank you so much to Simon at Haer Collective for inviting me to join him temporarily in his beautiful salon until my shop is ready. I am so grateful to him. Absolutely first class gentleman. I'll be there from this Thursday 12th February. Hope to see you all soon. Don't know what we'll have to talk about!

Hello everyone and thank you for all your messages. I am aware of a Gofundme campaign raising funds to support me and my business. I haven’t authorised any GoFundMe or fundraising on my behalf. I’ve asked the organiser to close it and return all donations.

I’m genuinely grateful to Chloe Makin the organiser, who I don't think I know and I don't recognise from her photos, and for the thought behind it and for everyone who has already donated so kindly.

I do have insurance in place, and I’m hopeful it will cover the financial losses once everything is processed. Please do not donate further. I have contacted GoFundMe to try to get this stopped because this does not feel necessary when I have shop insurance.

Thank you again for the kindness and generosity you have all shown. I am extremely grateful. Your continued support and kind messages are enough. Darren x

I've been offered quite a few options of chairs I can use in other barbers and hairdressers in Horwich until I can return to my shop. People have been unbelievably kind to me. Please watch this space and I will keep you all informed. Text me on 07877829004 when you need a cut and hopefully I'll be able to direct you to where I am. Darren

Devastating news. I'm safe and well. I will update you all when I know anything. Take care everyone. Thank you all for your kind messages of support x

I have just received a call from the Police to say there has been a terrible road traffic accident which has severely affected my shop building. No fatalities. I just wanted to let everyone know I am safe at home. The driver is apparently insured. I really don't know what happens now. I just wanted people to know I am safe. I will update my posts as soon as I know anything . I may have to rent a chair in another shop in Horwich to continue working. I just don't know what to do right now. I have literally just been told at 4.30am. Sorry to bring such bad news. I am DEVASTATED

Today, Darren's Barbers is FIVE YEARS old!!! Thank you so much to everyone 🥳💈
