The Foregate Barbershop

Back up and running! Heating’s on and ready for the afternoon. 💈

Please note we currently have an issue with electrics so no light or heating. I will keep you posted and hopefully get open later this morning.

💈 Open as normal today. 2 hours free parking opposite. We have a card machine so both card and cash accepted. Walk ins welcome. 💈

Update - going to call it a day for today as inevitably it’s quiet. My son’s school is closed so will spend the rest of the afternoon with him. Thanks for your understanding ⛄️ ❄️

Shop’s open and the heating is on. Roads were better than yesterday in the town centre.

The shop may open a little later this morning depending how long it takes me to get in this morning. I’ll update on here once the shop is open. ❄️ ⛄️

It’s a cold one today but the heating is on and the shop’s open! Loads of parking on the big carpark opposite by Wickes (2 hours free). Don’t forget we take card (including Amex) as well as cash 💳

✨ Happy New Year to all our friends and customers ✨
New Years Day - Open today till about 2 then back to normal hours tomorrow. Have a great day whatever you’re doing.

They’re here to listen without judgement and talk through whatever you’re facing. You don’t have to carry it on your own – call 116 123.
