Barber at work inside the timber-lined High Street shop

Started on Cheapside.
Still right at home.

We opened on 17 June 2002 in a little place on Cheapside, with a simple idea: give a better service and treat people well.

Today you'll find us at 55 High Street. The love for the job, the river and the people of Knaresborough hasn't changed.
