THE BARBERSNO1 STORY
Share
From a Single Chair to a National Movement
In the early 2010s, a small barbershop in the North West of England began redefining what it meant to get a haircut. Clean lines, sharp fades, and genuine connection between barber and client formed the foundation of what would become BarbersNo1, one of the UK’s fastest-growing barbering brands.
What started as a local vision evolved into a national movement. Built on precision, professionalism, and the belief that the modern man deserves more from his barber, BarbersNo1 grew not just in size but in influence.
The Rise of a Modern Brand
Over the past decade, BarbersNo1 has opened sixteen premium locations across the UK. Each one carries the same clean aesthetic and commitment to quality that shaped the brand’s identity.
Every BarbersNo1 store is created around a simple idea: barbering done properly. Minimalist interiors, cutting-edge technique, and a culture built on respect and consistency.
“Our goal was never to open barbershops. It was to build experiences,” says the founder. “From the first fade to the sixteenth location, our focus has always been consistency, culture, and community.”
Training the Next Generation
BarbersNo1 didn’t stop at the chair. Recognising the need for structured education in the industry, the brand launched BarbersNo1 Training Academies — purpose-built spaces designed to train the next generation of barbers.
Each academy delivers a balance of skill, discipline, and creativity. Students learn from experienced professionals who have shaped the modern British barbering landscape. Graduates leave not only with technical ability but a deep understanding of the brand’s culture and standards.
A Landmark Collaboration
In 2025, BarbersNo1 reached a major milestone with the opening of a flagship location inside the world’s largest JD Sports store at the Trafford Centre.
This partnership represented more than growth. It marked a cultural alignment between two leading names in men’s lifestyle, sport, and fashion. The result is a space where grooming meets culture, and where BarbersNo1 continues to deliver its signature service to thousands of new clients.
Looking Ahead
With sixteen stores, award-winning academies, and a growing reputation across the UK, BarbersNo1 continues to lead the industry forward.
The focus remains clear: elevate standards, inspire confidence, and redefine what it means to be No1.
Because BarbersNo1 has never just been about the cut.
It’s about craft, culture, and the confidence that comes with it.
