hair cut

[shirliemc]

Arrrrgh thanks for lovely comments about Ian and my Dogs:
He keeps talking about expanding but it just talk at the mo.... he would still stay in Marple though as you say he has been there for years so be silly to move areas.

Its nice when you find some one you like i well know as i used to be a hairdresser my self but gave it up about 15 years ago...i still do Ians though...

And Yeah Barney loves George and lets him have his own way most of the time, but puts him in his palce when he needs to.

Awww we loved Barney!!

Ian has been cutting my oldest  sons hair since he was little ( about 4),  he is 14 now, we went to Ian after some hairdresser who used to cut his hair on the same road  told him he would  cut his ear off if he didnt sit still ... he was mortified, became hysterical and would not go back ( the hair salon has since gone!!)  , Ian sucsessfully picked up the "cut your ear off pieces"  and we have never looked back.  He has always been fantastic with my sons, and very patient when they were little ( been cutting my youngests hair  since he was a baby)  and if any one asks me where my sons have thier hair cut, I always reccomend him.

Ian used to cut my mums hair when he worked for a salon in Marple so I never look at him as just a "Barber"   ( ouch! how time flies, it was a few years back!) and now Im just waiting for him to expand his hair cutting  empire now that he works for himself  to ladies  so  then he can cut mine!!

Just an update for all enquiries about Barney Bulldog. He is 5years old now and retired from barbering. The Health and Safety people did go in the shop on several occaisions due to people reporting him as a risk and on each occaision was NOT seen as a H & S risk. For those who think he was....do you really think we would allow our dog to suffer with flees and ticks (i dont think so ) any way thanks to those of you who stuck up for our Bully. He now stays at home due to the fact he is a big old Lazy bully and cant be botherd going to work any more. Oh and he has a brother George to keep him company who is 2 Thanks Barbers Wife....

I'm sorry but i do not see the problem with the barber bringin his dog along to his barber shop! He doesn't sell food he just trims your hair for a few mins and your on your way! Plus you can always choose not to go to barbers who bring their dogs along for the day! After all there are too many to choose from! If it's an option he can afford then so be it!

I take my boys to 'the barbers' on stockport rd. I think they r great, and the dog never bothered us either.

Also, and this is just my opinion, I think its so hard these days for a new buisness to do really well in Marple, Ive been told the rent is rather high on those units on Derby way, obviously I dont know for sure, put I would presume, you would have to have a little gold mine to cover rent etc to make a good profit.

I wish all local traders, good luck and best wishes, they need it.........

I was surprised to learn that the barber on Derby Way has closed but I've made enquiries and found this to be true. I am told that the  business had been doing well and was especially popular with pensioners but there was a problem with the lease which forced him to close. A shame. I understand he is currently working in Romiley while considering his future options.
