Griff

My name is Griff.

I am a local man and have lived in Melksham my whole life.

I'm 32 years old and first got my hands on a pair of clippers at the ripe old age of 15, a proper mates' kitchen job.

I went from school into hairdressing at Chippenham college, but soon realised, ladies hair wasn't where my passion was. 

I then took an opportunity in a friends' family barbers as an apprentice. After learning the basics I then moved to a business that had shops dotted all over Wiltshire, here I picked up many new customers, from all over.

I then spent a solid 5 years working in Frome, aswell as renting a chair in a salon in Melksham and building a client base in my Hometown.

Once I finally hung up my Ayia Napa clubbing boots for the summer seasons, I decided it was finally time, at the age of 25 to get my own barbershop. 

On November 2013, Griff's Barbers was born. 

We have seen quite a few lads come and go, all going on to be very adept, successful barbers in their own right. 

As of today I'm back to being a one man band, but loving the new set up of the booking system. 

Gone are the days of a gentleman wanting a rushed, 10 minute, short back and sides.

I love being able to offer an online booking system, no queues, with half hour slots, TV, music, newspapers, free beer or coffee... A more personal service. 

Also offering a wide range of barbering experience in all hair types and styles. Afro Caribbean hair, to Toddlers. 

8 years on, still going strong. 

But I am now cutting in a new place.

Look forward to seeing you, soon 🙏🏽
