And just like that, she bobbed 😍

Cara came in for a visit after we talked about bobbing her hair. At first she was apprehensive so we kept it safe at first but after a month or so, she got in touch and here we are! A stunner of a bob that can be air dried or heat styled (air dried in the pictures)

Thank you Cara for your trust 🫶🏻

With Hollys hair our main goal is health 👏🏻. We stepped away from bleach and have used less abrasive ways to lighten the hair to achieve this vibrant magenta red

When I say we were so excited for this level of thickness in her hair is an understatement

Thank you Holly for your trust and your unwavering determination to use the right home care to ensure a Loreal advert level of shine 😍

Here’s a closer look at what we do during fashion week season. We work in production alongside hair teams, handling the logistics that ensure each show runs smoothly for the lead hair artist (in this case, my brother in arms ).

Thanks so much to Tom for giving us this opportunity and huge thanks to

Oh dear! Forgot that when you’re filming someone walking (whilst walking backwards yourself) that you don’t know what’s behind you 🤣

Better luck next time content 🫣

Thanks Faye for your trust as always!

Did you know that we are a hybrid space that houses a gender neutral hair salon and barbers?

So however you identify, there is a space for you at RCNQ and Barber Below

Want a haircut with the barber then have your hair bleached and dyed pink? We’ve got you 👏🏻

Thanks Nick for your trust. Have the biggest love for you. Hope you had an amazing birthday 🫶🏻

Sometimes a good cut can lift weight off your soul. It can make you feel elated!

And when we work with your natural texture (rather than against it) it can be freeing. Like an extra layer of confidence. But let’s not get it twisted, it’s a confidence from within. Your hair is just the icing on a multi faceted cake 🎂

And if a good haircut can reflect your inner confidence and shine as brightly and as beautiful like the human you are…We’d class that as a job well done!

Choose wisely, choose RCNQ!

Button nose and baby fringes are a chefs kiss from us 🧑‍🍳

Love collaborating with our clients to mutually create something that meets your requirements whilst also providing you ease when styling

Let’s be real, who has an hour to spend on their hair every morning? And if you have, if it could still look great with minimal effort, what would you prefer?

When the wind wins the Oscar for supporting actress 😍

Was great to see Faye this week. Great times were had as always.

Having hair that looks this good is just the bonus 🥹

We’ve been talking a lot recently about the term ‘barbers’. A traditional barbershop would be clipper focused and heavily male dominated with rushed appointments to provide a quick service at a cheap price

At Barber Below we are a hybrid option. We work with all hair types, textures and length and use an array of tools to do so. This means that the traditional walk-in 30 minute appointments only work for a small selection of our clients.

You need more time spent on your hair as we do a mix of hair colour, Wolf cuts, curly cuts and more

The traditional ‘barbershop’ model doesn’t work for us or our clients so we are making changes to reflect what’s changing in our industry

Our service menu and pricing is changing to reflect this level of intricacy needed to ensure you have the best level of service achievable whilst still retaining some elements of a barber experience that provide familiarity for our clients

Phase one will provide haircuts that are either 30 minutes or 1 hour in length which will allow for our team to take the time on your hair that it deserves

Phase two will look at tackling classism within the industry and will be launched later this year (so excited to tell you all about this but we’re currently ensuring that we’ve ironed out all the kinks before launch)

We are so grateful for you all for supporting us and allowing us the space to keep breaking boundaries in Barber Below to create a more inclusive service for all
