Robson's Barber Shop

Just a little explanation for anyone who’s noticed I’ve been a bit… quieter than usual lately.

I lost my horse recently. I’d had him for 15 years, so as you can imagine, it’s knocked me for six. He wasn’t just a horse, he was a huge part of my life, and I’m still trying to get my head around him not being here.

I’m still working, still cutting hair, still having a laugh and getting on with things — but I’m probably not quite myself at the minute. Some days I’m absolutely fine, other days a random thought will catch me out and I’m a bit of a mess 😂

So if I seem a little unbothered, distracted or generally not my usual self, that’s why. I certainly don’t want to bring the mood down in the shop. I’m just grieving something that meant a lot to me, while carrying on as best I can.

I’ll get there. I just need a bit of time. ❤️

And to the men who come in for a haircut and accidentally get the sad horse story instead… sorry lads. You’ll survive. 😂❤️

CLOSED ALL DAY TODAY 💔

Open Friday and Saturday this week.
Closed all day Tuesday 18th for my Uncle Barry’s funeral 💔

Open today till 3pm then closed until Thursday for holidays. Thanks 💈

Firstly, I’d like to thank everyone for your continued support—it really is appreciated.

After receiving a complaint today, I thought it was worth explaining something that some people may not realise.

During the school holidays, I don’t have fixed opening times like I do during term time. In the 16 years I’ve owned the shop, I’ve always worked around my childcare responsibilities in the holidays. I open as soon as I can get there, and while I do everything possible to minimise any delay, sometimes family has to come first.

I’m a mam before anything else, and I won’t apologise for making sure my children are cared for. I don’t have a support network of grandparents or family who can step in, so every day during the holidays is a bit of a balancing act. I also have animals to care for before I start work.

One thing I hope people appreciate is that I rarely take extended time off. In fact, I haven’t had a full week away from the shop since April 2025. Rather than closing for the holidays, I choose to keep working and fit everything around my family so I can still be here for my customers.

All I ask in return is a little patience and kindness if I happen to arrive later than usual. Most of my customers have always been incredibly understanding, and I’m very grateful for that.

What I do struggle with are sarcastic or disrespectful comments. We’re all dealing with things that others don’t always see, and a little understanding goes a long way. If we can’t treat each other with basic respect, then I’m probably not the right barber for you.

Thank you to everyone who continues to support me, my business, and my family. It genuinely means more than you know. ❤️

Not well today..
open all day Friday and Saturday 💈

Closed Wednesday and Thursday this week for my Stephens funeral 💔

I’m at a meeting tomorrow morning, so looking to get to the shop for about 11am.
Apologies for any inconvenience 💈
