I’m a passionate barber who takes pride in helping people look and feel their best. For me, barbering is more than just cutting hair – it’s about creating an experience, building confidence, and connecting with clients.

I decided to join Gould Barbers when they opened the new Corby shop because of the reputation they have. Gould Barbers pride themselves on high standards, professionalism, and a strong team culture. Being part of a brand that values every aspect of this industry and looks after its team really stood out to me.

Leigh and Darran have given myself and many others an opportunity to grow, improve our craft, and meet new people.

I will continue to deliver the level of service every client deserves while continuing to grow within our shop and the company

"I started my journey in barbering working in my mum’s barbershop in Framingham , where I first learned the craft and developed a passion for the trade. From there, I went on to open and run my own barbershop in Diss, gaining valuable experience and building my confidence as a barber.

Working with Gould Barbers has been a great part of my journey. It’s given me the opportunity to travel to shops all over England, see new places, and meet different people in the industry. Gould have always treated me well, covering travel expenses and making the experience enjoyable. It’s allowed me to see more of the beautiful country we live in while continuing to grow in my barbering career."

"I’ve been barbering for 15 years, but in the hair industry for nearly 40 years.

I moved from hairdressing to barbering due to wanting to change careers. Barbering has come a long way in the past 15 years: You no longer sit in a chair and get what you’re given.
Styles have changed and there’s a lot more scissor cut styles now and lots of remodels of old styles made modern.


I have worked in many different barbershops and have to say that Goulds is the best.
I originally joined Gould’s back in 2017 when they first opened their Bar Hill shop near Cambridge. It was was quite a bit smaller back then, but it soon became a very busy shop. Unfortunately in 2020 COVID happened and I chose to go mobile and said goodbye to Goulds. I remained in touch and both Darran and Leigh said I’d be welcome back anytime, if I wanted to.


Fast forward 4 years and Goulds Bar Hill had moved into a huge shop, better looking, 10 chairs and spacious. I knew I wanted to return to Goulds and now was the right time.
In January 2024 I was once again a Gould Girl and having brought a fairly large clientele with me, I was quite busy from the get go.


I have absolutely no regrets coming back and hugely recommend working for Goulds: Darran and Leigh have always been gracious and helpful when needed, are down to earth and jump on the tools when necessary.


If you work hard, it's totally worth it….Just like anything really, and luckily, I love my job"
