Walington's talented barber was selected as the final candidate for two national prizes

Martin Jackson, 42 years old, told Wolington Guardian about the first time he was obsessed with the barber “tradition” during his prison.

His hard work, which has been running a unique barber shop in Burchwood's home for the past three years, has been truly rewarded, has recently been recognized in two prestigious titles of British Hair and Beauty Awards and has been selected as the final candidate. I did it.

Martin states: I fell in love for the first time in the tradition of doing barber in prison.

“I agree to perform NVQ with a barber while in the prison. When I retired, I met Joan, a partner from Wolington, decided to move to Walington, and got the first job as a barber in Wallington. I lived in Birchwood and I always wanted to be a community. ”

The barber shop that runs at home is one -on -one unique service (image: provided) The employer pointed out that unlike other areas of Walington, “there are full -haired barber shops that provide the same services next door, there are few barber shops in Burchwood.

“In Burchwood, there is no place to open the shop because all units are already occupied by shops such as Morrissons. So start in a small new hut used for drying tumblers at home. Martin continued.

“When I realized that there was a niche field that people would not like to sit and wait at the store, I decided to get a garden studio. All are equipped and insulated.”

This one -man band's barber shop offers a hair cut, a beard trimming, and a male facial treatment with a reservation system.

“I wanted to provide a socially intimate space where people could come away from the noise of a traditional barber shop without waiting. Sitting on my chair in the specified frame and with me. You can make a reservation.

Martin wanted to make the space a intimate atmosphere compared to a busy barber shop (image: provided). He has worked as a soldier before and has suffered from PTSD during his work, and how has his unique business model created a “calm and relaxing” environment where men want to worry if they want. Was emphasized.

“Recently, many men are suffering from mental health without silently raising their voices, and I feel that it is difficult to go to a barber shop because they are busy or do not know which barber shops. There are also men.

“When I'm with me, they know that I'm the only one, and I'm relieved in a calm and relaxing environment. I myself suffered from PTSD as a former soldier, but I was busy and overwhelmed. This is also useful for me who worked.

This talented barber remained the final candidate for the two titles in the future award, compared to Martin's “Baftas in the Barcels and Beauty Industry.”

He is not only the 2025 Barber of theyer but also a candidate for the home salon of theyer.

The national award ceremony will be held next year in Birmingham, where celebrities and industry -art gersery gathered nationwide.

Martin added his nomination as follows: “Given that it is targeted all over the United Kingdom, it is a great feat to remain in the finalist. So, as you know, you can get the name of such awards and be very proud. I think it's honored.
