A Great Haircut - And Cheap Too!

December 2009 



You can't knock it. 'Graham's The Barbers' in Baddow Road, Great Baddow, takes some beating when it comes to getting a bloke's haircut. I stopped there a few minutes before 7.30am on Saturday morning. The ever cheerful owner, Graham, appeared from around the back of the premises having just parked his motor bike. 'The wife' he said 'has the car' (she runs the ladies hairdressers behind the shop).

Graham let me in and wasted no time in setting his razor to a number 4. I was out in under 10 minutes! Graham (who is assisted by fellow barber Mick) only charges £5 for a cut, OAP's just £4. You do a great job lads!

A little tip...the shop is usually busy but Graham tells me that the best time to visit can be when its raining or cold. The old fellas tend to stay away at these times and wait for the sunshine!
