A Letter to My Clients

Some of you have been sitting in my chair for many years, and some of you have only just found us, but either way, I thought it might be nice to share a little bit of my story with you.

My journey started back in 1991. I was 22 years old and had been hairdressing for 7 years. After spending some time down south, I came back home and got a job in a barbershop in Birkenhead. I worked there for about 12 months and realised how much I loved barbering. 

I remember thinking, I can do this.

One day, I drove past a shop with a flat above it on Poulton Road. I had no big responsibilities at the time, so I took a chance and went for it. I worked in that shop for 4 years and lived above it for 2 or 3 of those years. It was hard work, long days, and a lot of learning, but I loved every minute.

After that, I rented a shop over the road and was there for around 7 years. Then I got the opportunity to buy the shop where I am now. That was a big step and a lot of pressure, but I took it — and somehow, here I am 35 years later.

Over the years, I’ve watched so many of you grow up, bring your children in, and even your grandchildren. What started as just a job became my life, and the shop became like a second home.

So whether you’ve been coming for 30 years or it’s your very first visit, thank you for supporting me, trusting me, and being part of this journey. It really does mean more than you probably realise.

Michelle and Shelbie as the best barbers around. Shelbie cuts my little boys hair and always does a brilliant job. Super patient with the little ones and they even hold special sensory days... definitely definitely recommend!!!

We have been coming here for a few months now and my son has gone from upset and scared to loving his time getting his haircut! The sensory sessions are perfect as it’s quiet the toy selection is lovely as well as all the lights and telly etc. they recommended frequent hair cuts to get my son used to the sensation and we’ve gone from only using scissors to progressing to using the clippers in a matter of a few sessions. Thank you so much for your kindness patience and compassion you show towards not only all children but children with needs. ❤️❤️❤️

We’ve been every 6 weeks to see Shelby for our sons sensory haircut and the progress our son had made is incredible! Shelby has incredible patience, the selection of toys caters for all, routine is key as we see her every 5-6 weeks. Wouldn’t go to anyone else. Thank you!

Started getting mine and my 2 year old sons haircut a few months back, service we have received every time has been excellent, couldn’t fault them. My son loves the haircut car and Shelbie is so patient and kind with him. Highly recommend!

The best barbers for sensitive kids! Shell and Shelbie are both amazing with kids, I’d never take my boys anywhere else now. My little one struggled so much with hair cuts, kicking and screaming the entire time (even then we weren’t made to feel bad or guilty, they persevered and managed to cut his hair!), but we avoided haircuts until they were absolutely necessary. We started sensory cuts 10 months ago, and have been going every month, and now he happily sits in the chair and has his hair cut with clippers. Having the whole space to ourselves, the routine and familiarity is massive to help him feel safe and comfortable and nothing is ever too much and you never feel rushed. Not to mention the effort that is put in to make the shop look fun and inviting for little ones with toys, books, sensory lights, Netflix and Lightening McQueen to sit in! Thank you for turning a stressful and sometimes traumatic experience into something that is looked forward to and enjoyed ☺️☺️☺️

I've been going to Just for Men for many years .The staff are extremely helpful and take pride in their work. They look after their clients and are super friendly.

Nothing is too much trouble and they have a lovely relationship with young children and even provide distractions for children who maybe anxious or have anxiety issues or autism.

When I've been in the barbers the children appear happy to be playing on the consoles or watching a video.

The owner is very accomadating and will always have a lovely smile for you

Keep up the great work . Will be returning very soon
