Father and son prove it’s a snip to win award

22nd November 2018
A dad and son barbershop team have won a prestigious national award – for the second year running.
The Master Barbers Shop located at Wayfarers Arcade on Lord Street is run by Robert and Dan Rix, and they have once again scooped the National Hairdressers’ Federation Business Award.
The awards ceremony, which celebrates outstanding professionals in the hairdressing industry, took place in Manchester. As part of the qualifying criteria a mystery shopper was sent to their shop, where they scored ‘extremely high’ in all areas.
One particular point emphasised by the judges was the effort that goes into window dressing their shop, helping to lift the image of Lord Street.
Dan Rix said: “This year’s task of entering proved particularly daunting as we were in direct competition with national franchise and multi-salon operations throughout the UK.
“To have achieved this award in such a difficult arena is testament to our staff’s efforts in all they do and where we stand in the industry.’’
