Barber Shop Spotlight: Boxed Barbers

Dreamed of opening your own Barber Shop?

In the vibrant heart of Eastwood Nottingham, a new beacon of style and sophistication has emerged. Boxed Barbers, which opened its doors on the 27th of April, has quickly become a favourite spot for locals seeking top-notch grooming services. We had the pleasure of supplying them with our premium Mirplay - KARL Barber chairs, and we're thrilled to share their journey with you.

Meet the Team

Boxed Barbers is co-owned by two passionate and talented individuals, Josh and Louis. Friends for over a decade, they have spent the last seven years working side by side, honing their craft in the same barbershop. Their shared dream and unwavering dedication culminated in the creation of their very own shop. Currently, the team consists of two barbers, with plans to expand soon.

The Decision to Open Boxed Barbers

Opening Boxed Barbers was a natural progression for Josh and Louis. Both were consistently fully booked, week after week, which indicated a loyal clientele and a growing demand for their services. With eight years of industry experience under their belts, they knew it was time to strike out on their own and create a space that reflected their vision and commitment to quality.

Specialties and Services

Boxed Barbers prides itself on offering a range of modern gents' cuts, including expertly styled beards. Their most sought-after service is the skin fade, a testament to their skill and attention to detail. As a modern and stylish barbershop, they cater to all ages, welcoming everyone with open arms.

Atmosphere and Vibe

Walking into Boxed Barbers, you'll immediately notice the clean, minimalistic design that exudes a contemporary charm. The welcoming and inclusive atmosphere makes it a place where everyone feels at home, regardless of age or style preference.

Challenges and Triumphs

Starting a new business is never without its hurdles. For Josh and Louis, one significant challenge was the reaction of their former employer, who dismissed them upon learning of their plans to open a competing shop in the same town. Undeterred, they pushed forward with determination and resolve, completing their shop as quickly as possible.

Their grand opening was a massive success, with an impressive turnout of 70 to 80 people. This event highlighted the strong support from their community and marked a major milestone for Boxed Barbers. Today, both barbers are fully booked every day, and their Instagram following has grown to over 500 in a short time, proving that their hard work and dedication have paid off.

Advice for Aspiring Barbers

Josh and Louis have some valuable advice for those entering the barbering profession: "No matter how difficult it gets, just never give up. Speak to every customer with confidence and as if you've known them for months. Building strong relationships with your clients is key. Once you have a loyal customer base, success will follow."
