A barbershop that does not advertise its prices, like this one, means one thing to me... expensive!
The UK Barbershops website tells us:
Launched in 2010, UK Barbershops is the brainchild of proprietor Drew Wilkes. After 20 years behind the scissors working for established barbers in Union Street, Drew believed that the time was right to open his own enterprise in Maidstone.
Drawing on personal interests and tastes, Drew, a long-time Maidstone resident, set his sights on creating a barber shop environment with cross-demographic appeal.
The clean, airy and friendly space is infused with true 'Cool Britannia' imagery, inspired by the now famous wartime motto, 'Keep Calm and Carry On'.
After finishing training in 1990 from Fishers Hairdressing Group in Maidstone, being accredited with Loreal and Wella diplomas, Drew went on to practice his passion for barbering and has never looked back.
Hence UK Barbershops was born!
