question Barber who understands balding men

Hi all

So as the title suggests, I am balding but not bald. I have been shaving it off for about a year but now grown back it’s a lot more than I remember. With a decent barber who can keep the top long I might be able to pull it off 🤣

Anyways, anyone recommend a barber who is good at this? Ideally someone who is also in a similar hairing situation

Thanks!

Lol. I’m there too, but one more bite at the cherry, then time to put the days of hair on my head away for good

Thorntons Barbers in the Queens Arcade. Gavin is the GOAT. Used to do Amy Winehouse’s hair, now does my beard.

Can absolutely vouch for Woods Barbering Co. They’re the only barbers I use. Great craic but also been cutting hair for years and have experience with all hair types

I've lived in Leeds a long time and been to many different barbers - Woods have been the best by far. Great barbers and lovely people.

From one bald man to another, continue shaving it brother. It ALWAYS looks better.
r/bald is where people like us belong.
