About Me
Alex Leckenby
Hi,
My name is Alex...
I am 31 years young, husband, Dog lover, An Arsenal fan and a keen golfer..
Also the proud owner of Cuts & Putts (formerly A Barber & Co!)
my love for barbering didn't come the same way most peoples did and there is a story behind it.....
I have been officially cutting hair full time since 2014 (roughly) and it all started when I was at Hartpury collage studying sports.
One dodgy trim left me attempting to sort it out my self with a pair of clippers and scissors I purchased from ASDA, not the best job but it was better than what I had payed for! after many failed attempts at cutting my own hair I learnt from all my mistakes! gradually trim by trim I bettered myself until one day a friend praised my hair! this then led to me cutting his hair and being trusted and let loose on a few others! The practice gave me the confidence to experiment and better myself with each and every haircut.
upon leaving collage and returning to Somerset, I continued to cut my own and also friends hair building up a client base around the area.. A few jobs later (6) I found my self with an amazing opportunity to work as a full-time Barber within a shop with only self taught experience! no Qualification just the passion and determination to better myself and the standard of barbering in the Area!!
At 25 I turned my dream of owning a shop into Reality!
After acquiring the keys late 2018 and with the help of my Dad and multiple Friends I opened the doors to
A Barber & Co March 9th 2019!
