The Consultation For Everything Else - £2 Discount

Amazing !
The Newby Short - All Hair Types
by Buck Lightning Rumstache (They/She/He)
Amazing haircut, great chats and made to feel very comfortable and welcome :) Highly recommended 👌
The Medium - All Hair types
by Buck Lightning Rumstache (They/She/He)
Buck is a fantastic hairdresser, and works hard to make sure you feel heard and safe (because having your hair cut can feel quite vulnerable!). They'r...e always great to chat to, and I know they offer the option of a quiet cut too if that's your preference - accessibility & genuine inclusion is clearly a priority for him and it shows at every step of the process, from the booking form onwards. Plus you get to hang out with a very cute cat and staffie - always a highlight. Highly recommended. Show more
The Newby Long - New Look - All Hair Types
by Buck Lightning Rumstache (They/She/He)
I had a really nice experience and I’m so happy with my new hairstyle!! They are such a lovely crew, had great music on, I felt really welcomed. Buck ...did a brilliant job and I had Prince in my lap the whole time, which really helped me as I was a bit nervous (I hadn’t had my hair done by anyone but myself in 5 years 🤣) It was a lovely treat ❤️ Show more
Roots
by Buck Lightning Rumstache (They/She/He)
Within the mist over troubled waters Stormy elements collide and clash: Each vying for dominance within their own domain Lightning chases Thunder acro...ss darkened skies. The harder Lightning cracks their brilliant whip, the further Thunder runs: In pain the beast roars with every strike And thus we stand, in awe of the victory, Whilst the heavens hang low and cry pouring rain. (Paraphrasing from a poem I once read, but I cannot find the original source.) Show more

There once was a barber from Brighton, who spirits were seen to light'n, when reading a post that praised them the most, that lucky 'young' barber from Brighton

by Buck Lightning Rumstache (They/She/He)
An absolutely lovely experience! I had the amazing Prince (the most precious kitty I’ve ever met) sit on my lap while I was getting my hair done and i...t made me significantly less anxious. Buck is friendly and I doubt anyone else could have made my buzzcut suit me more. I have my Britney Spears moment! Show more

Loved my cut! Would definitely recommend!
The Newby Medium - All Hair Types The COLOUR Consultation - *£5 discount offer
by Buck Lightning Rumstache (They/She/He)
To say that I was blown away by the team at Lightning Like Scissors is a massive understatement. In alphabetical order to acknowledge their combined c...ontribution, I would like to sincerely thank Buck, Kaia (sp?), Karen and Prince for their decency, respect, kindness and generosity of spirit, and I do so from the very bottom of my heart. In particular, Prince did a stellar job of helping to control my stress levels. Buck is undoubtedly one of the most kind, insightful and knowledgeable people that I've spoken to in recent memory, and they did such a fantastic job of restoring my appearance by fixing my hair that I think I might now be able to face the world properly again. As someone who is all of enby, neurodiverse and trans, I'm not accustomed to being cared for and supported in this modern world that we find ourselves in, and my appointment was an infinitely rare chance to bring myself out of the misery and mire that forms the horror show of cisnormative society. Book now. Seriously, don't wait like I did. Just do it. p.s. Buck, please add me to the cult waiting list XD Show more

My appointment really good, the thought of giving more information to tailor my experience. I was really nervous going but Buck is such a kind and lov...ely person. My haircut is so cool! It has given me more confidence, I've had so many compliments and I have been telling my friends about my experience. Thank you, and so sorry its taken me so long to write a review! Show more

Absolutely fabulous cut.
The Newby Short - All Hair Types
by Buck Lightning Rumstache (They/She/He)
Got a hot new do, was pretty terrified going from long hair to a short style but had a really good experience. Got to talk through and figure out what... i wanted, and buck was great and understanding. Felt like i was able to say what i felt about how it was looking, when we initially finished my hair didnt feel quite right and i was feeling overwhelmed by it as i couldnt figure out what needed doing. We arranged for me to come back in a couple days after i could live in it for a bit (and get over the shock of such a big hair change), and soooo grateful for this suggestion. Rlly love how it turned out after going back for the last adjustments, rlly appreciate the patience and understanding :> Show more

I cannot express how lovely Buck was. Out of all the stylists I've beeh to Buck (and Princey) went the most of of their way to make me feel comfortabl...e. If you're nervous about getting a haircut I would 10000% say come here. I can only give 3 stars though because I didn't leave with the haircut I wanted. I asked for a short mullet, and whilst my hair is now shorter its definitely not a mullet. I have no length at the back so it's very top-heavy, which I don't think I have the faceshape for. I think they maybe just didn't understand what I wanted, maybe I wasn't clear enough, but I had enough length already to play with and showed photos so I don't understand how the cut I have ended up with is this far off what I wanted. Lovely environment and very friendly, but I won't be coming back Show more

Thanks Buck, Rowan is delighted with his new hair - first time he’s ever left a barber happy! Thank you for being so patient and understanding with hi...m, he really appreciated that you explained what you were doing every step of the way. Thanks to Prince & Karen for the pet cuddles too! Show more
