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

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

Hi, I am sorry to hear this. As always, I encourage you to give feedback, and would love the chance to remedy the situation. I feel there is always a fix for these things. I am not perfect a 100% of the time, but I always follow up with clients. I would invite you to come back, free of charge, of course! If we can't fix it, which I believe we can, I will happily refund your money. I pride myself on giving my clients what they want!

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
The Undercut
by Buck Lightning Rumstache (They/She/He)
Buck was great - I was a bit nervous about getting a more extreme undercut but they talked me through it and gave me their professional opinion and I’...m glad I went for something you can actually see (especially before Pride weekend). A friend even commented on how good and neat the shave was. I’ll definitely be coming back Show more

Wow. Just wow. Apart from Buck now becoming my go to hair artist, they might just be the most beautiful person I’ve ever encountered. A fantastic welc...oming environment, with an especially clever outlay, and a particularly lovely Karen as the establishment mascot, this place will make you want to ditch all other hairdressers and dedicate your hair to the hands and fingers of the devilishly talented Buck. A REAL gender neutral premises with an über gorgeous and gifted artist. My advice to you all is to book with Buck now and never look back. You will not regret this one, worth every penny and more.
