The Newby
by Buck Lightning Rumstache (They/She/He)
Super nice service at this place, really friendly and made me very comfortable. Listened to what i wanted and ended up with an awesome cut that i love.... The whole place has great vibes and Buck was super lovely the whole time, I can't wait to see what the place looks like once renovations are done. She was also really open and accommodating about trying to make the space accessible, physically and with the form when booking. Just a really awesome place and I would highly recommend it to anyone.

The 3 Weeker - Fine to Medium Density
by Buck Lightning Rumstache (They/She/He)
Before coming to Buck’s, having my hair cut was a sensory nightmare - too many people, too much noise and product scents. Buck’s expert cutting has su...btly changed my hair and their kindness has helped me to accept my significant hair loss. Show more

The Medium Highlight'ning The Roots-to-ends Semi/Demi
by Buck Lightning Rumstache (They/She/He)
I had an appointment booked for Monday at 3pm and at 9:30am I recieved a message from Buck cancelling the appointment for later that day. They told me... they would contact me to reschedule and I didn't hear back from them. The next day when I told them I would prefer to go elsewhere, they refused to give me back my £50 deposit that I had paid them 2 weeks earlier. When offered the chance to reschedule, I declined as by this point they had become unprofessional and unwelcoming and I did not feel comfortable resuming business with them. Such a disappointment because I've visited them before and had a good experience. It doesn't seem fair to me that I would lose my deposit if I were to cancel an appointment with less than 6 hours notice, yet I am denied a refund when they cancel last minute. I'm not writing this out of anger or spite, I'm just let down and want to share my experience. Edit: Since writing this review, Buck has called me a liar, spiteful, and a troll. Absolutely appauling response to this whole situation. Very disappointing. Show more

I am sorry to see this. Your appointment was NOT CANCELLED, it was to be rescheduled. As your stylist was dealing with a torn bicep and needed treatment, they were unable to attend. Your deposit still remains as a store credit. Given the fact specialist products were ordered for your appointment, we are unable to refund. You cancelling your appointment to go and see another stylist is not a reason for refund (which would be impossible in the time you state, given under UK law no colour service can be performed at a new salon can be performed without a skin sensitivity test, which takes 48 hours) We offered discounts, to come on our day off to accommodate your needs. You refused. Instead of rescheduling like every other client on Monday, you have changed your mind. This is not a reason for a refund. It is incredibly disappointing that all facts are not mentioned here. In the sea of 5 star reviews, and even by your own mention in this review, I hope clients will be able to read between the lines and see that we at Lightning Like Scissors Foster a safe, support environment for clients, and it's members alike. This means support goes both ways, and we are disappointed at your lack of compassion and understanding in this situation. At no point have we not been clear with terms and conditions regarding deposits. All information regarding T's and C's can be found on our website.

It was a pleasure to have my hair cut and transformed at the aptly named Lightning Like Scissors. I felt incredibly welcome and cared for during my wh...ole experience. The colours and decor of the shop alone were delightful on the eyes. I love my hair so much! Many thanks to Buck (and Karen!) for a great experience. Show more

The Newby Ultra/ Extreme Transformation
by Buck Lightning Rumstache (They/She/He)
My son attended as was fed up of his normal strictly male barbers . This left him not having a hair cut for over a year . My son enjoyed how thorough ...the booking was to get to know him , Could not recommend Buck enough, they took the time to really listen to my sons needs and he was so happy with the whole experience he wants to go back again. Buck took photos of before and after that I am happy for them to add them to this review. Thank you Buck see you in 4 weeks . Show more

Probably the only person I would trust to cut my hair!
The Newby
by Buck Lightning Rumstache (They/She/He)
As a gay cis female who prefers a good short haircut from a barber, it’s strangely still pretty hard to find spaces happy to invite me in. Buck is n...ot only very serious about creating a safe space, but an excellent barber at that. Thank you Buck. Can’t wait for my next haircut. Cheers and Happy Pride! Show more
