Meet the Team
Craig Saunders
In 2003 I started my career in ladies and men’s hairdressing. Growing up in London my first job was at a salon in Mayfair, before moving to salons in Knightsbridge, Covent Garden and then Camden, finally settling down in Shoreditch for 8 years.
In 2017 I moved to Bury St Edmunds, and decided to focus solely on men’s hair. My barbering is heavily influenced by my time as a hairdresser.
I'm equally as happy to get the scissors out to create shape and texture with longer styles, as I am cutting a short back and sides.
