Awww we loved Barney!!
Ian has been cutting my oldest sons hair since he was little ( about 4), he is 14 now, we went to Ian after some hairdresser who used to cut his hair on the same road told him he would cut his ear off if he didnt sit still ... he was mortified, became hysterical and would not go back ( the hair salon has since gone!!) , Ian sucsessfully picked up the "cut your ear off pieces" and we have never looked back. He has always been fantastic with my sons, and very patient when they were little ( been cutting my youngests hair since he was a baby) and if any one asks me where my sons have thier hair cut, I always reccomend him.
Ian used to cut my mums hair when he worked for a salon in Marple so I never look at him as just a "Barber" ( ouch! how time flies, it was a few years back!) and now Im just waiting for him to expand his hair cutting empire now that he works for himself to ladies so then he can cut mine!!
