Welcome
New year new me lol
Welcome to the official Turner’s Barbershop blog - written & directed by me, Alex Turner - owner, barber and now blogger.
Turner’s has been growing slowly but surely since opening early 2022 but there’s no harm in wanting more exposure - so I thought entering further into digital spaces would benefit not only the online reach of the business it would in turn positively affect the number of appointments made at the shop.
Here’s a very brief bio for myself in case you were curious. I’m going to write in the third person for no particular reason:
Alexander David Turner was born in October 1984 and raised in Coventry (Play Up Sky Blues). After a brief stint working a very small social media job at a very large PR agency he indulged his hobby of cutting his assorted mates hair in assorted kitchens and bathrooms by completing a barbering qualification. After grinding it out in Brighton he worked his way up to a co-business ownership position before deciding to relocate along the coast to Worthing to pursue his first solo business venture.
Turner’s Barbershop opened in February 2022 with Alex almost ten years into his barbering career. Major challenges occasionally arose (let’s not talk about the leaky ceiling just yet - too traumatic) but the regular customers have been stacking up and his personal and professional fulfilment is at an all-time high.
OK back to speaking normally now: Thanks very much for making it to the end of the first of many blog posts. The intention is to inform and enlighten the reader with shop updates and informative blogs about hair culture. I really hope you enjoy and as always…
Long Live Turner’s Barbershop
