HAIRDRESSING

i don’t cut patterns,
i cut your hair the way you want it cut & that will suit you best.
it’s all about giving you sexy, manageable hair. that suits you.

i will never stop trying to get better,
i am only as good as my last haircut.
& seriously, i amaze myself at just how good i am.

i love straight hair,
i love curly hair,
i love blonde hair,
i love dark hair,
i love red hair,
thick hair, fine hair.

i don’t care,
i love all hair,
i love your hair.


x, James

ABOUT ME

song by cowboymod

hey, i am James, & i have been hairdressing since June 1981. in the years that followed i have worked in many salons from Oxford to Henley to London, i have worked in America as well.




first & foremost i see myself as an artist,

i can draw, paint, sculpt, design, create, imagine, almost do anything creative with my hands, it is a wonderful gift, but hair is my passion, even after all these years.

& i believe only an artist can cut hair.

i feel the majority of people that cut hair these days are only pattern cutters, following the guidance of others, they are not the designers. it would not be possible to find as many artists or designers in any town as you find haircutters. it is for this reason that i found working with others too limiting for me & i have worked for myself since 1991.

i opened my store here in oxford in november 1995. but after almost 30 years of living in the shop window, being on display, the whole time, i have decided to move downstairs, & the store is now occupied by the quirky barbers. but, i am still here, just taking a quieter approach.

in my life i have also been fortunate enough to be a photographer, & with that have toured with bands like oasis, paul weller, shot morrissey for his passport, been in thailand with eagles, to name just a few. it’s been a great life, & one i look forward to achieving more in.
