George Jones is the man behind the new venture. He wants to make male grooming more accessible for people in the city. 

George said: “During the pandemic, I, like many people, found it challenging to get a haircut. But I was also saddened to see so many barber shops simply close overnight, with many never reopening their doors. That's when the idea for Barberoo struck me. I wanted to create an eco-friendlier and tech-savvy solution for grooming.

“Our aim isn't to replace traditional barbershops, but to enrich them with technology, simultaneously opening doors to an entirely new demographic of clients that might have remained out of reach otherwise. For customers, our AI technology is not just a gimmick either. We’ve invested heavily in this transformative element that personalises the grooming journey matching people up to their perfect barber at their own convenience. Waiting in queues is a thing of the past.”

George added: "Our vision doesn't stop at Manchester and the North-West. We're on a mission to bring Barberoo's innovative grooming experience to every corner of the UK. We're dedicated to pushing the boundaries, enhancing the grooming experience, and making every client feel exceptional. Barberoo isn't just about cutting hair; we want to change how people see barbering one cut at a time.”
