Sam Massey, owner of Grindhaus – winner of Best Shop Interior at the Modern Barber Awards 2024 wrote on their Instagram page: "Thank you once again to everyone who's been involved with Grindhaus. We can't believe we're only six months into business and already we're an award winning salon - it means the world."
David Sturgeon and Valeria Berrazueta, the Directors behind 2022's winning barbershop, shepherds, said: "Winning was a big achievement for shepherds as we wanted to bring to Birmingham a space where people can relax and have a great haircut. The customer journey has always been at the heart of our brand and having a great space for our clients to enjoy has been key to our success. It is great to have all of our design efforts recognised with this award as we wanted to set the bar high in the industry and focus on quality rather than quantity. The shop was designed thinking of the city and its independent community, we wanted to show how great Birmingham is and the great potential it has for entrepreneurs."
Top Tips
David and Valeria also advise: “Be genuine and ensure your concept is close to your heart and values. Make sure that it suits your clientele and following as you will be fulfilling their expectations.”
Something else to consider when completing your entry is providing evidence - this is particularly key for Best Shop Interior, as while hearing about your design is great, the judges need to be able to see it in all its glory.
Criteria - If you have more than one barbershop, please focus your entry on just one location. No mix and match!
