Looks like we made it.."
This week sees our little dungeon of hair and debauchery turn 1, and what a year it has been. I promised myself I wouldn't get emotional but here I am, standing in line for my $1 hotdog at IKEA crying, wondering if I have the mental fortitude to interpret the instructions for the "Skruvby" cabinet i have in my trolley.
I just wanted to setup a barbershop that was based on community. Not a brand, not insta views, not pretension, not an inflated pricing schedule, not ego. Just a barbershop dishing out elite grooming and diabolical conversations in a space that welcomes and encourages comfort. Where everybody knows your name and you're always glad you came. Where as a client you feel like a friend and feel spoilt and taken care of. All signs are telling me that thus far I have succeeded.
I have no hesitation to say I genuinely love the assortment of folks who come down that stairwell and sit in our 60 year old Raynor chairs. I wouldn't do this job if I didn't, and I wouldn't have rolled the dice on opening a shop a month after becoming a dad if I didn't need a change to a business model that rewards returning clients and nurtures a horizontal relationship structure. Yet again, not ego, just mutual respect.
The fun little conversations, @rcjefferies ridiculous amount of keys, @fun.key.town and his holy rat's tail that no one thought would be around this long, @krisrodda and his Whisky tutelage that continues to hit the mark, @jackpayn._ and his christening of the shop early one Tuesday morning. Countless memories, quirks, convos and laughs that make me more than proud of what this space is doing and how it is operating.
On Saturday the 22nd we'll raise a few frothys to the 12 months that has been and cast an eye forward to what is yet to come. It has easily been the greatest and most tiring year of my life and my gratitude knows no bounds.
Thank you infinitely to those who made this all happen, particularly @laurenbrento who's unwavering belief carries me and all who've come down and enjoyed all that TCB Barbershop is. I love this place and I love you. Let's keep taking care of business together.
Much love,
Tim⚡️

Love you and am so very proud of you as always @tim_surname. You never need to thank me, just like you’ll always bet on black, I’ll always have your back 😉 You should be damn proud of @tcb.adl, it’s unlike any other barbershop in town and that’s because of you and how much you pour into it. It’s a labour of love and I’m sure everyone who makes their way down the stairs feels that in some capacity. Happy early 1st Birthday and here’s to many more 🍾🥂 P.S am I allowed to enter the meat raffle or am I banned?
