A BARBER in Barrow is taking haircuts to spooktacular new heights.

Owner of Devro’s Barbers, Paul Devlin, has impressed his following with the spider hair-do he created on his model Mike Shaw.

Mr Devlin said: “There’s a video of a guy in America that’s done it and I kept getting tagged in it by locals and I didn’t want to disappoint them.

“I just tried it to see what it would turn out like, it took the good part of an hour to do.

“If people asked me for it I would charge about £30 because of the time it takes.

“I love doing hair cuts like this, the creative side of the job.

“I spend a lot of time looking for new ideas.”

When asked if he thought the hair-do will catch on Mr Devlin said: “Well I don’t know about that.

“I’m actually hoping to get some more models so I can create more Halloween designs."

The social media post in which Mr Devlin showcased his eight legged design stated that he used Fab hair fibres to enhance the colour of the spider.

Mike Shaw, another barber at Devro’s, received the spooky cut said: “We were just chatting about it because loads of people tagged him in a video of the design and he didn’t want to let them down.

“I said well my hair’s just grown back so I’ll do it.

“I don’t know if I should keep it or not, I can’t decide.

“It’s just one of those daft things that happens when you’re at work.

“You’d be surprised, it happens quite a lot when one of us gets an idea.”

Two of Devro’s Barbers staff, along with a ex-employee travelled to Salon International in London on Sunday after being asked to cut hair on the British Barbers Association stand as credit for winning their hall of fame award on four separate occasions.

Mr Devlin won the award in November 2018, Beth Johnston won December 2018, Leigh O’Donnell won it in may 2019 and Charlotte Devlin, Paul’s daughter, won it in June 2019.

While at Salon International, Paul Devlin also did a design demo on the Fab hair product stand.

The barbers on Cavendish Street has been serving the people of Barrow for 10 years.
