A new hairdressing shop called Luxury Barbers has opened in Stapleford on the High Street. Reaction to the new barbers has been mixed with some residents saying they would have preferred a new butcher's shop or a bank. However, there was also a lot of support for new business from residents who want to see it succeed instead of having an empty shopfront on the street.
The new barber's shop was once a sweet shop called Yum Yum that closed in August 2021. The new barbers is next door to Chrissy's hair salon that opened last year and Bargain Buys. It has been given a smart new look with a black and gold sign over the door.

To those that will grumble… yes we have several barbers already, but when you are ploughing hard-earned savings into a new venture you usually do a lot of groundwork to see if it’s viable - I guess despite having several barbers, there is a need for another. It’s certainly one commodity that can’t be purchased online."
