About Grim

My name is Graham Grimshaw, but in the barbering world I’m known as Grimbarber. With over 19 years in the industry, my passion for barbering is as strong today as when I first picked up the clippers.

I specialise in Afro and textured hair, but my skills extend across all hair types. I’m also known for my pattern and design work—from sharp line work to detailed images, logos, and even cartoon characters crafted directly into the hair.

Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of competing at the highest level and showcasing my skills on some of the biggest stages with leading brands such as Wahl, Andis, and Gamma+. I was proud to win Afro Barber of the Year in both 2017 and 2021.

Competing and pushing my creativity keeps me sharp, but my greatest reward is behind the chair, bringing precision, style, and confidence to my clients.

I have a loyal and ever-growing client list, but I always welcome new faces—so don’t hesitate to book in and experience the craft of Grimbarber.
