Staff from the the Men's Cutting Room barber shop have celebrated the business's 20th birthday.

Chris Delsignore, owner of the Queen Street business, attributes its success to the quality of highly trained staff and their strong customer care focus.

Managing the salon is her son Lee Wood and his brother Ryan is also a main stylist.

Mrs Delsignore said: "Training apprentices throughout the years, Lee has passed on his talents and showcased his skills at charity events and won Wahl clipper awards.

"Ryan joined the team 12 years ago, gaining a great flare for the trade.

"Paula Young joined 20 years ago - already a skilled barber.

"Her son Stewart Thorpe joined as a Saturday assistant at the age of 14. He then completed his apprenticeship. He stays abreast of all the new styles through continuous studying.

"Yvette Thomas joined the team 20 years ago. She moved down from London where she began her cutting career."

More recent additions include Sean Coleman. He has a busy clientele where he worked in Dover for the past 13 years. He started working at the Queen Street shop two years ago. That same year Jorden Brown joined.

The newest member of staff is Sharon Russell, who worked at her previous salon for 23 years, making another great asset to the team.

Mrs Delsignore said: "We are so grateful to our loyal customers for their continued support. We've gained a lot of friends throughout the years.

"Our success is due to a highly experienced team of barbers who cater for all ages, traditional styles and current up to date fashions.

"We pride ourselves on customer care in a friendly atmosphere."
