Barber Baron moves salon to new Burnley town centre location
Baron Laird (46) established Jazzman Grooves in Bull Street in 1989, but has now moved – across the road – to the former Burnley Express reception.
Baron, who was treated at Blackburn and Preston hospitals, said: “The cancer really put things into perspective so when the opportunity came to move into bigger premises I thought, why not. I’ve been fascinated by barbers shops since being a child and I’m really pleased with the new place, we’ve already got a lot of new clients and it’s looking very stylish.”
