ORIGINALLY opening on April 13, in the Creedy Centre, 117 High Street, Crediton, R & G Barbershop and Shaving Parlor, as it was then, has proven to be an extremely popular addition to the town,

Proprietors Robin Bishop and Gemma Davies, began their new venture after saving their pennies and embarking on their idea of the perfect barbershop after perfecting their craft.

Robin started cutting his friends hair at school but the results were both varied and unpredictable!

When he left school he spent five years in the Army and perfected the art of the “high and tight” clipper work.? When he left the Army he decided to get qualified as a barber (not a hairdresser) and then traveled the world cutting hair and learning new ways and techniques.

After qualifying as a barber in college straight from school, Gemma worked in a couple of Barbershops and then left the industry to pursue other avenues including a stint working for a brewery!

Incidentally this is where she met Rob and after talking they both discovered that they had a mutual passion and a love for Barbering.

Since starting the business, they have gone from strength to strength, building on their solid reputation for great service and a high level of expertise.

They soon out grew their parlor in the Creedy Centre and set up their new premises on Market Street, with their grand opening in September 2014.

They have employed more staff to keep up with demand, but never compromising on the high standard that their clients came to expect.

Now, they have a boutique style salon just for ladies too that offers a professional and bespoke hairdressing experience for ladies and girls including fringe cutting, cut and blow dry, root retouching, colouring and highlights, pretty much everything!

Hairdresser, Yvette Thompson is a highly experienced and creative stylist working originally in boutique salons in London.
