My Buzz
At Craig’s Barbershop in Bolton, we do more than just haircuts — we create a safe, welcoming space for everyone. Known for our work with disabled and neurodivergent individuals, we pride ourselves on inclusive, sensory-aware grooming services.

Proud to be multi-award-winning and a recognised community champion, we believe everyone deserves a great haircut — no stress, no judgement.
My Bio
Craig is an award-winning barber and passionate community advocate based in Bolton, Greater Manchester. As the founder of Craig’s Barbershop, he has become a nationally recognised figure for his work supporting disabled and neurodivergent individuals in accessing safe, respectful, and empowering haircare experiences.
Craig’s work extends far beyond the chair. He has been featured on the Auticast podcast to speak about the challenges neurodivergent people face when getting haircuts, and he regularly delivers workshops—such as his Microsoft Teams training on working with neurodivergent clients in the hair industry—to educate other professionals.
His efforts have not gone unnoticed. Craig has been honoured as a Community Champion by the Greater Manchester Integrated Care and Partnership Awards, and he is a four-time finalist for Community Hero at the Modern Barber Awards. In 2025, he was named a nominee for Positive Role Model for Disability at the prestigious National Diversity Awards, and submitted for Outstanding Community Initiative of the Year at the Autism Hero Awards.
Despite the accolades, Craig continues to focus on what matters most: providing inclusive, understanding, and anxiety-free grooming services for those often overlooked. He spends time doing community outreach, offering flexible support to ensure clients never have to choose between their comfort and their self-care.
My Business Tips
Make inclusivity a core part of your business, not just a box to tick. Listen to your clients, especially those with additional needs, and adapt your environment to support them. Simple changes like flexible booking, sensory-friendly spaces, and clear communication can make a huge difference. Always lead with empathy, and don’t be afraid to ask what works best for each individual — inclusive service builds trust, loyalty, and a stronger community.
