About Ollies

Ollies is a traditional old school barbers based in Hailsham, East Sussex that has been established since 2003 and has very loyal customer base who have been with us for a long time. We are now seeing the next generation coming through the doors. We always offer a warm and friendly greeting and enjoy all aspects of looking after our customers and now friends. Ian and his staff will go above and beyond to ensure our customers have a good experience. We keep up with all the fashionable hair styles and yet still look after our older generation. Our Shop mascot is Boston the Boxer dog who is loved by all our customers and kids. To make ourselves stand out from the rest of the barbers, we trained to look after men who suffer from male patterned baldness and we are qualified to fit hair systems and offer advice to those that are concerned. Consultations are free.

Ian is very well known and liked around the town. Ian is a very charismatic character and gives everyone a warm welcome and is always making everyone laugh. Ian is fantastic with kids. Ian has a hands-on attitude and has taught all his staff barbering.
