‘I’ve missed our customers’: Brixton barber back in trim after 115 days

Delight as Klassique, an African-Caribbean social hub in south London, reopens after lockdown

Klassique Barbers sits just off Electric Avenue in the heart of Brixton, and for many in the area's African-Caribbean community it's not only somewhere to get a trim but also a social hub. But there has been no socialising or haircuts for 115 days - or at least there hadn't been until now.

It's been a really difficult 12 months of being open and closed," says barber Kevin Sibblies (although everyone calls him Yoggy - it even says it on his business card), who has run Klassique since it opened in 2005. Hopefully, the government doesn't change its mind again and we're open now for good."
