It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of one of the founders of The Leading Edge Hair & Beauty, our dear friend and colleague, Barrie, who passed away peacefully on Saturday 4th July.
For more than 50 years, Barrie dedicated his life to the art of hairdressing, caring for clients across Denton, Gorton, Reddish, Burnley, Manchester and Hyde. Throughout his remarkable career, he touched the lives of thousands of customers, worked alongside countless colleagues, and made many lifelong friends.
Barrie was more than an exceptional hairdresser he was a mentor, a gentleman, and someone whose warmth, humour and kindness left a lasting impression on everyone fortunate enough to know him. His legacy will live on through the salon he helped build and the many people whose lives he enriched.
He will be deeply missed by his family, friends, colleagues, and the thousands of loyal clients who placed their trust in him over the years.
