Kurdish barber chooses Silsden for his first shop

The Silsden Barber business which opened at 5 Bolton Road in April is owner Saim Sarwan's first shop. Saim, pictured above, is a Kurd and came to Liverpool from Iran a couple of years ago. Having decided to open his own shop, he found the premises in Silsden through a friend in Bradford and says he is delighted to be in such a welcoming community.
The shop in Bolton Road has been a barber's for a few years and previously was AJ's, which opened there in 2013.
