Change of name and owner at upmarket barber's shop

Manetain is the new name of the barber's shop at No 27 Kirkgate, which previously was Dexter's. Mikey Whitaker, pictured above, has bought the business from Josh Matthew, who opened Dexter's in July 2015 and quickly showed there was a local demand for upmarket male grooming. At work on the left is Mikey's fellow barber Joe Sorge.

Mikey, from Bingley, worked for Josh before acquiring the business in September, 2019. The following month he changed the frontage colours from red to a distinctive blue and gave the business an eye-catching new name and lion logo. Mikey trained at Craven College and has been a hairdresser/barber for six years.
