New barber joins High Street

Azeez, originally from Kurdistan, and who has been in the UK for nine years, has opened Azeez Barber on the High Street by the traffic lights. For the last three years he has plied his trade in Haywards Heath and before that he worked in Spain.

He was made aware of Hurstpierpoint when a resident of the village was in his shop in Haywards Heath and told him about Hurst. “She recommended this village, saying it was very friendly and told me I should give it a go.” He opened at the end of March and is open seven days a week. Azeez has already found plenty of takers for his traditional style of Kurdish barber, with the speciality being hot towel and wet head shave, among other things. Most importantly he has had a good welcome in the village. “People are very friendly here, always stopping to say hello and have a chat. I am looking forward to working here and meeting more of the village.”
