Craig Molyneux

Craig has been barbering since 2012, when he opened his first barbershop while still at barber college. Barbering wasn’t quite the original plan: after catering college he was told it was a quick 17-week course, which turned out to be a two-year apprenticeship.

Along the way he took a detour into hairdressing, completing an apprenticeship and working in a salon before finding his way back to barbering. That salon background is a big part of his skill set. Fades and traditional barbering are second nature, but Craig particularly enjoys mid-length hair, texture, flow and relaxed, lived-in styles.

He’ll talk to anyone, and he’s usually the one keeping the shop laughing. His standard is simple: you don’t leave until he’s happy with your haircut. Even if the gown is off and he spots something, you’re probably sitting back down.

Senior Barber · Co-owner

Joe

Joe trained and worked in unisex hair salons before moving into barbering and managing a barbershop. That’s where the idea for Esquire began. He asked a simple question: why can’t a barbershop offer the same experience as a high-end salon? Esquire is the answer, and Joe now co-owns and runs the shop with Craig.

His hairdressing background shows in the way he cuts. Joe has a strong understanding of shape, texture and movement, and he particularly enjoys longer men’s hairstyles, creating natural, effortless looks that are easy to manage. He also has a real respect for classic, timeless barbering.

A self-confessed perfectionist, Joe takes his time over every consultation and makes sure you know how to style your hair at home. Away from the shop you’ll find him in the garden, on the allotment or looking after the chickens.

Barber

Melissa

Melissa always wanted a career in hair. She studied hairdressing and barbering at college after leaving school, and she brings around six years of barbering experience to Esquire, having joined the team in September 2026.

She’s especially passionate about longer hairstyles, restyles and transformations, and enjoys working out exactly what you’re looking for before helping you get there. Communication and attention to detail are at the heart of how she works.

Melissa also has experience supporting people with disabilities and additional needs, which has made her patient, understanding and good at adapting so everyone feels comfortable. She can be a little quiet at first, but once she comes out of her shell her fun personality shines through.

Barber

Jodie

Jodie started her barbering career at Esquire and has been cutting hair for just over a year. Before that she spent years working in substance misuse, prisons, rehabilitation and therapy, and barbering gave her a way to keep working with people in a much more relaxed setting.

She loves anything a little different. Mullets are among her favourite cuts, and she particularly enjoys alternative styles and shorter cuts on women. She listens to what you actually want rather than deciding for you, and she’s a real perfectionist about the finish.

Everyone should feel able to be themselves in Jodie’s chair, especially anyone who doesn’t always feel at home in a traditional barbershop. Fancy a good chat or would rather sit back and chill? Either is fine. Outside the shop she’s a qualified psychotherapist and a DJ, performing as JÄGØ.
