Established in 2019 by founder Amy Wright, Black Lotus Barbers is an appointment-based barber shop in the heart of Stirling. 

I’m Amy, founder and owner of Black Lotus Barbers.

My career started at the age of 15, when I started an apprenticeship in hairdressing, once qualified I worked as hairdresser for a year before taking the opportunity to go travelling.

Travelling took me to the States where I worked for Camp America where I became the unofficial onsite hairdresser, due to the mass amounts of gents this is where I learned the basic skills and techniques of barbering and where my love of barbering began.

After 4 years of traveling, I decided to come back to Scotland to continue my barbering journey, where I have been lucky enough to work with some incredible barbers, this gave me the opportunity to master the trade and perfect new techniques.

Having worked in the industry for 6 years, the next step in my career would be to bring the experience I’ve gained to my own barber shop in my hometown of Stirling. My vision was to create an all inclusive, sophisticated and relaxed environment for everyone who walks through the door, while continuing to keep my standards consistently high.

In an industry with no boundaries, I aim to continue expanding my knowledge and push myself in the profession that I love.

I’m Harris and I cut hair.

Hi I’m Mac, you will probably find me around the shop on a Saturday greeting clients or doing general cleaning. I’m just starting off on my journey to becoming a barber a bit later than most I have done a 9-5 job since I left school but I have always wanted a job I can be creative and passionate about.

After seeing the passion and pride the barbers at black lotus put in to their work I knew that was my next career path. I’m currently at college learning the basics to become a junior barber but I’m lucky enough to know Amy from years ago when I was coaching her how to play American football with the Edinburgh wolves woman’s team. Amy asked if I would like to come in and be the Saturday boy to learn how it all works and Get hands on with the tools. It has definitely helped me a lot.

Hopefully people will start seeing me alot more in the coming months/years as I make my transition in to becoming a barber full time.

I’m Erin, a junior barber here at black lotus. I qualified as a barber from the city of Glasgow college with an NVQ in Barbering, I am in the early stages of my career as a barber but I’m very excited and committed to to put in the hard work needed for perfecting the craft.

I aim to provide my clients with the confidence and love for their haircuts whether it’s just as simple as a weekly trim or a bigger change in style for them.

I am very pleased to be starting my journey in Black Lotus and looking forward to what the future holds for me in this great shop!
