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 Carrick, Barber at Black Lotus. I started here shortly after the shop opened as an apprentice, after going to college and getting my barbering qualification, I worked my way up from Junior Barber to eventually dropping the ‘Junior’ title, after a year of committing myself to learning the craft.

My key focus is to make my clients feel great, whether it’s through a strong new look or a classic clean cut. I aim to create a relaxed and professional environment for everyone that sits in my chair.

I am passionate about the industry and bringing my own style to it, and I am keen to make that show in my work.
