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

My career in the hair industry started at the age of 15, when I started an apprenticeship in hairdressing, once qualified as a level 2 hairdresser I worked 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 haircuts 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 around the UK, this gave me the opportunity to master the trade and perfect new techniques.

After 6 years of hard work in other shops I found 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.

Since opening in 2019 I’m grateful to have worked along side some great barbers and best friends. I have featured in some big barbering magazines, But my biggest achievement to date is I made finals for the Great British Barber Bash barber of the year 23 and in 2024 I took home Scottish barber of the year 3rd place. I love to challenge myself in competing and expressing my creative mind through hair.

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

I started my career in barbering in 2021 at city of Glasgow college and have been perfecting the craft ever since. After receiving my qualification I gained some experience in some shops in England for a short 6 months.

Since moving back home to Stirling I have thrived in my career as a barber not just in the day to day life but I’ve elevated my career through hard work and striving for perfection in my craft.

One of my biggest achievements is cutting hair at The Great British Barber bash hair shows and also coming third place in the “new blood” competition for the whole of the U.K.

In the future I’m excited to pursue more competitions and hair shows showcasing my skills to other barbers across the U.K.

I love working with Amy and the team here at black lotus will continue to create an all inclusive environment here
