About this memory
Dave and me trained under my Father Bob in the West Port Shop when we were young boys.
Dave has worked in Comely Bank for 48 years, and with his good sense of humour has made our Customers laugh over the years – Dave is a Rangers supporter and I am a Celtic supporter.
Lynda’s has worked in Comely Bank for 20 years plus and she had the ability to make our Customers feel at home when they entered the Shop.
To our Customers I offered a good proper haircut for a 20 minute Appointment at the right price of £10.
We had an older Loyal Clientele that numbered a 1,000 strong – opened early in the morning and closed at 3.30 pm – we never needed to take on new Customers.
