About this memory
1999 – Charlie’s first start in hairdressing was, with my Father at “Bobs” 116 West Port. He begged an Apprenticeship and he couldn’t wait to start.
He’s a genius with hair and design a Giant in the Industry and everyone who comes into contact with him always says the same thing , he may be successful but he never forgets his roots, that he was a wee boy who came from Niddrie. A sentiment shared by his very close friend Tom Farmer.
