Kaz owns and runs the shop. Will is the senior chair, eight years on the clippers. Marcel is the newest, building his book with an intro rate. Same standard on every chair: real prices, slot runs as long as the cut, every head gets the time it needs.
Founder. Master barber. The reason Caliber exists.
Kaz opened Caliber on Southbourne Grove with one rule: take the time the cut needs, charge the price on the wall. The slot runs as long as the cut runs.
If your last fade grew out wrong in a week, or the line behind your ear never quite sat right, book Kaz once and compare. He's patient with kids and teenagers ("not intimidating like many other barbers in Southbourne," one mum wrote on Booksy) and gives grandads a proper old-school finish at the £12 senior rate without hurrying them out.
Twelve years on the clippers. Five stars from the last 28 people in his chair on Booksy, more across Google. First cut is a tenner off. If it isn't what you asked for, you haven't paid full to find out.
"The best barber in Bournemouth. A great cut every time, always competitively priced and just an incredibly personalised service. Absolutely no spin or pretence like many of the modern barbers, always feels like a breath of fresh air."
"My 12 and 13 year old boys love getting their hair done by Kaz. He takes his time and he's great at what he does. Not intimidating like many other barbers in Southbourne. Can't recommend him enough."
Eight years on the clippers. Top skill, top detail.
Will, known to most as Wizz, is the second chair at Caliber. Eight years in. Skin fades, scissor work, beards, restyles.
Will works slow on purpose. Fades that stay clean past a fortnight, line-ups that don't wobble, beards shaped to sit right after the drive home. Regulars from his last shop still book him here. That's the reference.
Not on Booksy yet. Walk in when the door's open, or text the shop to slot a time. Worth the extra step.
"Been going to Will for three years, never disappoints. Always a great time catching up and meeting my guy."
"Great barber. Made him feel at ease and kept him laughing. He's really chuffed with his new cut. Thanks."
Crisp fades. Precision beard trims.
Marcel is the newest chair at Caliber. Fades tight to the skin, beards shaped to the jaw.
Intro rate on your first cut while he builds his book. Fair trade, better price, same standard as the other two chairs. The sort of cuts where the line behind your ear still looks clean a week in.
Not on Booksy yet. Walk in when the door's open, or text the shop to find out when he's in. Mention the intro rate when you arrive.
"Excellent haircut and beard trim."
"Top level service."
