The barber with a time travelling salon

Outlook

Available for over a year

We talk about a bad hair day to mean a day when nothing goes quite right. There is some association between your hair looking good, and everything else feeling good. That's what motivates Lenny the Mobile Barber, or Lenny White to give his real name. His clients are all elderly men with dementia, many of them have very little short term memory left, and live in the past. So he recreates an old-fashioned barbershop, to make them feel at home, and takes it to them in the care homes of Northern Ireland.
