UPDATE: Baco Muhammad, a Newcastle barber, has just opened a second location of his popular TRIMMEN salon on Gosforth High Street, following significant recognition at the UK Hair and Beauty Awards. This expansion marks a major milestone for the 31-year-old entrepreneur, who initially launched his first salon in Fenham.
Baco’s journey began in 2017 when he enrolled in a hairdressing academy, leading to his dream of creating a welcoming grooming space. “It feels really good to open our second branch,” Baco stated. “This is something we’ve been working towards for a long time, and seeing it finally happen makes all the effort worthwhile.”
The grand opening was a resounding success, attracting family, friends, and loyal clients who have supported TRIMMEN since its inception. Baco expressed his gratitude, noting, “The support from the city means a lot, and it motivates us to keep working hard.”
The atmosphere on opening day was electric, with a mix of familiar faces and new customers eager to experience what TRIMMEN has to offer. Baco emphasized the importance of creating a space where patrons feel comfortable and confident after a grooming session.
What distinguishes TRIMMEN from other salons is not just the quality of service but also its unique identity. Customers frequently comment on the salon’s cleanliness, professionalism, and the ability to take card payments, further enhancing their grooming experience. “Many clients say it feels like a proper brand rather than just an ordinary barber shop,” Baco added, highlighting the pride he takes in his business.
Looking ahead, Baco is focused on sustainable growth. “Our main focus is to grow in the right way,” he explained. “Quality and customer satisfaction will always come first for us.” While he is already toying with the idea of a third location, he remains committed to ensuring both existing branches maintain high standards.
Baco’s vision extends beyond Newcastle. He dreams of expanding TRIMMEN beyond the city and even internationally, but he insists that patience and hard work are key to achieving that goal. “Our dream is still alive,” he affirmed, expressing determination for the future.
As TRIMMEN cements its place in the community, Baco Muhammad’s story serves as a reminder of the power of local entrepreneurship and community support. Stay tuned for more updates as this inspiring journey continues.
