Beyond The Cut With Kamo

Issue 113

In the vibrant heart of the North East, KAMO Barbers has established itself as more than just a place for a trim - it’s a modern grooming destination built on precision, professionalism, and passion for the craft.

Located in Dunston, Durham, and Newcastle’s Westgate Road, this stylish, high-energy barbershop is raising the bar for men’s haircare and barbering.

KAMO offers a full range of barbering services, combining traditional techniques with modern trends to deliver results that suit each individual. Whether you’re after a fresh fade, a beard reshape, or a full pampering session, KAMO’s expert barbers approach every appointment with meticulous care.

Their motto, ‘No ego’s. No pretence. No nonsense,’ encapsulates who they are and the inclusive, supportive community they are building. This isn’t just a tagline – it’s a way of working, a cultural blueprint that shapes everything from customer service to staff training. It reflects KAMO’s mission to foster a welcoming, inclusive environment, where everyone who walks through the door feels seen, heard, and cared for.

KAMO’s owner, Amy Hutchinson, said: “We’re not just building a business – we’re building a community.

KAMO was never just about haircuts – it’s about people. We’ve built a space where everyone feels welcome, respected, and included; whether they’re sitting in the chair or standing behind it. Community is at the heart of everything we do.

We’re here to support, to teach, and to grow together.”

Beyond the cut, what truly sets KAMO apart is its commitment to education and industry development through the KAMO Barber Academy. Recognising the growing demand for skilled barbers and the need for comprehensive training, KAMO launched the academy to bridge the gap between ambition and expertise.

Offering accredited training programmes for both beginners and experienced barbers looking to upskill, the academy boasts an impressive 97% employment success rate among its graduates. Students don’t just learn how to trim – they gain a full-spectrum understanding of the barbering industry, including client care, hygiene standards, and business fundamentals.

Training is hands-on and immersive, taking place right alongside KAMO’s seasoned professionals at their Westgate Road location. This real-world exposure ensures that graduates step into the workforce not only with technical skills, but with the confidence, speed, and customer service finesse that define top-tier barbers.

KAMO’s impact extends beyond haircuts. It’s a space that empowers men and women – whether they’re clients transforming their look or students transforming their future. With its unique blend of traditional craftsmanship, forward-thinking education, and community-driven values, KAMO is redefining what a barbershop can be.

So, if you’re looking for a fresh fade, a career in barbering, or simply a space that lives up to its values, KAMO Barbers is more than worth a visit.
