Skipton barbers AJ’s have expanded to open a new shop in Silsden.

Just over nine years ago, Alvin Dennis and Julie Woodham took the plunge and decided, after many years of working for other people, to open their own business in Skipton (opposite Bizzie Lizzies).

The pair have decided that the time is right to expand operations and have just opened AJ's Silsden in Bolton Road.

They have completely transformed the former greengrocers opposite Silsden Park to create “an environment which welcomes customers to a friendly and well equipped male grooming experience”.

Julie, a mum of three, said: “We've had many loyal customers from Silsden and the surrounding areas over the years and we've decided that its time we became 'more local', and I know what it's like getting little ones to sit still so we've got a dedicated area for the troublesome young man in your life who still wants to look his best!”
