Excellent service as always! Shop was clean and safe as it could possibly be with hand sanitiser on arrival and email to inform us about masks and other information! Masks didn’t stop me and James having a good old catch up! 5 star service all round.

Had a great experience at Number 47 in Hoole today. James gave me a great cut, and I felt completely at ease as everything set up perfectly to be Covid-safe. Only thing to remember is it's cash only, but there's a Post Office ATM right across the road if you need it.

About us

Ollie Foster - Director/ Head of Education

International Educator Ollie has always had a keen interest in hair and fashion. Growing up, Ollie was a Goalkeeper, Musician, Theatrical and after completing further education decided to peruse a Hairdressing apprenticeship. He did this for about a year before leaving to become a full time P.E Coach while balancing a music career. In 2015, I dropped everything to come back to hair and try my luck with the clippers. “Seeing 47 grow to where we are today has been amazing and we are still watching it grow!” Ollie has educated all over the globe with The Great British Barber Bash and this is a huge passion of his. If he’s not running around the world he's with his wonderful daughter Lyla.
