Chesterfield barbers, Less Than Zero based on Soresby Street has been busy providing support for residents across Chesterfield, with the team giving free haircuts to boys ahead of the new school year.
The barbers, which has won multiple awards, is working to engage the local community and give back to families who are feeling the pinch due to the current cost-of-living. The business is working alongside local charity, Gussie’s Kitchen to book appointments for those in need.
School-age boys in the town are able to book a free appointment at the barbershop on Soresby Street, on a Thursday and Friday morning between 9am – 10am ahead of the school year.
Each appointment will last 30 minutes and can accommodate 12 people per session. While benefitting local families, the initiative will also enable apprentices at Less Than Zero to gain vital experience and training.

Less Than Zero owner and founder, Martin Wallis-Keyworth commented: “We are always seeking ways to support different members of the community in Chesterfield and felt this would help parents of school boys just that little bit more before they head back into the school year again soon.
“As we don’t usually open until 10am anyway, offering these sessions utilises the skills of the team and gives more training to our apprentices and also brings more footfall into the town centre too.”
Those interested in booking an appointment are being encouraged to book early. The appointments take place at 7 Soresby Street, Chesterfield, S40 1JW. To book, simply visit the Gussie’s Kitchen facebook page https://www.facebook.com/gussiessuperkitchen/ and choose your day and time.
Less Than Zero supports the marketing and economic growth of the town through Chesterfield Champions, a network of over 200 organisations across Chesterfield and North Derbyshire.
