  • Welcome to Off the Back Barbers

    Thank you for visiting the shop's site.   We've been in Peebles since 2005 and have been offering appointments via our Nearcut Booking System since 2016.  Why?   Because quite simply, you guys are busy!  Who wants to wait in a queue for hours when there is so much more to do?  This site is pretty simple, there's not much to look at so just get your haircut booked in & get on with your life! 

    We'll see you soon.  

    Out of hours queries can be sent via the Shop's Facebook page

     

About us

Stephen

Stephen

I am Off the Back! 

Born in Glasgow, live in Peebles.

After leaving school, I worked in the Royal Bank of Scotland in Giffnock.  I moved through to East Lothian in 1986 then joined Standard Life in 1987.  17 years later, I was made redundant and the rest is history!  I decided that I never wanted to work in the office environment again so I went to college and did a barbering course.  Now, in 2025, I recently celebrated 20 years of Off the Back and, for the most part, it's been a blast!  

If you want to talk to me about barbering, rugby or photography then you can call 07966781702.  

Max

Max has been working at the shop on a self employed basis since December 2023.

Since then he has built up an impressive client base and is busy most days.  

We call him 'Slim Fadey' as he does magical fades and we like to think he's the best in town when it comes to this cut.  It's not the only thing he does though so get booked in with him soon.  

Max plays for Peebles RFC and was in the squad that gained promotion to National 1 at the end of Season 23/24. 

If you need to call him, his number is 07802 296235.
