On the Road

Free Cuts & BSSET

Mo brings free cuts and BSSET to Belfast.

6 October 2026

Mo is in Belfast, Ireland, giving out free haircuts at Gordon's Cornmarket and handing out BSSET to everyone who stops by the chair.

No appointment and no charge: just a fresh cut, a bit of BSSET in hand and the same craft the shop is known for, taken on the road.

Free haircuts

Out in the City

Free cuts from the chair to the street.

September 2026

Mo took his chair out of the shop and into the city, giving free haircuts to fans and passers-by. No appointments, no charge, just a fresh cut for anyone who wanted one.

The clip says it all: regulars, first-timers and a few familiar faces walking away from the chair looking sharper than they arrived. The same craft Mo has spent over 19 years perfecting, offered straight back to the city that supports the shop.
