Terms of Use

Last updated: April 2026

These terms govern your use of thebarberboard.com ("TheBarberBoard", "we", "us", "our"). By using the site you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the site.

About this site

TheBarberBoard is an independent UK barber directory and editorial publication. The directory lists barbers and grooming businesses across the UK. The editorial content covers barbershop discovery, haircut styles, beard care and grooming products. The site is operated as a content publication and earns revenue through display advertising and affiliate commissions.

Editorial independence and affiliate disclosure

TheBarberBoard participates in the Amazon Associates Programme and other affiliate programmes. When you click an affiliate link and complete a purchase, we may earn a small commission at no additional cost to you. This funds the time we spend researching and writing.

Affiliate relationships do not influence our editorial opinions. We name products we genuinely consider worth recommending. If a product is poor we either do not feature it or we say so. Our credibility is the asset that makes the affiliate model work, so we treat it accordingly.

Directory listings

Barber listings on TheBarberBoard are compiled from public sources and updated periodically. We do not charge barbers to be listed and do not accept payment to alter the order or visibility of listings. If a listing is inaccurate or out of date, please contact us via the contact page.

Inclusion in the directory is not an endorsement. We list real working UK barbers based on public information. The quality of service at any specific shop is the responsibility of that shop, not TheBarberBoard.

Accuracy of content

We make reasonable efforts to ensure the content on TheBarberBoard is accurate at the time of publication. However, prices, opening hours, business addresses, and product specifications change. Always verify pricing and details with the barber or retailer directly before relying on them. Information on TheBarberBoard is for general guidance only.

No guarantees on services or products

Services provided by listed barbers are the responsibility of those barbers. We have no control over the quality of any individual haircut, the conduct of any individual barber, or the operation of any specific shop. Disputes between you and a barber must be resolved with the shop directly.

Products we recommend in editorial content are made by third-party manufacturers and sold by third-party retailers. We have no control over manufacturing, fulfilment, returns or warranty. Any guarantee comes from the manufacturer or retailer, not TheBarberBoard.

Intellectual property

All editorial content on TheBarberBoard, including text, layout and code, is owned by us or licensed to us. You may share short excerpts with appropriate credit and a link back to the source page. Wholesale copying of articles, scraping or republishing on other sites without written permission is not permitted.

Brand names, product names, trademarks and logos referenced in our content are the property of their respective owners and are used for editorial reference only. Barber business names are used for directory purposes.

User-submitted content

If you submit content to us (for example via the contact form), you grant us a non-exclusive licence to use it for editorial purposes. You retain ownership of anything you submit. We will not publish content that identifies individuals without consent.

Acceptable use

You agree not to:

• Attempt to gain unauthorised access to the site or its systems
• Scrape, harvest or systematically copy content from the site
• Use automated tools to crawl the site beyond what is permitted in robots.txt

• Misrepresent your identity or impersonate any person or organisation

Links to other sites

TheBarberBoard links to other websites including barber business pages, product retailers and external resources. We are not responsible for the content, privacy practices or accuracy of any external site. A link does not constitute endorsement of everything on the destination site.

Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by UK law, TheBarberBoard excludes all liability for any loss or damage arising out of your use of the site or your reliance on its content, including indirect or consequential losses. Nothing in these terms limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or for fraud, where such limitation would be unlawful.

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top of the page reflects the most recent revision. Continued use of the site after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales. Any disputes arising from your use of the site are subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales.
