With roots that trace back for three generations, Sonic is Nottingham’s traditional independent barbers, steeped in craft, quality and friendly chat. In a welcoming atmosphere, we put skill and experience into every individual haircut and shave, using authentic barbering techniques handed down over decades.
Established 2015
Our story
Our founder, Karwan, has barbering in his blood. Back in the sixties – in a world of mop-tops and beatniks – his grandad was defiantly delivering classic cuts with old-school personal service. Karwan saw that ethos at work, as the secrets of barbering were passed down through the family over the years. As a kid, he grew up watching his dad create bespoke cuts with dedication and attention to detail. It’s what gave Karwan the passion for perfection that’s the spirit of Sonic to this day.
Times have changed, but we’re still the same traditional barbers at heart. So come in, take a seat and experience the difference that proper, precision barbering can make.
