Customers can decide how much they pay, with the barbershop asking only for a fair and reasonable contribution.

Levi Barbers in Hanwell Fields is offering ‘pay what you can’ haircuts to customers until November 22.

Shop owner Hafez Agrah launched the special offer as a way of thanking the Banbury community for the support he has received since opening the barbershop in March.

Hafez is asking customers to pay whatever they feel is a fair and reasonable price for their haircuts.

He said: “I named the shop after my son, so it means a lot to me. Since opening in March, I’ve had so much support from people locally and wanted to give something back.

“All I ask is that people keep it fair and reasonable, and they have. Someone paid £25 for a service that would usually be £35, and I’m happy with that. It’s my way of saying thank you to the community for supporting the shop.”

The offer is being promoted by new Banbury and Brackley-based social media marketing company elovae.

Launched by Kelli Houghton and Ellie Baker in November, elovae aims to help local businesses with their social media, content and events promotion.

They said: “We’re just starting out ourselves, so we know how much every follow, share and recommendation means. Hafez was doing something lovely for the community, and we wanted to help more people hear about it.

“When you’re busy running a business, taking photos and thinking about what to post can easily fall to the bottom of the list. We’ve loved getting into the shop, getting to know Hafez and helping him share what he’s doing.”
