TWO ambitious brothers from Kilmarnock who opened their own barbershop at just 17 years old are celebrating almost a year in business as they set their sights on an exciting expansion.
Twin brothers Cameron and Aidan McCreadie, now 18, launched Twin Trimz in their hometown and have spent the past year building their customer base.
The pair, who both have ADHD, experienced challenges during their school years but have since found a career they are passionate about.
Before opening the business at 1st Floor, 2-4 Cheapside Street, Aidan was attending barbering school while Cameron had gained practical experience working in other barbershops.
Speaking to Kilmarnock Today, Cameron explained that the brothers decided to join forces after realising they wanted to work together.
He said: "We both decided that we wanted to just do it in Kilmarnock, the both of us in the same shop.
"We just thought, 'Yeah, why not?' and we just kind of tried it."
Barbering wasn't always Cameron's intended career path, with the teenager only considering the trade a year or two before pursuing it professionally.
The business will celebrate the anniversary on Tuesday, November 17, and the brothers have worked throughout their first year without taking a full week's holiday, demonstrating their dedication to the business.
Cameron added: "It's really helped me money-wise and in terms of my job as well. It's been a good help."
Looking ahead, the twins hope to expand Twin Trimz into a larger premises offering several services under one roof.
Cameron explained: "Our plans would be to open up another shopfront and have like a DJ and tattoo artist and nails and stuff all in the same shop.
"That would be the main goal."
