Craig Henderson – The Neurodivergent Barber
Craig Henderson – The Neurodivergent Barber
I’m Craig Henderson, also known as The Neurodivergent Barber. I specialise in providing inclusive, sensory-aware haircuts for autistic, neurodivergent, disabled, and anxious clients.
As a neurodivergent professional myself, my approach is shaped by lived experience, empathy, and a deep understanding of the challenges some clients face in traditional salon environments.
I’ve developed creative, flexible methods that put the client first, whether that means cutting hair while someone moves, plays, or needs time to build trust. It’s about creating safe, patient, person-led experiences that make grooming accessible to everyone.
Through my education and training for hair professionals, I help barbers and stylists gain the confidence and tools to better support clients with additional needs. My sessions are practical, honest, and based on real-world experience. From sensory adaptations to communication tips, I focus on what truly works behind the chair.
If you’re a salon owner, barber, stylist or apprentice looking to create a more inclusive space, I’d love to work with you. Whether you’re just starting to make changes or want to deepen your understanding, my training is here to support you every step of the way.
Let’s break down barriers in the hair industry, one haircut at a time.
