DJB Kidderminster’s 24-Hour Barberthon for KEMP Hospice

On Saturday 31 October 2026, DJB Kidderminster is keeping the chairs moving for 24 hours to support KEMP Hospice. The Barberthon begins at 8am on Saturday and runs through to 8am on Sunday 1 November.

There is no set haircut price for the Barberthon. You choose what to pay, and every penny is donated to KEMP Hospice. The event has its own bookable service on the DJB Kidderminster Booksy page, so you can choose a live appointment time instead of guessing when a chair might be free.

The Barberthon details

• When: 8am on Saturday 31 October to 8am on Sunday 1 November

This is a special event rather than the normal Kidderminster service timetable. Check the live Barberthon slots on Booksy before travelling, particularly if you would like an evening or overnight appointment.

Why DJB is supporting KEMP Hospice

KEMP Hospice provides specialist care and support for people and families living with life-limiting illness and bereavement across the Wyre Forest. Its work includes clinical care, family support, counselling, practical advice and hospice-at-home support.

The Barberthon is part of DJB in the Community. A haircut is something we do every day, but keeping the shop working through a full day and night gives customers a simple way to support a local charity at the same time.

If you would like to understand more about the charity’s work, visit the KEMP Hospice website.

How to book your charity haircut

Open the DJB Kidderminster Booksy page and look for the section labelled 24-Hour Barberthon – Sat 31 Oct. Select 24-Hour Barberthon Haircut, then choose from the appointment times still showing as available.

Book the Barberthon service itself rather than a regular Classic Haircut or Skin Fade slot. That keeps the appointment attached to the charity event and makes the available event times clear.

Live availability can change as people book. If the time you wanted has gone, check the remaining slots rather than assuming the shop can add another appointment. For help with booking, the current DJB Kidderminster page lists the shop contact details.

What haircut is included?

The live event listing describes the appointment as a 24-Hour Barberthon Haircut. It does not promise every specialist or combined service on the normal menu.

If you want a skin fade, a large restyle, a longer haircut or beard work as well, check before booking rather than assuming it fits the charity slot. The team can tell you whether the request suits the event appointment or whether you should choose a normal service on another day.

For a straightforward haircut, arrive with a clear idea of the length and shape you want. A reference photo can help, especially if it shows the sides and back as well as the front. You do not need to know clipper numbers or barbering terms. Explain what you like, what currently bothers you and how you normally style your hair.

Our guide to what happens during a men’s haircut at DJB Kidderminster explains the consultation, cutting, styling and final check if this will be your first visit.

How to get ready for the appointment

Come with hair that is reasonably clean, dry and not coated in heavy clay, wax or hairspray. That lets your barber see the natural growth, weight and direction before the cut starts. There is no need to wash it twice or arrive with damp hair.

Bring one or two useful photos if you are changing the shape. If you are keeping a familiar haircut, say what worked last time and which area grows out first. The crown, fringe, neckline and weight above the ears are all worth mentioning during the consultation.

If you are coming during the evening or overnight, double-check the date and time on your Booksy confirmation. The event crosses from Saturday into Sunday, so an appointment after midnight belongs to Sunday 1 November.

Paying for your Barberthon haircut

There is no set price for this event haircut. Pay the amount you choose. DJB’s live event listing states that every penny is donated to KEMP Hospice.

The amount is your decision. The important part is booking the correct Barberthon service, turning up for the slot and helping the shop keep the 24-hour event moving.

Visiting DJB Kidderminster

DJB Kidderminster is on Oxford Street in the centre of town, postcode DY10 1AU. The location page has the current shop details and a directions link.

Because this is a one-off 24-hour event, use the special Booksy listing as the source for appointment times. The normal weekly opening hours do not describe the overnight Barberthon.

Barberthon questions

When does the DJB Kidderminster Barberthon start and finish?

It starts at 8am on Saturday 31 October and finishes at 8am on Sunday 1 November.

How much does a Barberthon haircut cost?

There is no set price. You choose what to pay, and the live DJB listing says every penny is donated to KEMP Hospice.

Do I need to book?

Use the dedicated Barberthon service on Booksy to choose a live appointment time. Do not rely on a walk-in space being available during a 24-hour charity event.

Can I book a beard reshape or a large restyle in the charity slot?

The listing promises a Barberthon haircut, not every service on the normal menu. Check with DJB first if your request needs extra time or includes beard work.
