Hey! I’m Parky aka Sheddy / Sheddington / Shedmeister (He/Him)... In fairness I answer to most things. I’m the Founder of TheShedLpool, short hair specialist, waxer of the un-waxable, and full-time champion of good vibes.

 

After a decade living in London where I could get everything from my brows to my balls sorted with ease, I moved back to Liverpool during the pandemic and hit a brick wall. I couldn’t find a single salon willing to wax me simply because I’m a guy. I even tried the classic “don’t worry, I’m gay” line, but no joy.

 

So, I built TheShedLpool: a space where no one gets side-eyed for what’s between their legs, who they love, or how they identify. Whether you’re after a back, sack & crack, a skin fade, or just a safe space to be pampered without judgment. You’re welcome here.

 

I get that waxing can be intimidating, especially if it’s your first time. Trust me, I’ve been there. But this is my job. I’ve seen every shape and size going and I’m not fazed by any of it. What I do care about though is making you feel comfortable, respected, and walking out looking (and feeling) like your best self.

Qualifications (Yes, I’m Proper)

    •    Waxing – Trained with Axiom Academy. Back, sack, crack… relax, I’ve got it handled.

​

    •    Barbering – NVQ Level 2 & 3 from The London School of Barbering = Officially a Master Barber.

​

    •    Haircuts – Specialise in short styles but happy doing longer cuts too. Fades, mullets, shags, you name it.

​

    •    Beards & Shaves – Hot towel, tidy lines, and no faff.

​

    •    Brows & Lashes – Trained with Salon Systems. Brows sharper than your ex’s words.

You won’t see much of my face on here not because I’m shy (please), but because The Shed isn’t about me. It’s about you: your comfort, your identity, and your shed-shaped safe space.

 

That said… someone once called me “The Gay Banksy” and honestly? I kinda love that. I’m here, I’m queer, and I’d rather let my work (and the vibe I’ve built) speak louder than any selfie ever could.

Thanks for reading. Hope to see you in The Shed soon and yes, I’ll pretend I didn’t clock the state of your hair when you walk in.
