In just seven months, Blades Gents Barbers has become the most liked barbershop on TikTok in Northern Ireland and one of the top five most liked barbershop pages in the UK. This growth has been driven by consistency, personality and a clear understanding of how TikTok actually works. As of January 2026, Blades Gents Barbers have accumulated 10.5+ million likes, over 10x the nearest competition in Northern Ireland.
We did not grow by posting generic haircut videos or polished adverts. We took a different route, using meme style content that feels natural, entertaining and instantly recognisable to TikTok users.
Built for TikTok, Not Forced for Views
The content coming from Blades reflects real moments in the shop. Client reactions and trending memes that feel user generated. The haircuts are sharp, but the videos are enjoyable even if you are not looking for a haircut.
That balance is what sets Blades apart. The content does not feel staged or over produced. It feels like TikTok content that happens to feature great barbering.
Why Meme Style Created the The Most Liked Barbershop in NI
Meme based content travels further because it is relatable. People stop scrolling because they recognise the sound, the joke or the situation. Blades uses this style without forcing it, allowing the humour and the moments to happen naturally.
This approach has helped the page reach millions of likes in a short space of time and build a following well beyond Northern Ireland.

The Online Presence Matches the Shop
What you see on TikTok is what you experience in the chair. The same energy, confidence and standards apply in the shop every day. Clients come in knowing the atmosphere and leave with a haircut that matches the content they have already seen online.
Setting the Standard in Northern Ireland and the UK
Becoming the most liked barbershop on TikTok in Northern Ireland within seven months places Blades among the strongest barbershop pages in the UK. It shows what is possible when quality barbering meets authenticity and a genuine understanding of culture.
Blades continues to grow by doing what it does best. Clean cuts, real personality and content that people actually want to watch.
