No Ifs or Buts
Adored by fashionistas and pop stars alike, CUTS hairdressers in Soho, London, is a low-key, yet world famous hair salon that has defined UK street culture over 30 years. But this documentary is 'not just about the haircut'......it's about love, sex, drugs, breakdown, prison, death and resurrection. Filmed over a twenty-year period, NO IFS OR BUTS traces the bromance between founder James Lebon and Steve Brooks who ran Cuts for 30 years, while exploring profound and often tragic personal change in the other hairdressers' lives within the wider context of immense change in the UK's political and cultural landscape. The film is an anthem to the promise of youth and the friendships that endure (or not) over a lifetime.
