BARBER INDUSTRIES RE-OPENS IN WOLLONGONG CENTRAL

November 4, 2021

After a tedious time spent with Wollongong in a seemingly never ending government imposed lockdown. We are grateful to be re-opened for business at the trusty Wollongong Central. A quick lap through the barber’s chair is something that is taken for granted until it is taken away, gladly something that is back on the cards for everyone before Christmas.

Here in Wollongong we copped the full brunt of the government imposed Covid lockdown. We spent a total of 107 days in lockup and that’s a hell of a long time to go between skin fades and a line up. There were some pretty scruffy looking blokes getting about and some pretty wild looking home haircuts too. 


After much anticipation and several gruelling months of bad hair growth, it was finally possible to reopen the barbershop on the 11th of October. Touted as ‘freedom day’ we were able to welcome back those who had taken up the offer of the covid-jab and who had completed their double dose. We thank everyone for checking in and showing the required information for entry, your cooperation has enabled us to open up and get back to the business of great haircuts and prestige male grooming.


The first week of reopening was actually something to behold. The queue out the front of the barbershop was often as long as the eye could see. Every man who could come out for a haircut did so and of course he had the kids in tow as well. It was pretty much bedlam around Wollongong Central and the crew were up against it for days as they sheared away the lockdown locks of the masses. Safe to say it has settled down since and there is some normality about the barbershop.


As we head towards summer and the final easing of the Covid nightmare, we look forward to welcoming the rest of our loyal customers back into the barbershop. We have some special promotions lined up for the upcoming Black Friday and Christmas Shopping Season so keep your eyes peeled and we’ll see you soon.
