I was only in Wollongong for the day and needed a cut asap. Huss really took care of me and gave me a solid fade. If you’re from Sydney or looking for a good barber local to Wollongong, choose barber industries and you won’t be disappointed.

My first haircut there as I just moved into the area. Couldn’t be happier to have found a barber. Warm, friendly and quality service and skill set. I felt comfortable and at home straight away. Highly recommend this place.

I have been going to this barber for a few years now and have never once had an issue. The service and the expertise that you get with Elei, is second to none. I have never once had a bad haircut from him and have never seen him give a bad haircut to anyone else (I don’t think I ever will). He has always taken his time and shows great care as he is going about his craft. I trust this man with my life and will never stop going to him for my haircuts.

get in and see our team of master barbers for your next haircut, beard trim or hot towel shave.
