Been cutting Canberra's hair since 1962.
Traditional cuts, hot towel shaves and a proper chat — three generations of the same family, still working the same chairs.
Shop hours
The price list
No packages, no upsells — just the cut you came in for.
Started by Frank Alder with two chairs and a radio.
Frank opened the doors on Lonsdale Street in 1962 with nothing but a steady hand and a radio for company. His son Ray took over the second chair in the '80s, and today Ray's daughter Casey runs the shop her grandfather built — same corner, same wood-panelled walls, a few more chairs.
We've never chased trends. Come in, take a seat, and you'll leave looking like you meant to.
