Scarbra Billibong

My parter has had his hair cut here on 2 occasions once by Carlos and once by Eilidh, both times it’s been excellent, and his hair is hard to cut, I know because I’m a hairdresser! The barber finishing is amazing attention to detail is next to none and the friendly vibe of the local barber shop is a welcome change. He loves it so do I.

Rarely do I leave a poor review. However, this is an exception. Had a haircut here a couple of months ago as I had decided to go local after moving into the neighbourhood. It was an ordinary haircut and after asking for the senior discount I also realised that I was charged full price. Let it slide. Just walked out this morning without a haircut. Here is why: turned up before 9am without an appointment hoping to nab a timeslot. Told to return at 9.30. Did so just as one barber was finishing up. He proceeded to sweep floors, solve a client's phone issue and loiter around with no-one in the chair. Strange. Another barber was wasting time with a client trying sorting out that scam on his phone. The third barber was double booked at 9.30. Every client was on first name terms with each barber, all very chatty. I felt forgotten. 9.50 am I got up and told them to delete me from the system (I was told I would get a text to confirm the booking, it never arrived). The first barber was mumbling something about serving me when his, I assume, 9.30 turned up. I left. I have travelled the world and been to all sorts of barbers during my professional career. Never have I been to an establishment so laid back. If that is what you want, then use this mob. It is not my cup of tea.

Great experience. I was visiting WA from the ACT and didn't manage to get a shave in before we left. Consequently, I was eating my moustache and that was pretty unpleasant. After going to one barber closer to our accommodation and being turned away as a walk in, I walked in to Scarba Barbra and, fortunately, I was welcomed. I had a buzz cut, beard trim, and razor shave around my cheeks and neck. I let the barber know that the pores around my neck don't do well shaved against the grain and they took that onboard and completed a wonderfully competent shave. With regard to the beard shape and buzz cut, my wife commented that I looked incredibly tidy, and she has never said that to me before. Thank you, If I lived here I would come back.
