What Jo does

Four things, done properly

No menu as long as your arm. A cut, a beard, a head shave, and the hot towel shave. Reviewers keep saying the same two things: it is good, and it is cheaper than most.

Men's Haircut

The everyday cut, done properly. Clippers, scissors, or a fade, whatever suits your hair and how you wear it.

Beard Trim

Shaped up and tidied, with the neckline and cheek line cleaned off so it keeps its shape as it grows.

Head Shave

Taken right down and finished smooth, front to back.

Hot Towel Shave

The traditional one. Hot towel first to soften everything up, then a close shave without the rush.

Prices are on the board in the shop. Ring Jo on 0428 741 217 if you want to check before you come down.

Inside

Shop 5A, next to the laundromat

A timber and corrugated iron counter, a barber chair, and the name up on a dark brick wall. You will find it in the little strip on Ruddell St, next door to the laundromat, right across from Bundaberg State High.

Plenty of the regulars have been coming for years, and a fair few of them have never once made an appointment. Turn up, have a seat, wait your turn.

Cash only

There is no card machine in the shop, so bring cash with you.

No appointment needed

Walk in whenever you like during opening hours, or book a time below if you would rather not wait.

Tuesday to Friday 9am to 5pm, and Saturday mornings 8am to 11am.

Always happy with my haircut at Jo's Barber Barn. I especially like the fact that the same person does it each time so no surprises. Fast, friendly and economical, suits me fine.
