We're exploring a potential new location for our barber shop that will be easily found on Google Maps., which we're calling Plan C. It's an exciting prospect, and we're in the second stage of negotiations. We've submitted our letter of interest and are now moving forward with the next steps.

Today, we're meeting with our contractor to assess the space. We'll be looking at key details like the air conditioning system's capacity and signage possibilities.

The lighting is a particular focus. While there are existing fixtures close to where our barber stations would be, we suspect they may not be bright enough. We're considering options to upgrade or replace them to ensure optimal illumination for our work.


Key Takeaways


So, here we are, on a journey of epic proportions, trying to locate the perfect new facility for our barber shop. It's a temporary relocation that feels more like a reality show than a business decision.

We're in the office negotiating like it’s the last round of “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire,” except the only prize here is a good haircut and a snazzy beardtrim. Major decisions on the table include whether to go with a traditional fade or a hot new trend, while we ponder the cost of a shave that’ll make even the kid next door jealous.


Meanwhile, we’re assessing practical aspects like air conditioning that won’t turn our office into a sauna, signage that doesn’t look like it was designed by a toddler, and, most importantly, lighting that dazzles like a disco ball.


Upgrading the lighting is a priority, because let’s face it, no one wants to leave with a haircut that looks like it was done in the dark.

So please, if you spot a commercial space nearby that screams “barber shop,” give us a ring on the phone—your feedback will help us stay within the heart of the community.

Boosting Illumination at Cutting Stations

Our barber stations require proper lighting for precise cuts and grooming as we add a new location. The current setup just isn't bright enough for our day-to-day work, especially as we aim to provide top-notch service.

This new spot is near the murrumbeena train station a 2 minute walk, 403 Neerim Road Carnegie 2163, Melbourne. We're excited about the possibilities and will continue to share updates as our plans progress towards setting up a new location.
