How would you describe your shop's vibe?  

Definitely some old school barbershop vibe and a welcoming and fun place to spend time.  

What's your most popular cut at the moment?  

Heaps of fades short pomps. We love the occasional mullet too.  

What's your favorite Uppercut Deluxe products?  

Matte Pomade and Easy Hold  

Who is your favourite artist to spin in the shop?  

We all take turns and we go through fazes.  This week its  70s/80s punk    

What's your favourite style to cut?  

At the moment  I'm  really loving flattops and their variations  

Why did you get into barbering?  

I used to be a hairdresser but had given it up for 10 years. The resurgence in classic barbering really appealed to me- I saw a documentary on Schorem Barbier in Rotterdam and I wanted to learn how to do the classics as they do. I love the atmosphere and nostalgia of the barbershop.
