ROOTS & INFLUENCE IN THE GOLDEN AGE OF BARBERING
September 24, 2022
Here at Barber Industries Pacific Fair we provide a modern day delivery of an age old craft. Our barbershop appears contemporary for today however it draws its unique styling from an era of the past. We are talking about the ‘golden age’ of barbering. A period in time when the barbershop was the busiest establishment in every town, unrivalled in popularity except for maybe Saturday morning here today!
If you have visited our barbershop here at Pacific Fair you will know that it is very easily recognisable, our fit out is like none other here on the Gold Coast. The ornate timber work, tufted leather and antique furnishings create a warm, inviting and worldly space.
The environment complements our prestige level of service and yet we remain entirely approachable to men of all ages (and their families).
The golden age of barbering is the time before the safety razor, before the world wars and the great depression. Most importantly it is the time before the boundaries between a salon and a barbershop became so blurred that it was hard to know one from the other.
The barbershop was a social hub in every town and men usually visited on a weekly basis or even more often. Barbershops were decorated and ornate. Tonics, balms and after shaves filled the shelves and the smell of talc and cologne filled the air.
The popularity of the traditional barbershop slowly wained for decades after that point in time and hit the lowest point around the nineteen nineties when salons had their claws dug deep into the market share. There has since been an epic resurgence, and we have clawed back the authority to once again reign supreme as the true home of male grooming. We draw our influence from that golden age of barbering and are heavily rooted back in that era and beyond.
Here at Barber Industries Pacific Fair, we offer prestige grooming of hair, face and beard. We offer haircuts, beard sculpting and traditional hot towel shaves. We have shelves packed styling products, shampoos, soaps and colognes. We have rekindled that old school barbershop vibe and created a space that is truly unique. We are for the modern man who seeks the tradition and nostalgia from the golden age of barbering.
Come in, relax and enjoy the service in a space that has been crafted especially for you.
