Haircuts with a side order of pampering are now on the menu in Castletown Shoppingworld after a modern new barber shop threw its doors open last weekend.
Located next to Coles, Queensland-owned and operated JB’s Barbers (formerly Kazza’s Barber Shops) offers a full barbering service including fades, tracks, men’s cuts, cutthroat face shaves, hot towel shaves and beard sculpting, plus the latest styles for women and children.
Owned by Sandra and Regan Flemming since 2018, JB’s Barbers was founded in Airlie Beach over 20 years ago, before expanding throughout Central Queensland and gaining significant traction in Townsville with shops in the CBD, Fairfield Central and Townsville Shopping Centre (previously Stockland).
JB’s Barbers business manager Heather Davidson said their eight Castletown staff had been overwhelmed by the amazing community response since their grand opening on October 26.
“We have three shops in Townsville, which is more than we have anywhere else, and we love to grow with the community. We like to sponsor a lot (including sporting events) in our area and keep in touch with local businesses and the community,” Ms Davidson said.
“We were closing down our Willows store due to location and pricing (and) got in touch with the guys at Castletown because of their standard of the centre and how amazing it was there.”
She said fades were the most in-demand hair style at the moment, with staff able to offer customers a variety of options.
“We do have a lot of teenagers coming through wanting the newest styles, a lot of gentlemen with a range of ages, and we also always welcome our military, so we have our army cuts as well.
“We’re doing hair washes and scalp massages as a package with our cuts as well, so that really puts you in the right mood to get a bit pampered.
“(Staff member) Lauren had a big shout out on Google for her services with that, and how amazing her massage skills are.”
The business also proudly stocks the Australian owned Upper Cut brand of men’s grooming products, including hair wash products, beard oils, pomades, pastes, and clays.
Ms Davidson revealed that the business’ next project would be to upgrade their Fairfield store in late 2025.
With JB’s signing a seven year lease at Castletown, the centre’s manager Kathy Lansford was delighted to welcome them on board long-term.
“Their focus on quality and family-friendly service aligns perfectly with our vision for providing a convenient and diverse shopping experience for our customers,” Ms Lansford said.
