Con's Barber ShopBarber Shop in North Mackay, Queensland

Con's Barber Shop brings over five decades of traditional barbering to North Mackay, making it the city's oldest barber shop still cutting hair with the same no-nonsense approach that built its reputation. This isn't some trendy spot chasing fads – it's proper old-school barbering that's evolved to handle everything from classic short back and sides to modern fades and undercuts. The shop caters to everyone: blokes after a quick trim, kids needing their first proper cut, pensioners who've been coming for decades, and even women wanting precision cuts.

Dave handles the traditional straight razor shaves with hot towel treatment – the full works for $42. Regular cuts start at $32, with fades at $36, and they offer solid discounts for pensioners and kids under 14. What sets Con's apart is the blend of traditional craftsmanship with modern techniques.

They'll do your zero fades, tracks, and flat tops alongside classic styles, plus beard trimming and goatee work. Walk-ins are welcome, so no mucking about with appointments – just rock up when you need a cut. Long-time customers speak of 30-year relationships built on consistent quality and reasonable prices.

It's the kind of place where you get your haircut and a bit of wisdom thrown in for free.
