Tough Luck Barber ShopBarber Shop in Petersham, New South Wales

Tough Luck Barber Shop has been cutting hair in the heart of Petersham since January 2022, building a loyal following with their straightforward approach to quality barbering. This neighbourhood shop caters to everyone – men, women, and kids 10 and older – with a team of skilled barbers who blend modern techniques with classic cuts. The crew brings serious experience to the chair.

Liv delivers both contemporary styles and timeless classics with her Cert IV credentials, while Joseph fuses his hairdressing background with sharp barbering skills. Adam keeps things moving as the self-described "seasoned yapper," and Zach – a former Tony & Guy barber who was apparently the fastest kid in primary school – rounds out the team. Services run from $32 buzz cuts to $85 restyles, with standard cuts starting at $60.

They handle everything from beard trims (with optional razor finish) to full head or face shaves, plus wash services. While they prioritise bookings, walk-ins are welcome when there's space. You'll find them on New Canterbury Road with parking available in their small Chester Street lot out back, plus plenty of street spots nearby.

The shop has a small front step but can accommodate wheelchair access with their removable ramp when needed.
