We spoke to Adam Jackson and Marni Mantell from Tough Luck Barbershop to discover the heart of this salon (AKA Patsy, the salon pug), and its signature style.
WHAT ARE YOUR HERO SERVICES?
“‘Fine Cuts and trims with quality guaranteed’ is what it says on our windows but we’ll also throw in a shave or two,” said barber and salon owner Adam Jackson.
WHAT ARE YOUR POINTS OF DIFFERENCE?
“Patsy, our 9 year old pug, is also our quality assurance officer.”
WHAT’S THE TOUGH LUCK BARBERSHOP SIGNATURE?
“Warm and approachable. We really want anyone and everyone to be able to walk in and feel comfortable in the space we’ve built. Service is imperative to us. Like many modern barbershops we pride ourselves in an in-depth consultation to guarantee our clients leave feeling like the best version of themselves, and not like anyone else. We also exclusively stock O’Douds grooming products as they align with our values as a shop. They have an inclusive approach to haircare that is sensible and sustainable.”
WHAT IS YOUR SHOP STYLE?
“Inspired by a handful of barbershops as well as a few tattoo studios around Australia, we looked at creating a unique and comfortable space that incorporated our passion for the timeless history of barbershops globally as well as the love for the modern progression of the industry. It’s old meets new, in a sense. Tough Luck is our take on a space that had previously homed a family run barbershop for almost 50 years, and we were grateful for the chance to bring the space back to its former glory.”
