23.01.2022 The Captain Darling team would like Introduce our newest member of staff Ruben. Ruben recently relocated from NSW to Melbourne and is already proving to be a valued member of our team, taking the pressure of both myself and Jasper. The shop looks spectacular and he has been a lifesaver getting back to all of our clients. He is super friendly and makes everyone feel welcome, I’m sure the lovely Captain Darling community will make him feel just as welcomed. We will be looking for training haircut models soon....if anyone is interested let us know? Welcome to the team Ruben you are rocking it already.

22.01.2022 Hi again everyone, Just wanted to let you all know that I’ve decided to close the shop at least for the next couple of weeks until numbers start to drop. It was an incredibly tough call to make but I just don’t feel comfortable staying open at this time with the number of cases still on the rise. It’s not worth risking it. ... I apologise for the inconvenience, understand that lots of you are hanging out for a hairy. Stay safe out there Love Jill

21.01.2022 Ok, Online bookings are available....Be quick! Can't wait to see all your hairy heads

20.01.2022 Me standing proudly out the front of my shop 3 years ago today. I’m so happy for the wonderful community of clients we have at Captain Darling and for Jasper Julz and Kori for being such dedicated, hard workers. I’m missing all of you awesome people so much, hope everyone is safe and staying healthy during this craziness.

17.01.2022 Happy Trans Awareness Week! (Insert trans flag emoji here) https://www.glaad.org/transweek

17.01.2022 Well we are truly back into the swing of things at Captain Darling Barbershop, it’s so it’s been lovely to see half of all your face’s. Please respect our staff and clients by wearing an appropriate face mask whilst in our shop. Under 12’s and people with an exemption are fine.

15.01.2022 To all of our valued customers, I hope everyone is keeping safe and hanging in there throughout this crazy time. Just thought I’d give you all an update on what’s going on after the announcement yesterday. Unfortunately it looks like we won’t be able to reopen again until at least the 26th October. ... We miss you all and I can’t wait to be back at the shop and keeping busy...however, I completely understand the need for these restrictions to prevent a 3rd wave occurring. I hope everyone’s mental and physical health is ok. Look after each other Love Jill

11.01.2022 Hello to all of our valued clients. Myself and Jasper Julz are excited to announce that we will be reopening as of tomorrow. We will be spacing out appointments to ensure we have enough time to disinfect our work stations in between clients. ... We also ask that you wait outside or in your car until we message you to let you know it’s time for you to come in. Members of the same family are welcome to come in together. Please keep in mind that we are already quite booked up with appointments, all of our available appointments are up online. I’d like to thank you all for your patience and support during the last couple of months. It really means a lot to us to be part of such a great community. Really looking forward to seeing everyone again. Warm regards, Jill

09.01.2022 Hi Everyone, just wanted to let you all know that Jasper (with my full support) has decided not to work during this lockdown. I’m still unsure if I’ll stay open, just need to think about for a few days. It’s really difficult to make the call. Hope everyone is staying safe out there. Jill

09.01.2022 We miss you all of our hairy clients...Stay safe out there! Hope to see everyone again soon

08.01.2022 When you are turning 7 and you are owning it! This kids mum let her explain to me exactly how she likes her haircut. I really feel it’s so important to give children autonomy over their bodies. Let your children have cool haircuts...it could be their only chance.

06.01.2022 Whoop whoop, good news day, we can open the shop tomorrow! So happy Bookings will be up online later today.

04.01.2022 Thanks to everyone that came in yesterday you all gave so generously. I love the people in this community. Also a big thanks to you Jasper Julz for volunteering your time. You are a dead set legend mate. We raised $880 for http://www.blackrainbow.org.au/
