RETAJ BARBER: Reviews
Fantastic experience: I’ve been going to Retaj Barber for a while now and honestly one of the best barbers in Wollongong. The cuts are always clean and precise — especially the fades, you can tell the barber really knows his craft. The vibe in the shop is great too. Very welcoming, Arabic-speaking friendly, and always a good laugh while you’re getting your haircut. Makes the whole experience even better. Highly recommend if you’re after a quality cut and a relaxed, friendly atmosphere
Fantastic experience: Munzar is very hard working, polite and a great barber. Never rushes and takes time to provide good detailing.
Fantastic experience: الخدمات رائعة والحلاق فنان وماهر جداً ودرجة النظافة ممتازة والتعامل اكثر من رائع The services are excellent, the barber is a very skilled and talented artist, the cleanliness is superb, and the customer service is outstanding.
Thanks for your kind words &you're Welcome
Fantastic experience: Best of the best
Thanks &you're Welcome
Negative experience: The barber shop was listed as open on Google and had an “Open” sign displayed, but the door was locked from the inside. I waited for about 15 minutes. A man appeared inside the shop but was eating and didn’t acknowledge me or open the door even after another 10 minutes. Very disappointing.
Negative experience: Google opening hours: 10am on Saturday Sign on door: 10am on Saturday Sign on window: 10am on Saturday Imagine my surprise showing up at 10.20 to see them closed. Guessing it's hard for Saturday to be your busiest day like most other barbers if you can't even open on time.
Fantastic experience: I've been very impressed with this hairdresser’s skill, experience, and talent —he clearly knows his craft. The liquid he uses to wet the hair is always fresh and has a pleasant, clean scent, which adds to the experience. The salon itself is spotless, and all tools, including combs, are well-maintained and hygienic. The floor is also regularly cleaned and also spotless. It's definitely worth taking the time to talk with him and explain in details exactly what kind of cut you're after — he listens and once he understands what exactly are you sfter, he delivers great results.
Thank you for your kind words, you're welcome dear
Fantastic experience: Hands down the best haircut I’ve had in years, the fade is perfect and the barber really knows his craft. Only downside is the parking,, but that expected on Crown St, but the quality of the cut makes it absolutely worth it.
Thanks dear and you're welcome .
Fantastic experience: I have been going to this place over 12 months the owner is an amazing hair cut stylist very professional very kind great prices I wouldnt go anywhere else
Thank you so much dear for your kind words, you are welcome anytime.
Fantastic experience: Very cool guy
Thanks dear
Negative experience: Extremely rude barber, was using abusive words during a hair cut. Should be shut down. Look at his ridiculous response to all one star ratings. Stay away. Never recommended.
Fantastic experience: The best barber in the area! He asked and followed every instruction, was really friendly, and is the only one who uses scissors for trimming. 100% recommend!
Thanks dear &you're welcome
Fantastic experience: The best barber in the area, friendly and respectful. I advise everyone to go to him.
Thanks dear
Negative experience: If you say your open untill 5:00p.m stay open past 4:00pm or change your hours. Wasted trip 40 minute walk there and 40 min walk back. Owner was still in the shop telling me to go away at 4:00 p.m I hope his business fails. And I'll make sure everyone I know never uses this barbers.
You came to me at 4:30. If you want to go to a shop, be respectful and respect the person who apologized to you and told you that he wants to close the shop.
Negative experience: Worst haircut and customer service I’ve ever experienced. Totally unprofessional easily the worst barber I’ve been to. Would not recommend.
I didn't cut your hair , and I know all of my customers left my shop, they are happy.
Positive experience: Great barbar
Thanks
Fantastic experience: The barber took time and care with the haircut. He listened to me and gave me what I asked for, without trying to take his own fancy route with the cut.

Thanks
Fantastic experience: Best Barber in Gong! 5 Star for service and price!
Thanks
Fantastic experience: I would walk 500 miles to get my hair cut by an experienced Syrian, and Mr Retaj (I assume) is no exception. Instead, he personifies why, in Syria, unless you get placed in the top class of barbers, you don't get certified (according to him). He shared his philosophy of taking the time to produce quality, always at affordable rates, and the results were spot on. This man knows his trade. Could not recommend highly enough. Best affordable barber in central Wollongong.
Thanks
Fantastic experience: Great barber. Takes his time to make sure he provides quality service! 100% recommended
Thanks dear
