El Barto ★★★★★ Was in Karratha recently on holidays and didn't get time for a trim before leaving so looked up a local barber to get sorted. I selected BBCB based on the reviews and can confirm all the positive feedback is totally on pointI booked in for short back and sides with Abe and on arrival was offered a drink, sat down and while waiting was joined by a furry friend as Kat was looking after her friends puppy. Beer and puppy pats, we're already off to a great start!Abe was excellent and I had the best cut I've had in many months.I really like the booking process as my local that I normally go to is a walk in only. The price of a cut here is a premium price, but totally worth the extra for the service, quality and the value to my time by not having to wait around. Highly recommend BBCB.Response from the ownerWow what a nice through review! For a small business it’s feedback like this that keep us going. 🙌 So happy to hear you enjoyed your appointment and Cocos company! Hopefully life brings you back to Karratha again and we get to thank you for this kind review in person. ☺️ Ådne Karlsen ★★★★★ Best shave and hair cutt I have had In WA since 19 bowe and arrow.
