From teaching live at the Australian Hair Festival to running hands on workshops at The Locker Room and growing my partnership with BLAK, June was a month of connection, craft, and community. Here's a look back at what shaped the month.

A look behind the scenes at Runway Barbershop, from strong client retention and full books across April and May to representing Australian barbering at the Wahl Global Barber Battle in Chicago.

March was focused on education, industry recognition, and continued growth. This month I delivered two online seminars to barbers across Australia, was featured in EVO Magazine, introduced BLAK Haircare into the shop, and remained fully booked behind the chair. Here is a recap of March.

February was a busy month behind the chair. From teaching the CIT Masterclass to hosting a national seminar, this month reflected the craft, discipline, and systems that shape every appointment.

January was not about doing more. It was about refining direction, strengthening fundamentals, and setting a standard that will carry through the year.

A thank you to clients for a year of trust and consistency. Professional barber services built on precision, reliability, and long-term results.

November was a standout month, with almost every appointment booked and the official launch of my new barbering education program — which has already led to two more workshops being locked in. I also refined the client experience with elevated service touches as we head into the busiest season of the year.

The first month at Runway Barbershop has been about connection, loyalty and growth. From 296 services in four weeks to new faces finding their way through social media and word of mouth, this chapter marks a fresh start for Chris Taulanga Barber in the heart of Canberra.
