Fantastic experience: I’ve had long, curly hair (shoulder length) for the past 10 years, so I was pretty unsure about chopping it all off. Sammy completely put me at ease and restyled it into a short, faded, tidy mullet that I was absolutely stoked with! Since then, I’ve been back twice, and each time we’ve tweaked the cut a little to try something new. Every time, it’s been the best haircut I’ve ever had. Couldn’t recommend Sammy more highly.

Fantastic experience: I came in for my first haircut recently, I have long hair on top with an undercut and I couldn’t be happier with the tidy up that I got! The barber took the time to make sure that my undercut was a clean line, and even straightened that up a bit. She did a great job with my fade and she also took the time to detangle my long hair and trim the dead ends. 10/10 barber experience and I will definitely be going back!

Fantastic experience: Sammy does an awesome job. Makes you feel at ease and gives wicked hair cuts. Highly recommend Busters to all

Fantastic experience: I had Chaz recommended to me for a neotrad style tattoo I wanted. I'm glad he was as the tattoo I got exceeded my expectations. His work is incredible. During the process I met his partner Sammy who works as a barber at the studio. She now cuts my hair on a regular basis and like Chaz is extremely good at what she does. I've had nothing but good experiences at Buster's and would recommend them to anyone.

Fantastic experience: If you want a professional haircut, this is the place

Fantastic experience: What can I say about Busters Tattoo and Barbershop other than the obvious? That the entire shop is probably a front for an illegal underground organ theft smuggling ring? Do I have any evidence to back this up? No. Is this an outlandish accusation to make publicly? Absolutely. What organs do I believe they are smuggling? At a guess.. heart, lungs, you know, big ticket products. Other than that though; wall to wall it’s top tier tattooing in there and the barbershop cuts - masterclass.

Fantastic experience: What a place.. I was so happy when Sammy opened up her own gig. A barber that takes their time is a rare find. Not to mention half my family goes to busters now. It’s a wicked spot and I always leave happy

Fantastic experience: Sammy is the best barber in town !! Great service and a fantastic atmosphere. A top experience. Highly recommended.

My hubby has also tried out Sammy’s barber skills and is stoked to have finally found someone who does a good job.
