Support your local barber - Barber Shack Papamoa

Papamoa, Bay Of Plenty

Barber Shack is owned and operated by a young couple who dedicate every waking moment to their business. Having celebrated 1 year of opening in January 2022, the Barber Shack has been thriving. Unfortunately, the owners were notified that their shop had been deliberately burnt down in the early hours on Saturday 26th February. Please help this business and their employees who are the victims of a senseless act of vandalism that has destroyed their business and all of their livelihoods.

I am a good friend of the owners.

Use of funds

While they have some insurance, it is still being determined what and how much it will cover. Funds gathered from this will help support the small business and their team of barbers until the business is able to operate again.

Beyond Grateful  15 March 2022

The owners and Barber Shack crew would like to thank you all for the support. They are overwhelmed by the number of people that have donated towards their Give a little page. There have been people that have donated based on either knowing Barber Shack and their team, are local and live in the Papamoa community, or they have heard about the devastating news. Knowing that this place has touched many of you means so much to the crew. It really shows how much this place means to people and especially the children that miss their local barber.

It has been a hard couple of weeks for the team. While the owners are sorting through insurance to cover their own loss, 11 barbers are trying to make ends meet as they have all suddenly lost their jobs. To support the staff, Barber Shack will be donating this money to their staff to support them at this time as this is something that insurance won’t be able to cover. Once again, thank you for supporting Barber Shack and we hope to be back soon.
