Gold Coast Barber crowned best in Queensland

A Gold Coast barber has taken the crown as the best hairdresser/barber in Queensland.

Sarge’s Barber at Hope Island was given the prestigious title at the state’s official “All the Best” Awards in the lead up to Queensland Day this weekend.

Nestled in the luxury Sanctuary Cove precinct, Sarge’s is known for its world-class grooming, skin fades, and hot towel shaves.

Queenslanders voted in record numbers to back their favourite local businesses and places to eat, drink and visit.

More than 75,000 votes were cast across the 15 categories, ranging from best butcher and bakery to the most iconic cafe and camping spot.

Other major winners included Toowoomba’s beloved Super Rooster for best burger joint, Mooloolaba Beach for the state’s best stretch of sand, and Kedron’s Farmhouse taking out the highly competitive best cafe title.

Premier David Crisafulli said that All the Best was Queenslanders doing what they do best.   

“All the Best is exactly that – Queenslanders backing Queenslanders and getting behind the local spots and businesses that they love,” Premier Crisafulli said.  

“A record-breaking number of votes shows we are building something special for this State, just how proud Queenslanders are of where we live, and how good our local businesses really are.  

“Congratulations to every winner and to the thousands of Queenslanders who got behind them to take the crown in their category.”
