Barber's shop to close after 50 years

An Ettalong barber's shop will close after nearly 50 years.

Barber Mr Wayne Lynch, who has been cutting hair there for the last 18 years, said he would be "sad to leave".

The barber shop is decorated with Roosters' memorabilia and has a 100-year-old chair.

"Lots of characters make this barber shop uniquely Australian," he said.

The owners of the shop intend to turn it into an arts and craft shop, according to Mr Lynch.

"I would like to thank all my loyal customers, especially John, who made every day fun," he said.

"Lynchy" will continue to work locally at a Umina barber's shop.
