Anyone that knows him well enough knows he needs a project.
Paul Howard opened The Two Georges Barbershop in 2025, in a room the size of a laneway workshop under the original beams of an 1890s West End warehouse. Years of research went into it. You may recognise the face as one half of George and Ivy, the salons he runs across town.
The address is the point as much as the room is. 16A Bannister St, Fremantle, through a brick archway with ivy over it, with a red and white barber pole beside the timber door. There is no street frontage and no shopfront sign. You have to know it is there.
