Jimmy Rod's

Multiple Locations

In an era where we are all trying to rush through life, Jimmy Rods is bringing back the slow and indulgent ritual of treating yourself to a nice trim. What began in 2003 as a single Oxley storefront has evolved into a defining name in Queensland’s barbering scene, yet its ethos remains unchanged. Jimmy Rod envisioned more than just precise and classic cuts, so he built a space where men could slow down, connect, and unwind. Think leather couches, easy banter, and an atmosphere that is equally nostalgic and modern. At Jimmy Rods, a haircut isn’t just maintenance, it’s a full-on experience.
