TOPLESS female barbers have been working around the clock to cope with the numbers of American sailors suddenly in need of a hair cut.
Jasmine Robson runs topless hairdressing salon Barber Babes out of her adult entertainment venue The Grosvenor on George.
She said she must have been one of the first people to discover the sailors were coming to town over a week ago.
“I started getting emails and really strange phone calls from Americans with a massive delay, so obviously from the (ship’s) satellite phone,” she said.
“They started to book in for hair cuts which was my first indication that they were coming.”
Ms Robson said the venue was well-prepared for the USS George Washington’s arrival in Brisbane, unlike the last time she had an influx of American sailors in 2013.
“We didn’t know they were coming and we got absolutely slammed. We broke a couple of sets of clippers we did that many clipper cuts,” she said.
“Obviously word has got around about us. Last time we had no bookings and this time we’re nearly booked out.”
Ms Robson spent last week flying in exotic dancers and topless waitresses from all over Australia to meet the demand.
“Sunday and Monday we don’t normally open but we opened especially for them.”
Over the weekend, the need for topless barbers were constant with three hairdressers working non stop.
Exotic dancers also started lap dancing at 11am and have been working a minimum of 12 hours each.
Ms Robson said the sailors’ behaviour was exemplary.
“The girls are there with their boobs out and they’re calling them ‘ma’am’. It’s so cute,” she said.
Electrical technician John Williams was one of the first in the chair and said he had never seen anything like a topless barber.
“Everybody was talking about it on the ship so I decided to send an email and make an appointment,” he said.
“The service is great. She seems like she’s very talented.”
