A LUNDWOOD barber is celebrating 50 years in the same shop.

David Fletcher has been cutting hair for 60 years but moved to his shop in 1965.

He started out when he was 15 at Charles Wilkinson's on Regent Street South where he stayed for nine years. He completed a five-year apprenticeship before moving to Lundwood.

David, 74, still works in the shop two days a week.
