From a pipedream to reality.. we welcome the Ash and Oak Barbershop. For Ray Steels Owner Josh Kinnes owning a Barbershop has always been a crazy dream. Josh has lived in Belgrave, the heart of the Dandenong Ranges in Victoria for a number of years. During these years he had always kept his eye on one particular shop.. 'the old op shop'.
