And it's not just giving top-tier cuts, but it's a profound dedication to giving back.
Since opening its doors, Tapered the Barbershop has become more than just a place for fresh fades and sharp trims.
Under Baz’s leadership, it has transformed into a hub for community support, offering free haircuts to the homeless, supporting local charities, and raising funds for vital causes.
Baz has been a strong advocate for mental health, championing initiatives like It’s Okay Not to Be Okay, RUOK Day, and many other organizations aimed at breaking the stigma around mental well-being.
His barbershop has become a safe space where conversations go beyond just hair—offering support, understanding, and connection.
In recognition of his unwavering commitment, Tapered the Barbershop has been nominated once again for the Blacktown Local Business Awards—an honor they have proudly won twice before.
This latest nomination reaffirms the impact that Baz and his team have had on the community and their continued pursuit of excellence, both in their craft and in their community contributions.
“As barbers, we don’t just cut hair—we listen, we connect, and we support,” says Baz Tastan.
“This shop has always been about more than just business. It’s about creating a space where people feel comfortable, where they can talk, and where we can give back to those who need it most.”
As Tapered the Barbershop celebrates its 8-year anniversary, the Quakers Hill community stands behind them, recognising not just their success as a business, but their dedication to making a real difference.
