Overview
There's usually not much to love about the airport. After all, you're spending most of your time waiting for your flight to take to the skies. However, a brand-new update to Sydney Airport means your wait won't feel so long, as a collection of health and beauty businesses have officially touched down.
Marked as an Australian first, T1 International Arrivals will now be home to Barber's Lounge, ensuring you can get a feel-good trim before or after your flight. Whether you need a precision cut or a clean shave, freshening up is made easy, bringing a much-needed sense of calm to your airborne commute.
"Arriving after a long flight often means heading straight into meetings, events or home life. Barber's Lounge at Sydney Airport gives travellers the opportunity to refresh and feel their best as soon as they land," says Omar Choukchouk, Owner of Barber's Lounge.
This update also includes Australia's first airport-based gym, with Anytime Fitness set to launch soon. Spread across 300 square metres, this fully kitted gym is the ideal way to squeeze in a workout or limber up after a long-haul flight. Plus, if you're getting ready to board, pumping iron or crushing a few k's on the trendline might help you get straight to sleep.
What's more, ProfessioNail will also descend on T1 towards the end of the year. Rather than sitting around the terminal staring out the window, you could pamper yourself with an express manicure or expert nail care. With these new services easing your travel experience, a little self-care before or after your journey might go a long way.
"We know that after a long flight, people want things to feel simple and seamless," says Sydney Airport General Manager Retail, Gail Taylor. "Whether you're arriving in Sydney for the first time or coming home, our focus is on making the experience smoother and more enjoyable."
Barber's Lounge is now open at Sydney Airport T1 International terminal, with Anytime Fitness launching soon and ProfessioNail expected to open before the end of Q3. Head to the website for more information.
