An 85-Year Legacy: How One Lebanese Barber Built a Family Empire in Australia

from Generation to Generation - من جيل لجيل

In the opening episode of the “From Generation to Generation” podcast with Dima Alkaed, we explore the remarkable bond between Boutros Akleh and his children, Sarkis and Louise, who inherited not only their father’s life lessons, but also the craft he carried across continents. What began as a single pair of scissors in Lebanon became a thriving family legacy in Australia, passed with pride from parent to child, and now to grandchildren.
