Best Haircut in Melbourne? Here’s Why People End Up at Buddy’s

Look, every barber in this city reckons they’re the best. We’re not going to stand here and tell you we’re the only good cut in Melbourne because that’s a lie and you’d see through it in two seconds.

What we will tell you is this: if you’re after a proper haircut in Carlton, done by someone who’s actually behind the chair every day (not just the guy who owns the place and shows up for photos), you’ve found it.

Where We Are

85 Grattan Street, Carlton. Two minutes from the Melbourne Uni end of Lygon Street, an easy walk from the CBD if you’re keen to stretch your legs.

Who’s Cutting

We’ve got a proper crew on the chairs Tuesday to Saturday. Every one of them’s earned their spot, no rookies fumbling through their first fade on your head. Different guys, different strengths, but the same standard across the board.

What We’re Actually Good At

We’re not a “quick trim and out the door” kind of shop. We take the time to figure out what actually suits your head, your hair type and how much effort you’re realistically going to put in at home (be honest with us here).

Skin fades, scissor cuts, beard tidy ups, the works. If you’ve had a haircut somewhere else that left you looking like you lost a bet, come see us. We’ll sort it.

Why People Keep Coming Back

Because a good barber isn’t just someone with clippers. It’s someone who remembers what you asked for last time, tells you straight if a style isn’t going to work on you, and doesn’t rush you out the door because there’s a queue.

That’s the whole philosophy here. Simple as that.

Booking

Tuesday to Saturday, 85 Grattan Street, Carlton. Walk ins welcome but book ahead if you want to guarantee your preferred barber.

If you’re searching for the best haircut in Melbourne, come find out for yourself. We reckon you’ll stop looking after one visit.
