If you’re at Melbourne Uni or RMIT, at some point you’ll Google something like:
barber near Melbourne Uni
barber Carlton
good fade near RMIT
That’s usually when your hair’s already gone too far.
Buddy’s is in Carlton, walking distance from Melbourne Uni and a quick tram from RMIT. No shopping centre chaos. No rushed panic trims before a presentation. Just proper cuts done properly.
A lot of students think they want cheap. What they actually want is not embarrassing.
You don’t want:
- a fade that disappears in three days
- a buzz cut that grows out like Lego hair
- a barber who doesn’t look up from the clippers
You want something that works in class, at work, and out on the weekend. A cut that grows out clean and doesn’t need fixing two weeks later.
That’s what we focus on.
Every semester there’s a moment where you suddenly care about your haircut. Presentation. Internship. Date. Job interview. Random night that turns into a bigger one.
You don’t need a “student special”. You just need to look sorted.
We run five chairs on busy days, so you’re not waiting around for an hour between lectures. Book it in, come through, get it done, get back to it.
Carlton isn’t short on barbers. We’re not trying to be the cheapest one. We’re trying to be the one you come back to.
If you’re studying near Melbourne Uni or RMIT and you’re due, just check availability on Google or our website and lock it in.
Simple.
