So you searched something like “barber shop melbourne” or “barber near me” and Google sent you here instead of straight to the booking page. Fair enough. Here’s the stuff we’d tell you in person if you walked in and asked, instead of another page full of stock photos and words like “premium experience.”
Is there an actual decent barber shop in Melbourne that isn’t a chain?
Yeah. Buddy’s is at 85 Grattan Street, Carlton, five minutes from Melbourne Uni and Lygon Street. One shop, chairs run by people who’ve been doing this a while, not a franchise with fifteen locations and a loyalty app. If you want a haircut from someone who remembers your name and not just your customer ID, this is that.
Do you do beard grooming in Melbourne or just haircuts?
Beard grooming melbourne locals actually rate is harder to find than it should be. We do proper beard trims and shapes, not a two minute afterthought tacked onto a haircut. If you’re growing one out or trying to get it looking less like a mistake, ask for a beard trim when you book.
I searched “barber shop near me” and got sent here. Why?
Because Google’s guess at “near me” is doing its best, and we’re an actual physical shop you can walk into, not a mobile app or a directory listing. If you’re in Carlton, Parkville, Fitzroy, Brunswick or North Melbourne, “near me” was closer than you thought.
Is it worth the trip from Fitzroy, Brunswick or North Melbourne?
We get people from all of those areas already, so yes, apparently. There isn’t a barbershop Fitzroy locals or a barbershop Brunswick regulars rave about on every corner, and a barber north melbourne residents actually trust is thinner on the ground than it looks on a map. Fifteen minutes on a tram gets you a better haircut than the place two doors down from your apartment.
Can I actually get a mullet done properly?
This one comes up constantly. Yes, we do mullets, properly, not just a long back and a shrug. If you’re chasing a mullet melbourne barbers won’t roll their eyes at, you’re in the right place.
What’s the best mens haircut in Melbourne, or just the closest option?
Honestly, “best” is doing a lot of work in that question. What we can tell you is we’re not the closest option for most people searching this, and people still come here anyway. Book the chair, judge for yourself.
Still got questions? Book in or come find us at 85 Grattan Street, Carlton.
