“Near me” is a habit, not a strategy. It finds you whoever’s closest, not whoever’s best. We’re on Grattan Street in Carlton, technically not “near” half the suburbs sending us regulars, and that’s exactly the point.
Brunswick & Parkville
“Near me” in Brunswick gets you a dozen options and no way to tell them apart. In Parkville it barely gets you anything, just a nudge to grab the clippers yourself. Ten, fifteen minutes down and you skip the guessing entirely. Same chair, same standard, every time.
Brunswick East & Carlton North
Chances are “near me” already points you somewhere close to Lygon Street anyway. If you’re already crossing it for a coffee, the walk to Grattan Street isn’t asking much more, and you stop needing to search at all once you’ve got one barber sorted.
Fitzroy & Collingwood
Plenty of “near me” results up that way, plenty of them charging for the postcode as much as the cut. We’re a few minutes further and priced for the haircut, not the suburb it’s in.
