The regulars

Rafa came in not sure what he wanted and left with exactly the right cut. Marcel showed a photo and it was done spot on, and quick. Anurag's first barber in Australia, and he's glad it was this one.

Really happy with my visit. I came in without being sure what I wanted, and the barber took the time to actually listen and understand — the cut turned out exactly right. The owner is genuinely welcoming and easy to chat with, and the shop is a beautiful space.

Rafa, Google review

I just dropped in, showed Adam how the cut should look like and that he shouldn’t cut too much on the top. He was super quick, friendly and managed the cut spot on!
