The Melbourne Barber Shop

George is a very friendly and pleasant barber for anyone to get a decent haircut from. This was my visit to his barbershop in CBD, and I was a bit anxious about getting a haircut because it could be a hit or miss in a new place. However, he made sure that I got a great service possible as he was very understanding and went extra mile to get me the haircut that I was looking for. Simply, his professionalism shone through his attitude and work. Definitely, I'd consider coming back here for my next haircut.

Made an appointment at last minute. George was amazing and moved his lunch to fit me in. Very knowledgeable and recommended what would look good. Did a hair cut and beard trim. Spent time to have a chat and no pressure with someone behind you. Great service. Highly recommend.

Five Stars, no question. I'm in town for the Grand Prix, more a stranger than Adam's off-ox. Walked in on a Monday, got an appointment for Tuesday, came back in then to be seated bang-on-time, got individualized attention to my weekly head shave, excellent Proraso lather with careful and diligent focus to skin care and my grooming requirements. The lovely conversation about our shared interest in cars and bikes offered a pleasant bonus. Pick the man's brain about Porsche, willya? Yeah, it's not the ordinary bustling-community-barbershop-as-mens-sanctuary experience some might be used to - you get the attention of a charming master technician (and petrolhead) instead. It's very much a man's refuge from the hassles of the day. You'll emerge relaxed and refreshed and looking like a million bucks. Book your regular appointment to keep looking sharp. I'm very thankful to have found this place. You will be, too.

Genuinely the best cut I've had in ages, my hair texture and shape can be challenging, but the result was just right, tq

George is by far one of the funniest blokes I have ever met. The company is amazing, the brilliant haircut and beard trim is just a bonus. Always a pleasure!

Came here at the recommendation of my roommate and do not regret it at all. The barbers here are decent blokes and the gentleman I had today gave me a mean zero fade.
He was also happy to give advice on how to grow out my hair which was much appreciated

Good interior vibes and aesthetic - looking forward to seeing how it grows out; will come back :)

Highly recommended, super happy with my haircut. Good atmosphere. George is the owner, awesome barber and really kind.

Hands down the best barber I’ve ever been to. Came to George when I first moved to Melbourne 4 years ago and I’ve never looked back. Listens to exactly what you want and checks in during the cut too. Appointments only which is a massive bonus. Highly recommended.

Such a cool little barber shop. Vintage bikes and car pictures everywhere, old models in a display case, even an old motorbike in the shop itself. Was served a short black before my hair cut. Loved it.

Great bloke, easy to talk to, has great communication skills and cuts hair really well!

George is a really friendly and relaxed guy. He provides excellent customer service. Really excels at high quality traditional cuts.

This place is truly the best. George is a top barber and lovely guy. I am never disappointed with my haircuts from him. Great to see he is still going well after a difficult two years. He has a loyal following of regulars for a reason. Do yourself a favour and become one of them!

Best barber shop I’ve ever been too, highly recommend. George is great and really makes you feel welcome. Cool fit out too with lots of vintage collectibles to admire, makes getting your hair cut an experience.

Best barber shop in Melbourne. The owner have a good experience (over 30 years) and discuss with the customer before the cut. The haircut is very tidy and the detail is very good. Will comeback for sure.

Very professional; I didn't have any idea on what my haircut style should be but was given what suits me best. Will definitely come back in the future

Been coming here for many years, and always appreciate the excellent service and engaging conversation at The Melbourne Barber Shop. Highly recommend!

Great cuts every time, and a really kind, friendly barber. Be sure to book well in advance.

First time I visited George and cut my hair at the Melbourne Barber Shop. Nice welcome hello with a coffee offer (It was very early in the morning) I can only say that the result was great. George will listen to you and then will recommend you what's suit you better during the journey. Keep doing a good job ! See you next month :)

George has been my barber for years. With George, you are always assured on personal treatment; you are greeted with a short black and conversation. You also get a great hair cut! You have to book in, but I like that; you are assured of that personal treatment without the wait. You know also that there's no rush. I actually enjoy going down for a cut.

I've had my hair cut by George for over 6 years, and I would rather go without a haircut than go somewhere else. Friendly service, excellent cuts, a clean store and great prices make this one of the best places in Melbourne for a haircut.
Don't go to one of the chain hairdressers or unisex salons that crowd Melbourne and churn out generic haircuts without any regard for individual style or hair type - come here for a specialist cut by someone with decades of experience working with men's hair.
Every visit is a pleasure, with great conversation and a fun and friendly atmosphere.
I always get compliments on my hair after a cut by George and this is just one of the many reasons I will keep coming back.
George also offers a great selection of products to look after your snappy new cut when you get home, but without the pushy sales patter.
The shop is a car lover's dream, too, and any auto aficionado should make it a point to get a cut here if for no other reason than to enjoy all the posters, photos, memorabilia and models on display, and to experience George's passion for the subject.
