What to look for

  • If you want a fade, look for a shop that does them constantly — precision comes from volume.
  • If your hair is longer than a few inches, look for scissor work and longer appointment times. A 20-minute slot is not enough.
  • Walk-in shops are quicker but you get whoever is free. Appointment shops let you keep the same barber.
  • A shop that asks how you style it at home is usually a shop that will cut it to suit you.

Common questions

How much should a men's haircut cost in Melbourne?
Most Melbourne barbers sit between $25 and $60 for a standard men's cut. High-volume shops start around $25, neighbourhood barbers sit around $40, and appointment-only or scissor-led shops run from $55 upwards because the appointments are longer.
How often should I get a haircut?
A short fade needs a tidy every two to three weeks to hold its shape. A mid-length or scissor-cut style holds for six to ten weeks. If you are growing your hair out, a shape-up every eight weeks keeps it from looking untidy without losing length.
Do I need to book, or can I walk in?
Both exist. Walk-in shops suit a quick, standard cut and are usually busiest at lunchtime and Saturday morning. Appointment-only shops suit anything that needs consultation or more than half an hour.
