What to look for

  • Name the result, not the service. "Low taper with length on top" gets you a better cut than "short back and sides".
  • Bring a photo. It removes most of the guesswork about how short "short" is.
  • Ask how long the appointment is. Twenty minutes is a clipper cut; forty-five is a considered one.
  • Thick, curly or coarse hair benefits from someone who cuts it every day.

How much does a men's haircut cost in Australia? Half of what Australian businesses publish sits between $30 and $60.

Common questions

Barber or hair salon for a men's cut?
Barbers are generally stronger on clipper work, fades and beards. Salons and men's grooming studios are generally stronger on longer hair, texture and anything involving colour. Plenty of places do both well — the specialties listed on each profile are the reliable guide.
What should I say if I don't know what I want?
Describe the problem rather than the solution: it gets flat by lunchtime, it sticks out at the sides, it takes too long in the morning. A good barber will translate that into a cut.
