Cutting and styling men’s hair requires a skilled barber. That’s a barber who is well trained and has heaps of experience. It’s a barber who is across classic cuts of all styles, but also the latest, on-trend looks.
The best barbers are great communicators. They ask the right questions and provide the right answers, so every client is 100 per cent satisfied. The best barbers handle cuts for males of all ages, from kids to seniors.
In this article, we’ll outline the qualities to consider when choosing a barber, and share where to find the best in Tuggeranong.
What makes a great a barber?
Not all barbers or barbershops are created equal. To find a barber you’ll want to visit again, do your research before making an appointment. This will give you confidence you’ll get the experience you want.
It can be helpful to keep the following in mind when choosing a barber.
- Experience. A great barber has the experience to cut and style your hair how you want it. The best are confident enough to tell you if the style you want will work. They’ll assess if the style will work with the type of hair you have, as well as the shape of your face and your features.
- Convenience. The best barbers are often the busiest barbers. It can be challenging to get an appointment or just walk-in. Check with barbershops to see how busy and accommodating they are.
- Grooming. You may want a barber who offers other grooming services. Examples include steam shaves and beard trims. Head online to see what services the barbershop offers.
- Clean and tidy. You’ll want a clean, tidy and hygienic barbershop. Also one that is well-organised and efficient.
- Reasonably priced. Prices vary widely from one barbershop to another. Some offer budget prices. Others charge more for a full haircutting and styling experience. Choose a barbershop that fits your budget.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes a great barber?
A great barber has experience and training in cutting hair for males, from kids through to seniors. The best barbershops also provide shaves and beard services. They work across many different styles and are efficient and professional.
Are barber shops for men only?
Barbers traditionally offer haircuts for males. They often also offer facial hair and grooming services. Some services, such as hair colouring, may or may not be offered.
HoHow much does it cost for services at a barber shop?
Barbers can charge as little as $10 for a buzz cut or $100 for a full style haircut and experience. The price you pay reflects the type and level of service you want. It can also be influenced by the barbershop’s style, reputation and the barber’s experience.
What’s a fade?
A fade is a hairstyle, variating from the classic “short back and sides”. The hair on the sides is cut in graduated lengths from top to bottom. This gives the appearance that the hair “fades” away to skin moving towards the nape of the neck.
Should I wash my hair before heading to the barbershop?
It's generally recommended you wash your hair between 12 and 24 hours before heading to the barbershop. Barbers prefer you arrive with clean hair, which is easier for them to style and cut.
