Being an interstate visitor I had wanted a haircut in Melbourne - didn't realise that most mens…read morehairdressers were either a) closed on a weekend and b) not in the city! After an arduous research and more research process of finding a good barber in the city, I finally booked an appointment with a promising one in the far end of the city. Whilst shopping in Emporium however I stumbled across Fleet St - and saw how nice it looked and the barbers looked like they knew what they were doing. Suffice to say I cancelled my other appointment and did a walk in (thank godness for walk ins!) here instead. My barber was friendly, straight to the point and informative. He was telling me about their in house products and took care of me well. (free coffee! Or beer if you wish) That was pretty much one of the best haircut I've had in a LONG time, because you know that your barber is doing a good job and you trust him. He listened to what I was looking for and didn't hesitate to do it or offer suggestions. The price was $49 for a cut which I found a bit pricy, but for a quality cut you get what you paid for. Lastly don't miss out on their fantastic in house products, each one is priced at $28 and they work really well. I will definitely come back on my next Melbourne trip.

I just walked out of Alpha Street Barbers and couldn't be happier with my cut and shave. Kate did my hair, and took her time finding it exactly what I wanted and how I wanted to look. All the barbers were very cool and not only helped me look great, but helped me find great places to hang out while in Melbourne that aren't run of the mill. Overall, a fantastic experience. If your in or around Melbourne for any decent amount of time and need a haircut, look no further.

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 - 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.

I was allowed to book in at short notice to fix up a botch job elsewhere and I came away a lot happier. They also offer traditional face and neck shaving and eye brow tidy ups if required. I definitely recommend this place for top service. Prices for a haircut around $25 to $35. I'll be coming back here for sure.

Not bloody bad at all. If you're like me and you support the small business owner before the big business money machine then go on down and let Neill give you that funky cut you've been craving. This place will probably not attract the suit and tie brigade but for me that's a plus.

Run by Lorenzo, who emigrated from the South of Italy around 40 years ago, Lygon Hairdressers does a killer haircut for $20. Not only do you get a great no nonsense cut, but you also get a close shave of your neck and the back and sides of your hair with a razor blade. Lorenzo is a pretty easy-going bloke who likes a good yarn spun. If you are in the mood for a good chat then he's quite talkative. Similarly, if you are not in the mood for small talk then he's happy to keep quiet too. Plenty of regulars here of all ages is testament to the quality of the cut and the professionalism shown. There are no appointments taken so it's done by walk-ins. It's also only a ten-minute walk from Melbourne uni and if you are a student then you can get a cut for $18.
