THE BARBERHOOD

I was very happy to find the barberhood. It is a good balance between price, service and quality. I have always been happy with the cut and shave I have gotten here. You can be lucky and get a walk in appointment and you are better off booking if you can. They have an online booking form that makes it super easy. Or just call them and Maddie or the team will sort you out. They give you the quality services you need without all the extras to justify a higher price. If you're looking for a new barber or one while you are travelling then try the barberhood. If you can't get a time at Martin place you want, they do have another store a short walk away

I normally pay around $70 for a haircut here, but this visit cost almost $100 and was easily my worst experience to date. The barber was rough, clippers kept pulling at my hair and despite asking for just a quarter inch off, I was given something closer to a buzz cut. I was given a $20 refund, which I appreciate, but I still wish I hadn’t come in today. I would strongly recommend asking for the price before the service, as it seems to vary. While I noticed other barbers working more gently with their clients, mine felt rushed and careless. Maybe he was having an off day, but it was an extremely unpleasant and expensive experience for me. The inconsistency in both pricing and quality has become impossible to ignore, and after this visit I can’t justify coming back. EDIT: thanks for replying to my review but before you accuse someone of leaving a misleading review, you should probably look into speaking with your staff and getting the accurate account of what happened. I have now attached a screenshot of my bank statement, which clearly shows both my deposit and the later charge at the salon, which totals $97.22. I walked back in to argue for myself that $69.95 is the right price and to get that refund so thank you for confirming that I was overcharged.

First timer here, went for a haircut and beard reshape. Serviced by Sam who did an amazing job. He gave me the style I asked for. Couldn't be happier with everything from the service to the style. Definately recommend as all stylists there knew what they were doing.

Went in this morning for the second time (first time was months ago for an executive shave and it was really good) and while I did get an excellent hair cut and a shave, I felt the service was a bit off this time around. For instance, even though I had told the gentleman on the front desk what I wanted to do, I had to mention it again to the gentleman who ended up serving me (I believe Sam) when I expected that it would be passed on. Sam might be new to the shop and it showed but he got my haircut nailed to a tee although the face shave felt too quick (I thought the mens cut and executive shave option meant you got the full executive shave option like when you do it standalone). Even the hair wash felt rushed as I have had it in other places where they do shampoo, conditioner and even a light massage. Would I go back again? I probably will but I might break it into separate sessions so that hopefully I get the value of what I would be paying for properly.

Fantastic cut. Didn’t know what I wanted and Ryan nailed it. Worth every penny

Don't often leave reviews for barbers but the Barberhood in Martin Place was the best experience I've had at a barber. All the staff were lovely and Carlos did a really great job on my hair. Highly recommend!

Great place. Barber fit me in last minute. Service was great and shave procedure was unreal, from the towels to the balms used.

I think for me its the price point and the quality of the cut. I recently went for a haircut at the martin place store and most of the time they are good haircuts (from the lady that works there). HOWEVER i recently went to get a haircut and gave clear instructions on what i was looking to get done and the cut was way below expectation. If customers are paying a $69 for a hair cut, not including a wash, dry, style or any form of treatment, I expect the service to be the best there is with no flaws But in comparison to other barbers like gentry barbers in leichhartd, this barber shop is missing on a lot of points. Firstly, not all customers are stereotypical straight men for example and some people may be more particular with the type of cut they want. My advice on this, listen to the clients wants, work on blowdrying skills (because using a curling brush on low heat and blowdrying the hair flat and back is not how you do it and to be frank looks bloody ridiculous when i needed to go back to work shortly after) Second to this, understand the customers, thickness, cut and type of hair (thin or thick) this will help in maintaining clients. Overall would i recommend this barber shop, yes, would i go to this barbershop if i needed a more particular cut or style? No i would not. For the services offered and the price they charge. This barber shop may be reserved for your typical 9-5 finance guy who just wants a short back and sides with a deep wallet.
