THE BARBERHOOD

I’ve been a regular client of Ryan for almost two years, and his skill and attention to detail have always set him apart. He consistently delivers clean, precise cuts and really takes the time to understand the style you want. His technique and ability to make you feel comfortable in that chair is what makes him an exceptional barber. This was my first visit to see him at The Barberhood in Martin Place, and the experience was outstanding. The shop has a great atmosphere, a convenient location, and the staff are warm and welcoming. I’ll definitely continue coming here. Highly recommended!

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.

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

Went in last week for a hair cut and beard trim. Ryan smashed it and I was thoroughly happy with the service. Very conveniently located in Martin Place and the mood/ambience was great for a lunch time trim!

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

Had a beard trim and haircut with Ryan, who always gives great cuts and great conversation.
