This is everything we expect from an original barber shop. Bare Bones Barbershop goes for the (as they say) no-fuss approach. “You walk in, wait your turn, get your cut and you’re out.” These barbers are true artists and probably one of the most experienced in Australia. They started with the art of barbering in 1999, which is way before the rediscovering of the barber shop as we know it now. Going to the barber was something traditional for men to do. Away from wife and kids, they had a moment to be amongst others. Maybe they took their son with them to pass this experience on. And we should praise the ones like Bare Bones Barbers for keeping this alive way before it became trendy again.

Where others can be trendy, this shop is authentic. They can do the simple clean cut, the traditional slick pompadours and the heavy punk-rock look. Let’s say that there is no hairstyle, vintage or trendy, that these guys can’t create. More than 200 votes have given Bare Bones Barbershop an average of 4.7/5. That should tell you how incredible this place is.

An overall great barber shop decorated in that vintage wood look. A place with high quality barbers and a chill vibe. Walk-ins are welcome, no need for an appointment but, you can make one if you like. It’s easy to book online and if you feel like a walk in, you can check the amount of barbers that are working right at this second. Besides all the usual services, The Mustachery provides some facial waxing and offers the mens saloon experience where you can pamper yourself or make yourself ready for a special event. 

A great place to go that has received very high ratings over the years. And we think that this barbershop has the most original name of them all. Visit the Mustachery in Brunswick.

There is no way to describe the roots of ESQ. Male Grooming any better than they have done on their website. “Coined by Qantas’ Travel Insider as “administering Brisbane’s best beard love”, Mark Rabone is the barber behind it all. Mark came to Brisbane with a wealth of experience in high end UK barbershops.” The shop offers everything you expect from a barber. The traditional mens grooming with the modern touch. Mark’s business has proven itself to be one of the best in Brisbane since 2004. Both locations have received the average score of a 4.9/5. The prices are slightly higher than the average, but nothing out of the ordinary. Luckily you can easily schedule your appointment online and see the services and pricing.
