Fantastic experience: Got my fade from Ash and could not be happier. I highly recommend!
Fantastic experience: Ali is a superstar Can't be happier with the service Feel like a new man Highly recommend
Fantastic experience: The guys here are so friendly and professional. Really skilled and great vibe. Highly recommend coming here.
Fantastic experience: Ash went above and beyond, great haircut, great beard trim and great facemask+hot towel at the end
Negative experience: Bro asked me what I wanted. Did the opposite. Asked for mullet, gave me the highest skin fade I’ve ever seen. Told him I style it forward, he cuts it for the side. Asked me what product I wanted, I said texture powder, bro said nah wax is better for you. 81 bucks for the worst haircut I’ve had in decades. I look like Guile from street fighter. Will not be returning.
Hi Benjamin thanks for your feedback. I’m really sorry to hear that you weren’t happy with your haircut — that’s definitely not the experience we aim to provide.
We always try to listen carefully to what our clients want, so it’s disappointing to hear we missed the mark for you on this visit. Your comments about the cut, styling direction, and product choice are noted and we take them seriously.
If you’re open to it, we’d really appreciate the chance to make this right. Please feel free to reach out to us directly so we can discuss another visit on the house please
And if you can give me a name or where you sat so I can talk to him as this is not excepteble at our shop
Thanks again for the feedback — it helps us improve.

Fantastic experience: Amazing haircut! Like wow! Thanks chris, will be returning
Negative experience: Unbelievably bad hair cut. I just spent $50 for 5 mins. I actually just got robbed. Go to Classic Barber they do a much better job for way cheaper. I’ll make it my life mission to never recommend anyone to go here.
Hi Ethan,
We’re really sorry to hear that you were disappointed with your recent visit. That’s certainly not the experience we aim to provide, and we understand how frustrating it can feel when a service doesn’t meet your expectations.
Our pricing reflects the time, training, and care we put into every appointment, but we never want a guest to leave feeling unhappy. We would genuinely appreciate the opportunity to speak with you directly to better understand what went wrong and see if there’s anything we can do to make it right.and if you can please let me know who you sat with so can I speak to him about the whole experience
Thank you
Manager Ali
Fantastic experience: Absolute 5 star experience. Always a perfect cut and staff are awesome!
Fantastic experience: Great hair cut and even better service
Fantastic experience: Asked for a blowout taper and a textured fringe and Chris did an amazing job
Fantastic experience: I’ve been going to Fade Men's Barber for a while now, and I honestly can’t recommend Ash enough. He goes above and beyond every single time, putting real passion into his work. His eye for detail is second to none, he makes sure everything is absolutely spot on. You can tell he genuinely cares about his clients and takes pride in every cut. I’ve never once left disappointed. Consistently top-quality service, great atmosphere, and a barber who truly loves what he does. Highly recommend!
Fantastic experience: Got my haircut by Chris, absolute legend of a guy and very detailed and sharp. Great price to!
Fantastic experience: I am stoked! I just had the best haircut and even better chats with Chris. I’m picky, too. I told him what I wanted - number 1 on the sides, blended and to have the weight taken off the top. When he asked me if I wanted any length taken off, I told him to do what he thought was right. I’m glad I left it up to him, I feel like a million bucks! Thanks, Chris!
Fantastic experience: Great environment, reasonable price, good haircuts
Fantastic experience: asks for girlfriends opinion, but also listens and gives you want you want. great service over all.. great music!!
Fantastic experience: actually do what you want and they make sure they nail it. also hilarious group of guys
Fantastic experience: Never had a bad haircut here always professional staff do a great job very thorough.
Fantastic experience: Hair cut looks great, thanks Ali
Fantastic experience: Always a great haircut and great atmosphere!
Negative experience: Ridiculous wait times , insane how long it takes to cut a man’s hair at this place. !!Have attempted twice there and after standing there wondering why this place is so popular I will never again attempt to go here
Hi Rebecca, thank you for your feedback and we’re really sorry to hear about your experience. We understand how frustrating long wait times can be, and this is certainly not the experience we aim to provide. As a busy shop, there are times when demand is very high, but we’re actively working on improving our wait times and service flow. We truly appreciate you giving us a try, and if you’re ever willing to visit again, we’d love the opportunity to provide you with a much better experience.
Fantastic experience: Huss was great. Super friendly, very funny and great haircut. Gave me a fade.
Negative experience: Terrible haircut, missed multiple spots. Barber continuously stopped to go on his phone.
Hi Lachlan it's Ali the manger at fade
Im really sorry for your bad experience at Fades
Please come back so we can fix your Hair il personally do it myself just ask for Ali and I'd love to do it
And if your able to let me know who cut your Hair or where you sat on wich chair so I can talk to him and let him know that this not exceptable at our shop
Thank you
Fantastic experience: Best barber shop by far! Ask for a certain hair cut and they deliver plus good vibes and friendly environment for any age.
Positive experience: All around great shop not consistent with the haircuts but every haircut is great staff very nice and they even opened up earlier then what they said
Fantastic experience: Very happy with the skin fade from Ali. Friendly guy and overall great experience
Negative experience: Store opening hours say 8am on Thursday No one rocked up until 20th at 8. 8:45 the guy is inside FaceTiming walked off. If your running late no problem but maybe service your customers as quickly as you can when you get in
Fantastic experience: Great experience and fast and efficient service. Very friendly staff
Fantastic experience: 10 out of 10 would highly recommend coming here
Negative experience: Been here many times but the quality has dropped badly. The barbers were too busy chatting amongst themselves in their local language instead of focusing on the cut. I showed a photo of a simple skin fade and walked out with a completely different style, such a bad haircut. Most folks take pride in their craft, but here it's hit or miss. Overpriced, overrated - some people should seriously not be practising as barbers.
Positive experience: *edited* Worst hair cut. We waited over 90 minutes for a “hair cut”. We were charged a fade rate, when he only had the area around the ear clipped. The back is uneven and messy and his hair was not even styled at the end of the cut. Thanks Ali for inviting my son back in to have his hair cut again at no extra cost. While he couldn’t get his desired haircut, Ali explained to him the expectations and fixed the mistakes of the previous cut.
Hey Nicole its Ali the manger
Im really sorry for Sons experience at the shop today
Can you please bring him back to fix as i will not except
Il make sure he'll walkout happy.
Fantastic experience: Ali did an amazing job, will definitely be returning
Fantastic experience: Props to Ali for fitting me in at the end of the day did a really efficient and accurate haircut within 15 minutes. Will definitely be coming back here from now on. A bit pricey, but that’s what you gotta pay when you want a nice haircut done in a quick amount of time
Fantastic experience: Didn’t get his name but he cut my brother hair a few weeks earlier and mine later, best cut I’ve had in ages and barber was mint
Fantastic experience: Had a really good experience at Fade today. We realised we’d asked for the wrong style, and they were happy to fix it without any fuss or extra cost. My son left with the cut he wanted and feeling good. Really appreciate the customer service and support. We’ll be back.
Fantastic experience: Fantastic service very cc charismatic staff members. Myself a bearded fella and my 2 year old got haircuts and beard trims at the establishment. Cannot fault
Fantastic experience: Chris cut me nice! Only barber I’d trust with tight curls. ASK FOR CHRIS!!!
Fantastic experience: Good Haircut. Good communication from the barber. Clean workspace. will definitely come back if I am in the area
Fantastic experience: Ali was so patient and kind with our son. Best experience and such kind staff. Thank you.
Fantastic experience: Beard fade from Ali, got exactly what I wanted! Perfect place!
Fantastic experience: Great service and value. I went for a shave, and Ali did a ripper of a job. The man knows how to use a straight edge razor. It's been the best suave I've received from a barber. Would recommend
Fantastic experience: Tried something new this time round, Ali was very welcoming and made some great suggestions. Love his work
Fantastic experience: Ali was absolutely amazing, the best
Negative experience: terrible haircut left my hair uneven paid $40 for a 10 minute max haircut and the guy was rude didnt talk at all and was overall blunt and condescending
Negative experience: Quickest haircut I’ve ever had, haircut itself was alright not the best but very poor customer service.

Fantastic experience: Ash is an amazing barber! He’s not only skilled and gives a great haircut every time, but he’s also fantastic with kids. My son really enjoys getting his hair cut now, thanks to Ash's patience and friendly approach. Highly recommend!
Fantastic experience: I walked into the shop expecting my usual boring haircut, but Ash had other plans. He told me to leave it to him—and I’m glad I did! He gave me a fresh style that suits my face shape and hairline perfectly. Big shoutout to Ash for the great work and attention to detail. Highly recommend!
Fantastic experience: Ash was a legend and hooked me up with a clean cut. Highly recommend
Fantastic experience: I have been coming to Fade for about 9 months and it just keeps getting better and better. Borna is a real perfectionist and loves to always makes his customers top priority. He makes me feel like a king with his high level of special treatment. You can also tell that they all really like each other and care for each other like a family of brothers. I really find it very entertaining like a performance out in the Melbourne city for a production. Mr Mufty should be in show business. The manager is always excellent service and makes me feel very welcome as does Huss. This business is such a positive contribution to Ringwood East . Congratulations to the team at Fade. Regards Paul Warner
Hey Paul
Thank you so much for your beautiful review and kind words
We do treasure our good services with our customers and give them the best we can
Thank you once again and will see you soon
Regards
Ali Manager
Fantastic experience: Ali did a ripper job with my hair and beard. Went in looking like a scruff came out a new man feeling amazing.
Fantastic experience: Super happy with my first experience, Ali did the best job
Negative experience: Requested a taper style haircut and provided images. i asked if they wanted me to leave my phone on a nearby stand for reference. the man said no i don't need it and i walked out of the store with the ugliest mullet i've ever had in my life. Charged 40 for the wrong haircut and not even a good one at that
Hey Sydney it's Ali Manager of Fade
Im really sorry for your bad experience at the shop not sure why this happened
all our workers are well experiences with any style of haircuts
Not sure why this happened but please would be my pleasure for you to come back get it fixed or have your next haircut on the house ofcourse
Regards
Ali the manager
Fantastic experience: Always a pleasure getting a fade here, all the barbers are very welcoming and really know their craft. Especially Ethan, all class.
Fantastic experience: Awesome service, Ali was amazing perfect cut with a lot of care
Fantastic experience: Ali gave me a fade, very good cut easy talking and genuine bloke
Negative experience: Ali messed up my hair so bad. It looked way better before, and now it’s absolute trash. I had to go get it cut again just to fix the disaster. Never going back.☹️
Fantastic experience: Chris was excellent. Very thorough and gave me what I asked for and more. Took extra care. Awesome.
Fantastic experience: Incredible experience with Ali. Very experienced - did a greet job and also a good bloke
Fantastic experience: Ali was fantastic with my 2yo! Especially listening to what we wanted, tidying up a previous haircut we weren’t happy with and managing a toddler who was difficult to sit still initially! Great result and great service! Thanks Ali!
Fantastic experience: Got a fresh skin fade from Ali at The Men’s Barber in Eastland and he did a fantastic job. Super professional, skilled, and really takes the time to understand your hair and what style suits you best. I come to FADE regularly and always leave happy. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a clean, sharp cut and great service
Fantastic experience: These fellas deliver, all super friendly and give sick cuts. Zein cut me and did a rippa job, highly recommend!
Fantastic experience: Only barbershop where you never have to worry about getting the "right" barber. Every bloke working here is a total pro and, after 3+ years of coming here, I've never been disappointed once, no matter who cuts.
Fantastic experience: Been coming to Zein for quite some time now and I’ve not once had a bad experience every cut I get by him is just consistency after consistency and that’s what I love, someone that takes pride and precision in his haircuts and makes sure I leave 110%. Zein is the goat. See you soon mate for a clean up
Fantastic experience: Khodar gave me an amazing burst fade I highly recommend him if you want the best of the best
Fantastic experience: Always straight up good service from the boys & always A1 results can't fault them, highly recommend this barber.
Fantastic experience: I had the best haircut experience there with a barber named Huss 10/10 service and good chat with him also , I would definitely recommend going there as I saw all the other barbers giving good haircuts and definitely had some good energy
Fantastic experience: Ali was amazing, even made me look good! Great bloke too.
Fantastic experience: Ali did an awesome job - fade and beard trim. Highly recommended. Will be back!
Fantastic experience: Did an absolute amazing job cutting my brothers hair, short wait, super friendly, highly recommend.
Negative experience: Been there around 5 times, I've always been charged $35 no matter what day of the week. 2 of the times I've been there they have cut it lopsided and once was way shorter than I asked for. I got my usual haircut which is number 2 on the sides and a trim on the top and back because I have a curly mullet which takes no longer than 10 minutes, As I went up to pay I pulled out $35 cash because that's all it ever is and I had only brought $40 the guy said that will be $48 dollars, when asking him why it had gone up and telling him I only had $40 he claimed that long hair costs more (my hair when I went in was roughly 3 inches long at the top and back and it was barely touched) he then also claimed that there was a 10% extra for a weekend haircut and pointed to the smallest writing saying so. In what world does 10% added onto $35 = $48? I've given them enough chances because they weren't anything to worry about to much at the time just slightly inconvenient. I'm a 17 year old student might I add so I think they were trying to rip me off. I won't be back
Fantastic experience: I’ve been coming to these guys for well over a year now atleast once a month to keep my hair nice and maintained and WONT ever go anywhere else unless I’m on holidays and desperately need trim. These fellas no matter who you get always operate with the highest quality and consistency and I couldn’t recommend them more if I tried
Negative experience: Went in to get my hair trimmed, asked to keep the length and shape the sides, proceeded to take it all off with a fade, cut way too high up, kept getting distracted and after I went home, checked the length at the back and my hair was absolutely a mess and completely uneven on both sides, not worth it and totally unimpressed.
Fantastic experience: Bass is great with kids! My son was so happy with his hair cut, he had the biggest grin on his face afterwards.
Fantastic experience: Fade mem’s barber ask for Wasim! Best in the area - attention to detail, doesn’t rush and makes sure you’re happy with it every time. Great with beards too.
Fantastic experience: I had my 20mo little boy in FADE today, and Bass put his hand up to cut his hair. He was amazing, took his time, did a great job and dealt with all the emotions that come with a little kids hair cut!
Positive experience: First time coming in for a hair cut. Prompt, fast service and pleased. Would be good if the barber used mouth wash to mask the cigarette stench. Questioning whether I’ll return for next cut.
Fantastic experience: Have had multiple haircuts here at fade and haven’t been disappointed. I go in and see Zein and the man knows what I want as I’m explaining to him. Can’t recommend Zein and the guys at fade enough
Negative experience: Hi all…. BEWARE! I just had a haircut from this place. Thursday 20th February 2025. 4:50pm. The WORST haircut I’ve ever had. I told the guy that I had a wedding on Tuesday and that I’m the celebrant. That did not cause him to take any particular care. I was in and out of that chair in about six minutes flat, having asked for a skin fade. I got scalped!! Soooooo disappointed. I would not recommend this shop to anyone who bothers about how their hair cut will look. The guy did not take time or care It felt like I was in an out of the chair in 30 seconds, all for $45. I would definitely never go back to the shop.

Manger
Ali
Fantastic experience: Had a great hair cut and shave from Ali, didn’t have to give him much ideas he understood the assignment well . Thanks a lot for a great hair cut
Negative experience: Although I rarely write reviews, this experience was exceptionally disappointing. I presented him with a photograph that accurately depicted my desired haircut. However, the execution was severely lacking, resulting in a completely opposite outcome. The stylist was preoccupied with their own actions rather than paying attention to the haircut, which was executed incorrectly. I strongly advise against this service.
Hey Noah, we appreciate your feedback and apologise for the uneven haircut you received at our shop today.
If you please let me know who you sat with so I can address the haircut he did and what went wrong
. We do treasure all our customers and we wish to always do our best to provide the best haircuts. If the cut still needs fixing please come back to our shop and the next haircut will be on the house as well. Once again we apologise for your bad experience
Many thanks
Ali- Manager at Fade Men's Baber
