Fantastic experience: Been in a few times now and had 3 different barbers, they are all nice friendly blokes and provide excellent service, can definitely recommend
Negative experience: Not anymore. The owners are great, but the rest clearly aren’t ready to touch clients. My hair was cut way too short, uneven, and felt like it was done by an apprentice practicing for the first time. Won’t be coming back such a waste of money.
Fantastic experience: Excellent! Clean friendly service. Great for a beard trim and shave. Highly recommended.
Negative experience: Very friendly youngs guys but $50 for short back n sides nothing off the top 5min haircut Ella . Crazy price
Hi DJ A, thanks for the feedback and for coming in. We're glad you found the team friendly.
Just to clarify, the service you received was a zero fade, which is priced at $49 and clearly listed on our website and booking system, we always recommend confirming pricing before the service if there is any uncertainty.
Zero fades take more time and detail than a standard short back and sides, which is why they're priced differently.
We understand pricing isn't for everyone and respect your opinion, but we always aim to be transparent and deliver quality work. We appreciate you giving us a try.
Fantastic experience: Chris has been my regular barber for several years at another local business. Trim & Proper Barbershop being his first shop located in Darwin City is excellent. The staff are friendly and the service and quality of haircuts is always consistent. Highly recommend anyone wanting a personal barbershop experience to check out these guys.
Fantastic experience: One of the best places to get your hair cut in Darwin great service 5 stars
Fantastic experience: Convenient barbershop in the city. Friendly staff and excellent facilities. No appointments needed. Walk in service. I will be back!
Fantastic experience: Absolutely five-star service from start to finish. Great personal service with excellent attention to detail — the haircut was spot on, and they were fantastic with kids as well. Finished off with a hot, refreshing towel and even offered tea or coffee afterwards — little touches that make a big difference.
Fantastic experience: Absolutely perfect artwork and craftsmanship from start to finish. The attention to detail is next level, and the standard of workmanship speaks for itself. Trim & Proper is truly a one-stop barber shop, with a friendly, welcoming team that makes the whole experience even better. Highly recommend to anyone who wants it done properly.

Negative experience: So disappointed, I went to get my hair cut there, asked For skin fade( mid height) this guy even didn’t know what mid fade he just but the half head from one side and the other side he did mid fade, and i was like , mate what are you doing spending whole time one side, and keep cutting one side and reached up to the top of my hairs, i didn’t understand why didn’t he see hairs on the other side now one side is fade till the top and the other side is mid, and i said i don’t want to stay here any more thanks, and then they showed courtesy didn’t charge me after this terrible cut, and said we will fix it next time, bro there is no next time, oen and last terrible experience
Fantastic experience: Great fade, very quick and exceptionally friendly staff

Fantastic experience: New in town with top service, Tien and the boys
Fantastic experience: Great job by Tien!! Will definitely recommend to all!
Fantastic experience: The experience was astonishing got my hair done very nicely including my beard everything was perfect
Positive experience: Posting on behalf of my husband. Booking was easy and salon looked good. But my husband said it didn’t feel very hygienic as the guy was eating while he was cutting him. He didn’t love his fade. We want to support local so will try it again… maybe just a one off experience.
Hi Rebecca, thank you for sharing your husband's experience — we're sorry to hear he didn't fully enjoy his visit.
We just wanted to double-check something, as we want to make sure we're addressing the right situation. In our barbershop, our barbers never eat while cutting hair — they have scheduled lunch breaks away from clients to keep everything hygienic and professional.
Because of that, we're a bit unsure if this may have happened here or if there's been a mix-up with another barbershop.
If you could please confirm the date and time of his appointment, we'll look into it straight away. We want to make sure he gets the best possible service and that we fully understand what happened.
Thank you again for supporting local - we appreciate it and hope to see you both again. You can contact us on 0889927776 or email us at [email protected]

Fantastic experience: Great service and a really good experience.. New Barbershop in the heart of cbd . Finally found a great barber who are consistant with their service.
Fantastic experience: Always great service. Very good people.
Fantastic experience: Friendly crew with great attention to detail. Very happy with the hair cut and the experience. I normally cut my own hair as I’ve had so many bad experiences in other places so am always hesitant. But glad I tried these guys out. Will definitely use again when in Darwin and in need of a haircut. Thanks Chris.
Fantastic experience: I’ve been getting my hair cut at Trim and Proper for a while now, and honestly, they’re the best in Darwin. The barbers here really know their craft, always take the time to get it right and make sure you leave happy. The place has a great vibe, it’s clean, relaxed, and you never feel rushed. Consistent quality every time. Couldn’t recommend them enough!
Negative experience: I’ve been a loyal customer at this barber shop for quite some time, but after today’s visit, unfortunately I won’t be returning. The barber seemed more focused on taking photos of previous clients’ hair than on my own cut. I specifically asked for a dropped skin fade, but the result was far from it. The back and sides were uneven and poorly blended, and the top and front were overcut. I ended up paying full price for what felt like an apprentice-level haircut. Really disappointing experience from a place I had previously trusted.
Hi Tyler,
We're sorry to hear you felt disappointed after your last visit. We always appreciate feedback from our regulars and aim to make sure everyone leaves happy.
Just to clarify — you came in as a walk-in that day, and our barber fit you in right after finishing another client. Before starting, he took a few quick photos to promote his previous work, which is part of how we showcase our barbers' skills. During your service, he checked in with you about the cut, and you asked for a bit more off the top and fringe, which he adjusted for you.
When you checked out, the haircut looked great, and you didn't mention any issues at the time. We also encouraged you to book an appointment for next time so we can ensure you get full attention without any wait.
We value you as a client and would be happy to talk about this in person if there's still any concern. Our goal is always to make sure you leave satisfied with both your haircut and experience.
