Negative experience: I came on time for my booking but was ditched by my senior barber. No air conditioning on hot days despite having same price with other barbershops.

Daniel S Published on Google 3 years ago

Negative experience: I walked in, asked if they had any free barbers for a quick fade, the guy at the desk confirmed with a barber that he’d be free. I waited 20 minutes then that guy said now he was off. Unbelievably rude. I wasted 30 minutes total just to be told they never had any availabilities… what a joke of a business. Avoid this place.

ZironNZ Published on Google 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Good atmosphere. Kinda place you expect when you think "Barbershop". Crews all friendly.

Rupert Jones Published on Google 3 years ago

Negative experience: i booked a haircut with one of their senior barbers. showed him a photo of what i wanted and explained it very well. i left with a poorly blended haircut. it looked like i had a beanie on when i left the shop. overall they are not very consistent. the barbers name was thomas.

Jason Pegley Published on Google 4 years ago

Negative experience: Very Disappointed. My teenage son went in on the morning of Saturday the 21st of May to be told to hurry up as the barber was running late. He didn't cut his hair as asked and was rushed into explaining what he wanted. He also has a big red mark on the back of his neck from the clippers. Myself and my two sons have all gone to MFB but we won't be back.

Fantastic experience: Went in today for my first cut in 2 years. My hair was very long and just wanted to cut it medium length. The barber said that it wasn’t really his speciality but he’ll give it go. He did a great job and will definitely be going back there for my next cut.

Fantastic experience: ***Posting for my partner* went there for my first time yesterday. My partner sat in there waiting while I got my hair done. We absolutely loved it there. Made us feel welcome me & my barber had yarns like we had known eachother for years! He even fixed up my beard for free (while partner was giving me thumbs up in the background!) Environment bloody awesome & sounds groovy as! We will both definitely be back. Partner said "she is not your rehab" t-shirts made her feel more welcoming even though she wasn't getting her hair done she felt included also. Can't rate this crew high enough!!! Massive respects

Keri Grant Published on Google 4 years ago

Reuben Palenski Published on Google 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: Been going to these guys for about a year now and do not regret making the switch from my old barber store. They have a friendly and welcoming team of guys that make you feel right at home while you get an excellent haircut. They all really seem to take pride in their work and I always leave feeling like a million bucks. Fair to say ive had some great yarns with the guys there as well. Could not recommend more!

Fantastic experience: I cannot rate this place highly enough! I brought my two year old in today for his first haircut. I wish I could remember the name of the amazing barber who did his hair. He was so patient and kind. He did such and amazing job, even though it was a real struggle to do. The whole team was so welcoming, thanks so much we will be back (sorry hopefully he's a better client next time ;).

Agnelo Chandra Published on Google 6 years ago

Positive experience: My Barber was very proffesional, did an amazing job with my long thinning hair. The atmosphere was friendly, and the place was very clean. I would highly recommend these awesome talented barbers. Sadly due to current health restrictions i couldn't get my beard done this time, but hopefully soon in the future. I would give it 5 stars but when i had to pay i found it was expensive, its not that the price was unreasonable its just that i was used to $15 to $20 cheap cuts so i wasn't prepared mentaly for the $70 bill. Again i would like to say it was worth it
