Jameister Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 Does anyone know any good Barbers in and around the Perth area or specifically near Ridgewood? I used to pay $20 in Sydney for a good cut in decent Barbers but in Perth it seems the going rate is $30, which personally I think is over priced and another 'let's jump on the WA bandwagon prices'.

stu4668 Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 I got some clippers and will trim it for you for $10 :smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jameister Posted June 11, 2014 Author Share Posted June 11, 2014 I have found that prices range from $15 - 30 so it seems there's quite a market, but what Barbers are actually any good? Does anyone have any good experience from decent Barber? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone have any good experience from decent Barber? I find the difference between a bad haircut and a good one is about 3 days. Go to one of the smaller shopping malls around and there is usually a hairdresser or barber in one of those for about $15 tops. My wife usually cuts mine and quite honestly, when you go to the hairdressers they just ask you what number you want and then, if you're lucky trim up the edges with a pair of scissors and maybe shave your neck. It's all over in about 15 minutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul1Perth Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 $15 for my son and $18 for the OH. How much for you QSS? My wife goes to Maurice Meade. When I found out I asked her "can't you find a more expensive one". I guess she couldn't or she would have gone there I'm sure. Must be over a $100 a trip.:cry: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MovingtoTasmania Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 When I come to Perth, I am open on Sundays for haircuts. I currently do my OH's and my sons, can do shaping etc. I'm not qualified but I'll give it a go and if it all goes horribly wrong, well it's only hair and it'll grow back. My husband's hair grows very quickly so I do his every fortnight. Son's hair whenever he wants it done. I'm becoming quite an expert actually..... @Que Sera, Sera I also trim the daughters hair and can do it straight now :laugh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Si T Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 A friend of mine owns DavidLee Hairdressing in Woodvale. Not sure about women's prices but I pay about $25. Possibly mates rates but never asked. It depends what kind of cut you want really. If you just want a short back and sides with no fuss then go to one of the chains and go through the conveyor belt. I prefer to have my hair washed etc and so am willing to pay the extra. It doesn't make the cut any better but I just prefer it that way. I used to go to a similar place at home and paid more than I pay here. He plays for the same football team as me and all the players and our kids go there along with a number of our wives. If he wasn't any good then I am sure the girls wouldn't go there. My own wife goes to a girl in Mindarie who works from home and is very reasonably priced. I think she pays $30 for a cut and blow dry. Can get the details of either depending what you are looking for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jameister Posted July 29, 2014 Author Share Posted July 29, 2014 Salon Express Subiaco - $16 and the guy does a great haircut. After reading ALL the negative reviews of this place, I think I'll avoid. If only I could of brought my Barber from London over to Perth . So after much trial and error I think I will just have to swallow up the extra WA Surcharge of hairdressing prices (just like everything else here) and take it that around the $30 does seem the average.

Goochie Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 I'm in Mindarie and have tried most of the Barber shops in the shopping centres and a few more too. The best by far both in terms of coats and quality is the Sweeny barber shop in Clarkson, on Marmion avenue near KFC and subway. I find that, as with the UK, it depends a lot on the individual cutting your hair rather than the place itself. I've been to the Sweeny 4-5 times now and by chance got the same girl each time so perhaps its just here that's good? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have also been to the Sweeny and it seems the 2 times I've been there it's been a good cut and that was by 2 different people. All the others I've tried have been pretty poor. Was just thinking about other options but after getting a quote from Guys Grooming for $60 + think I'll go back to Sweeny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goochie Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 There is one in Kinross that advertises with little signs on the Marmion Ave. roundabouts "Baber shop $12" - Dont bother going there. I know it's cheap but it was the worst hair cut I've ever had, done by a guy who spent the whole time chatting, laughing and joking with his mates in their native language. He stank too.
