Duke's Barbershop zetlandBarber Shop in Zetland, New South Wales

Duke's Barbershop Zetland delivers solid cuts in the heart of this inner-Sydney suburb. The shop runs a traditional walk-in system where you queue up and get whoever's available next – no bookings, just turn up and wait your turn. The team includes skilled barbers like MD and Moayad, who've built loyal followings for their attention to detail and ability to nail exactly what you're after.

Isha gets particular praise for his scissor work and professional approach. These blokes take their time to listen and execute clean, sharp results. However, consistency can be hit-and-miss depending on which barber you land.

Some customers report varying experiences between different team members, with occasional unprofessional behaviour and inconsistent pricing that's ranged between $45-48 for standard cuts. The conversational atmosphere works well when you click with your barber, but can feel off when staff dynamics aren't right. For locals who find the right barber here, it becomes their regular spot.

Others prefer to travel further for more reliable service. The shop's been operating for over a year and serves the growing Zetland community, though the quality of your experience largely depends on timing and which chair you end up in.
