Suedehead BarbersBarber Shop in Footscray, Victoria

Suedehead Barbers brings proper barbering to Footscray with sharp fades, solid banter, and an all-inclusive approach that welcomes everyone through the door. Established in 2019, this punk rock-inspired shop on Barkly Street is built around good vibes and quality cuts. Johnny, the head barber with 15 years under his belt, specialises in skin fades—zero fades, razor fades, and foil fades—alongside classic haircuts, buzz cuts, and beard trims.

They'll take you from long hair to short barber shop styles (though they don't do layered hairdressing cuts), with services ranging from $30 buzz cuts to $80 deluxe packages featuring hot towel and cut-throat razor work. What sets Suedehead apart is their commitment to being neurodivergent friendly and proudly welcoming queer, trans, and gender-diverse clients. It's a space where everyone belongs, backed by proper barbering skills and PMA (Positive Mental Attitude).

Open Tuesday through Saturday with varying hours—9am Saturday starts, 10:30am most other days. Located at Shop 4, 277-287 Barkly Street, they keep things straightforward: good cuts, fair prices, and a welcoming atmosphere for all.
