The Barber's Son GlenferrieBarber Shop in Hawthorn, Victoria

The Barber's Son Glenferrie runs as a proper family operation in Hawthorn, delivering the kind of straight-up barbering that keeps regulars coming back every fortnight. This crew knows their craft – when they're switched on, they deliver quality cuts that'll have you walking out satisfied. The team includes skilled barbers like Chad, Max, and Damien, who's particularly good with teenage clients.

Damien's got that knack for keeping young blokes comfortable in the chair while chatting about sport and school between snips. The family-run vibe means you'll get to know the team, and they'll remember how you like your cut. Fair warning though – consistency can be hit and miss depending on which barber you get and when you catch them.

Some customers rave about their experience, calling it their favourite spot in town, while others have walked out less than impressed. The atmosphere's generally relaxed, but make sure your barber's focused on your head rather than whatever's on the telly. If you're after a no-frills neighbourhood barber with genuine local character, it's worth giving them a crack.

Just maybe avoid the bloke who gets too distracted by the footy.
