Recently had all of my long hair cut off by Phill and couldn't be happier with the result. Phill is a legend and an unreal barber, the boys are welcoming and the shop is a vibe. Highly recommend

Your Questions Answered
Got a question? We’ve got answers. Here are a few common ones. If you need anything else, just give us a yell.
What exactly is a bowl cut?+
A bowl cut, in its simplest form, is a haircut where the front hair is cut in a straight fringe, and the rest of the hair follows that same length around the head. The modern version is way different, though. We use texturising tricks to create a lighter, more layered look that's stylish and practical, not just a heavy block of hair.
Will a bowl cut actually look good on me?+
We get it, you're picturing your Year 5 school photo. Relax. The modern bowl cut is about structure and texture. During the chat, we'll check out your head shape, hair type, and hairline. We adapt the fringe length and internal layers to work for you. We're honest too; if we think a different cut would be better, we'll tell you.
Can I get a bowl cut if I have curly hair?+
Yes, but it's a different approach. A bowl cut on curly hair is less about a sharp, straight line and more about creating a defined, rounded shape that works with your curls. We don't fight the texture, we use it. We cut it to control the volume and make sure the bowl shape looks deliberate and stylish, not just unruly.
What's the difference between a classic bowl cut and a modern bowl cut?+
A classic bowl cut is usually all one length with a heavy, blunt fringe. Think Moe Howard. A modern bowl cut, on the other hand, has some tricks. We use techniques like texturising and layering on top to take out the weight, creating a softer style that has movement. The fringe might be less severe, too. It's the difference between a costume and a real haircut.
Is this a low-maintenance hairstyle?+
Yes, when it's cut right, a bowl cut is a really practical and low-maintenance hairstyle. Because we focus on building a strong shape that grows out well, you won't have to fight it every morning. A little bit of product is usually all it takes to look sharp.
How often should I get my bowl cut trimmed?+
Because we cut the hair to grow out properly, you'll find the shape holds for a solid 4 to 6 weeks. Most of our clients book in around that timeframe to keep it looking sharp. You won't get that messy, overgrown look after just two weeks.
Can you handle my thick or Asian hair?+
Absolutely. Our team is diverse and we know how to cut all hair types, from thick and coarse Asian hair to Afro hair and everything in between. We're not a one-trick pony. We've got the skills to make sure the cut works for your specific hair texture.
How long will my appointment take?+
A bowl cut is a technical scissor cut, so we allocate about an hour for it. This gives us plenty of time to consult with you properly, cut it right, and show you how to style it. We never rush a haircut out the door.
Why are you appointment-only?+
We respect your time. Nobody wants to finish work and spend 45 minutes sitting in a queue waiting for a chair. With our model, you book your spot, walk in at that time, and sit straight down. It's a better experience for everyone.
Do you accept walk-ins?+
No, we don't. Our appointment system ensures that the person in the chair gets our undivided attention without any pressure to hurry up for the next person in line. It allows us to stick to our "Never Rushed" policy.
What if I don't know exactly what style I want?+
That's no problem at all. We always start with a proper chat to figure out what you're after and what will suit your hair and head shape. We can give you honest advice and help you land on a style you'll actually love.
Can I bring a picture for reference?+
Please do. A picture is a great starting point for our conversation and helps us get on the same page quickly. It gives us a clear idea of the vibe you're going for, and we can adapt it to suit you perfectly.
How do you avoid the "helmet" look?+
The "helmet" look comes from leaving too much weight in the hair. Our main trick is 'texturising' or 'point cutting' into the top sections. This takes out bulk from the inside of the hair without changing the length you see. It lets the hair sit more softly and creates movement, which gets rid of that heavy, solid look.
How much does a bowl cut cost?+
A bowl cut falls under our "Scissor Cut" service, which starts from $50. All our prices are listed transparently on our booking page, so you know exactly what to expect before you even walk in the door.
What products do you recommend for styling?+
It depends on the look you want. For a textured, natural look, a styling powder is great for adding volume. If you want something a bit more polished, we might recommend a light pomade. The main thing is, we'll show you exactly how to use it before you leave.
Can you do a fade with a bowl cut?+
Yep, that's a popular modern take on the style. We can keep the classic bowl shape on top and combine it with a sharp skin fade on the back and sides. It's a great way to get a clean, high-contrast look.
What's the vibe like in the shop?+
It's super laid-back. We're not a quiet, sterile salon. We're the kind of place where you can come in, have a laugh, and chat about anything. It's a comfortable space for anyone to hang out and get a great haircut.
Do you also cut kids' hair?+
We do. We have a "Little Hooligans" service for kids under 12. We're patient and know how to make sure the little guys feel comfortable and leave with a style they (and you) are happy with.
What if I'm running late for my appointment?+
Just give us a call to let us know. We have a small grace period, but because our schedule is booked back-to-back, being more than 10 minutes late might mean we have to reschedule. This is to make sure we don't impact the next client's appointment time.
Who are the owners?+
The shop is owned and run by us, Kevin Tran and Yonase Tamiru. We're in the shop cutting hair every day, so you'll be dealing directly with the guys who own the place and care about giving you a great bowl cut.
More than just bowl cuts
Skin fades for the sharpest look possible, beard trims and line ups for the perfect finish, and money-saving combos for the best value.
