The Hooligans standard by the numbers

We skip the vague promises and focus on what actually matters. Every head is different, but here’s what you can count on every time you book a long buzz cut with us.

On Time

Your Booked Time, Respected

Your long buzz cut gets its own slot in the book, about 20 mins start to finish. We’re appointment-only and do our best to keep you on schedule.

Precision Cuts

Designed To Grow Out Well

We run the clippers in several directions so every section is the same length. That’s how it grows out evenly instead of going fuzzy in spots.

5.0 Stars

Average Google Review Rating

Our rating comes down to consistency. A simple buzz gets the same care from us as a detailed fade.

The Hooligans difference

What You Get Every Time You Sit Down

A Quick, Sharp Cut

A long buzz cut takes us about 20 mins. We get you looking sharp without eating into your whole arvo.

An Even Length All Over

We check every section so nothing gets missed. It grows out clean and tidy, not patchy.

A Mirror Check Before You Go

We look it over with you before you leave the chair. If something needs a tweak, we sort it on the spot.

The usual problem

Why Most Buzz Cuts Look Messy in a Week

It seems like a simple cut, but a botched one is impossible to hide. It’s the kind of cut that has you reaching for a cap until it grows back.

Uneven and Patchy

You walk out with patchy spots and uneven lengths because the barber rushed the job. On a buzz cut, there’s nowhere for those to hide.

The Wrong Guard Length

The barber just goes for it without asking what guard you want. You end up far shorter than you expected, and it takes weeks to get the length back.

A Rushed, Messy Neckline

A lazy finish around the neck and ears makes the whole cut look cheap. After a couple of days it already looks overdue.

We get it

It's Not You, It's the Lack of Care

If that sounds familiar, the problem isn’t your hair. It’s barbers who treat a buzz cut like a five-minute job. We built this spot so every cut, even the simplest, gets the time and precision it deserves.

Who it's for

For Blokes Who Want a Clean Look Without the Fuss

A long buzz cut is about as low-maintenance as it gets, as long as it’s done properly. We keep it even, keep the edges tidy and send you off with a cut you don’t have to style. That’s the whole point.

This cut is perfect for:

The Active Bloke

For the bloke who trains, sweats and needs hair that’s sorted after a quick towel.

The Low-Maintenance Man

For the bloke who wants to look sharp without touching a product.

Anyone Sick of Patchy Cuts

For the bloke who’s fed up with uneven lengths and missed spots.

Guys Wanting a Fresh Start

For the bloke ready to take the length off and start clean.

Quality over quantity

We're Not a Haircut Factory

Our shop is a place where real craft and good chats come standard. We don’t churn through chairs. We take pride in every cut, from a long buzz cut to a detailed fade, and in the local crew we’ve built.

Your cut, your way

Build Your Perfect Long Buzz Cut

Every head is different, so we don’t do one-size-fits-all. Here are the main ways we set up a long buzz cut, dialled in for your hair and head shape.

The Classic Long Buzz

One longer guard all over, usually a number 4 or more, for an even length that still shows some hair. It’s the long buzz cut men ask for most and the easiest to look after. We finish it with a tidy neckline and clean edges.

  • One guard all over
  • Even length front to back
  • Tidy neckline and edges
  • Lowest maintenance option

Long on Top, Shorter Sides

We keep the longer guard on top and step the sides and back down a couple of numbers. It’s a buzz cut long on top with a bit more shape. Great if you want the buzz look without it feeling flat.

  • Longer guard on top
  • Shorter sides and back
  • Blended, no hard step
  • Adds shape to your head

Long Buzz With a Fade

We fade the sides and back down from your top length for a sharper finish around the ears and neck. It’s a more modern take on the classic. This one books as a Fade, as the blend takes more time.

  • Faded sides and back
  • Sharper outline
  • Works on any texture
  • Books as a Fade
Our 4-step process

How We Get Your Long Buzz Cut Right

No mystery and no runaround. Here’s the game plan from booking to the mirror check.

Book Your Spot Online

Grab a time that works for you online. Book your time. We'll do our best to keep you on schedule.

We Plan Your Cut

We have a proper chat about the length you're after before the clippers come out. If you're not sure on a guard number, we'll talk you through the options and help you pick.

We Craft Your Cut

We go over your head in several directions with the same guard so every section is even. Then we tidy the edges, the neckline and around the ears.

The Final Touches

We check it with you in the mirror, front, sides and back. We'll also tell you when to come back and how to keep it tidy at home.

Your Long Buzz Cut Questions, Answered

If your question isn’t here, give us a call on 0426 693 033.

What guard length is a long buzz cut?

Most long buzz cuts sit at a number 4 or longer, which leaves visible length without needing any styling. The right number depends on your hair density and head shape. We’ll talk it through with you before we start.

A buzz cut all over is $25 and takes about 20 mins. If you want the sides faded, book a Fade instead, from $60. Add your beard with Buzz Cut & Beard, from $40.

Yep. With long hair, we take the bulk off first so the clippers cut clean and even. It’s a big change, so we’ll check the guard length with you before we do the main cut.

Most clients with this style come back every 3 to 4 weeks to keep the edges clean. A longer guard is forgiving, and we cut it to grow out well, so a few extra days won’t hurt.

Yes. Our crew works with every hair type, from thick and coarse to fine, curly and Afro hair. We adjust the guard and cutting direction to suit how your hair grows.

That’s what the chat at the start is for. We’ll give you honest advice based on your hair type and head shape. You can always start longer and go shorter, but never the other way.
