The Hooligans standard by the numbers

We skip the vague promises and focus on what actually matters. Here’s the standard you can expect every time you sit in our chair.

On Time

Your Booked Time, Respected

Curly cuts need proper scissor time, so we book them in properly. Book your time. We’ll do our best to keep you on schedule.

Precision Cuts

Designed To Grow Out Well

We cut curls with their natural spring in mind and take out bulk where it builds up. That way the shape stays balanced as it grows, instead of going wide.

5.0 Stars

Average Google Review Rating

Blokes with all kinds of curls trust us with their hair, and our rating shows it. We know curly hair takes more than a quick run with the clippers.

Our specialty

Finding a Barber Who Gets Curls Is Hard

Curls Are Our Thing

Our crew works with curly hair every day, from loose waves to tight coils and Afro hair. You won't need to explain how your curls behave.

Time for Scissor Work

Curls need careful scissor work, not a quick clipper job. We book enough time to get the shape and balance right.

A Reliable Result

We use the same approach each visit, so your cut comes out consistent. Tell us what worked and we'll build on it.

Sick of Curly Cuts That Go Wrong?

Curly hair hides nothing when it’s cut badly. A barber who doesn’t get curls can leave you with a shape you’ll be fighting for weeks.

The Triangle Shape

The top sits flat and the sides puff out, giving you that dreaded triangle. It happens when bulk isn’t taken out in the right places.

Cut Way Too Short

Curls shrink as they dry, so a barber who cuts them like straight hair takes off far too much. You walk out with less hair than you wanted.

Frizz and No Definition

The wrong technique roughs up your curls and leaves them fuzzy and shapeless. A good curly cut keeps the curl pattern together.

We get it

Your Curls Aren't the Problem

If you’ve been told your hair is ‘hard to cut’, we get it. The problem is usually a barber who doesn’t know curls, not your hair. We built this shop so a great curly cut is the standard, not a happy accident.

Our ideal client

A Curly Haircut for Men That Works With Your Texture

We look at your curl pattern before we cut and shape the hair the way it naturally falls. That means less fighting with your hair in the morning. Precision cuts designed to grow out well, not just look good on day one.

Your curls, your way

Build Your Perfect Curly Hair Men Haircut

Every set of curls is different, so we tailor the cut to you. These are the main curly styles we build, dialled in for your curl type and routine.

Short Curls With a Fade

Curls on top with a skin fade or taper on the sides. It’s a sharp, low-maintenance short curly hair men haircut that shows off your texture while keeping the sides clean.

  • Curls on top
  • Skin fade or taper
  • Clean, sharp sides
  • Low-maintenance style

Medium Curly Scissor Cut

A scissor cut that keeps more length and balances the shape all over. We take out bulk so your curls sit nicely rather than puffing out.

  • Scissors all over
  • Bulk removed carefully
  • Balanced, natural shape
  • Defined curls

Longer Curls, Shaped

For blokes growing their curls out. We shape the length so it falls properly and grows without going wide or heavy.

  • Keeps your length
  • Shape without bulk
  • Easier grow-out
  • Tidy around the edges
Our 4-step process

How We Craft Your Curly Hair Men Haircut

No guesswork and no rush. Here’s how we look after your curls, from the first chat to the final style.

The Chat

We have a proper talk about the look you're after and how your curls behave day to day. We'll look at your curl pattern, density and head shape.

The Cut

We cut with your curls' natural shrink and spring in mind, using precise scissor work and clippers where needed. Every section is checked so the shape stays balanced.

The Detail Work

We clean up the fade or neckline and refine the shape around the edges. Then we check it from every angle.

The Style & Handover

We style your cut and show you how to get the same result at home. We'll recommend the right products to keep your curls defined.

Your Curly Haircut Questions, Answered

If your question isn’t here, give us a call on 0426 693 033 and we’ll help you out.

How long does a curly hair men haircut take?

If your curly cut is mostly scissor work, book a Scissor Cut, which takes around 50 mins. If you want faded sides, book a Fade, which takes around 40 to 45 mins. Both give us time for a proper chat and a careful cut.

Both the Scissor Cut and the Fade start from $60. Pick the Scissor Cut for curls shaped all over, or the Fade for curls on top with faded sides. All pricing shows when you book online.

Yes. Our team works with all kinds of curly hair, from loose waves to tight coils and Afro hair. You won’t need to explain the quirks of your curls, we already get it.

We do short curly cuts with a skin fade or taper, medium scissor cuts and longer, shaped looks. During your consult, we’ll help you pick the style that suits your face and makes the most of your curls.

A short curly cut with a taper or fade is the most popular choice. It keeps the sides clean while your curls do the talking on top. We’ll set the length on top to suit your curl pattern.

Most blokes with curls rebook every 3 to 5 weeks, depending on the style. Shorter cuts with a fade need more regular visits to keep the sides clean. Longer curly styles can go a bit longer between cuts.
