Kevin is probably the most chill and smoothest barber I’ve been too!! Constantly has me lined up good and keeps me coming back
The Hooligans standard by the numbers
We skip the fluffy promises and focus on what matters. Every pompadour is shaped to you, but here’s the standard you can expect each visit.
Your Booked Time, Respected
A pompadour needs proper scissor time, so we book it in properly. Book your time. We’ll do our best to keep you on schedule.
Designed To Grow Out Well
We shape the top in layers so it lifts and sweeps back without a fight. As it grows, the shape softens gradually instead of collapsing.
Average Google Review Rating
Our rating comes from blokes who keep coming back. We give a classic pompadour the same attention as the freshest fade on the books.

Time to Do It Properly
We set aside enough time for the scissor work a pompadour needs. You're not squeezed in between two quick clipper jobs.
Skilled With All Hair
Thick, wavy, fine or coarse, our crew works with every texture. That includes Afro, Asian and European hair, so you won't hear 'we don't cut that'.
A Consistent Shape
We use the same structure each time, so your pompadour looks the same visit after visit. If you want to change the height, we'll adjust from there.
Sick of a Pompadour That Won't Hold?
A pompadour lives or dies on the cut underneath. Get the top wrong and no amount of product will save it.
You blow-dry it, add product and it still drops by midday. The front was never cut to lift, so the height has nothing to sit on.
The top looks fine but the sides puff out and make your head look wide. A pompadour needs tight, tidy sides so the top stands out.
Too much length up front, too little at the crown, or a shape that doesn’t suit your face. It looks off and takes forever to style.
Styling Shouldn't Be a Daily Battle
If you’re fighting your hair every morning, the problem is usually the cut, not you. A well-built pompadour should do most of the work for you. That’s exactly what we’re here to sort out.
A Pompadour for Blokes Who Like a Classic Look
We’re not trying to be the fastest shop in town. We’re here for guys who want a classic style done properly and care how they turn up. If that’s you, you’ll fit right in.
This is your spot if you’re:
For the bloke who loves a timeless, swept-back look.
For the bloke whose hair always ends up bulky and hard to control.
For the bloke who wants a sharp shape that styles in minutes.
For the bloke ready to move on from a basic short back and sides.
The Details That Make a Pompadour Work
A great pompadour comes down to getting the small things right. We balance the length from front to crown, keep the sides tidy and take out bulk where it weighs the top down. The result is a shape that’s easier to style and grows out well.
Build Your Perfect Pompadour Haircut
Every head of hair is different, so we tailor the shape to you. These are the main pompadour styles we build, dialled in for your hair type and routine.
The Classic Pompadour
Longer on top with plenty of height, swept up and back with a smooth finish. The sides are kept short and neat with scissors or a taper. It’s the traditional look done properly.
- Full height up front
- Smooth, swept-back finish
- Neat, tidy sides
- Medium to strong hold
The Short Pompadour
All the shape of a classic pompadour with less length to manage. It’s quicker to style in the morning and suits blokes who want a tidy, office-friendly look.
- Less length on top
- Quick to style
- Office-friendly shape
- Works with finer hair
Pompadour With Faded Sides
We pair the top with a skin fade or taper on the sides and back. The contrast makes the height stand out and gives it a modern edge.
- Modern, high-contrast look
- Skin fade or taper
- Height really stands out
- Regular side touch-ups
How We Build Your Pompadour Haircut
No guesswork and no rush. Here’s how we get your pompadour right, from the first chat to the final styling tips.
Map Your Style
We start with a proper chat about the look you want, your hair type and your morning routine. We'll look at your head shape and face to set the right height and length.
Shape the Sides
We cut the sides and back first, with scissors, a taper or a fade. Tight, tidy sides let the pompadour on top stand out.
Build the Top
This is where the real work happens. We cut the top in layers with precise scissor work, taking out bulk so the hair lifts and sweeps back easily.
Style & Know-How
We blow-dry and style it with the right product, then show you how to do it at home. You'll leave knowing how to get the same shape every morning.

Your Pompadour 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 pompadour haircut take?
If you’re keeping scissors on the sides, 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 precise cut.
How much does a pompadour haircut cost?
Both the Scissor Cut and the Fade start from $60. Pick the Scissor Cut for a classic scissor finish, or the Fade if you want skin or tapered sides. All pricing shows when you book online.
What's the difference between a pompadour and a quiff?
A pompadour is swept up and back over the head for a smooth, rounded shape. A quiff is brushed forward and then up, so it has more of a flick at the front. We can help you pick the one that suits your face and style.
How often should I get my pompadour touched up?
Most regulars rebook every 3 to 4 weeks. That keeps the sides tidy and the proportions balanced as the top grows. If you’ve got faded sides, you might want to come in a bit sooner.
What product do I need for a pompadour?
A medium to strong hold pomade is your best bet for a slick, classic finish. For a more textured, modern look, try a clay or styling powder. We’ll recommend the right product for your hair before you leave.
Will a short pompadour work for my hair type?
Pompadours are easiest with straight or wavy hair because it sweeps back naturally. Curly hair can work too, but it needs a slightly different approach. We’ll give you honest advice during your consult.
