If you know you need a men’s haircut but are not sure which style suits you, that is exactly what the consultation at the start of every appointment is for. Pat Barber runs a private appointment only studio in Springvale where every cut starts with a conversation, not a guess. Whether you bring a reference photo or just a rough idea, the result is shaped around your hair type and what actually works for you.
This section is for clients who want a clear idea of what is available before booking. Each style below has its own page with more detail if you want to explore further.
Cleaner around the sides and neckline with a more natural finish compared to a skin fade. A strong option if you want something sharp that still grows out well. Low taper styles are especially popular right now. You can explore taper fade options.
Built around how your hair naturally sits and moves. Ideal for wavy, curly, and thicker hair types where structure and balance matter more than just length. See how a textured cut is shaped.

Pat has worked across a wide range of hair types throughout his career. Straight, wavy, curly, coarse, thick, and fine. Growing up in Malaysia and working across south east Melbourne means the range of hair textures he sees every week is broad.
Asian hair in particular behaves differently under clippers. The density and growth pattern require a different approach to achieve a clean finish. This is something handled consistently, not occasionally.
If you have had past experiences where your hair was not handled properly, it is worth bringing that up during your consultation. You can also read more about Pat’s background.
Pricing can vary depending on hair length and the complexity of the style. A beard trim can be added to your appointment if needed. You can see how a beard trim is done.
