Pretty W place, been coming here for years now and I’ve only got like 1 bad cut out of tens or hundreds and it was still like better then the best cut I got at my old barber. I also got the best mullet from this guy who surprisingly did a really good job considering how much he told me he hates mullets. Also the hairdressers are really nice and the bloke who is the boss is honestly really skilled but yeah I would recommend. The only bad thing is my hair is so good after going here that I keep getting approached by too many fit girls after getting a haircut that I have to keep turning them down, yeah it’s hard having such a great cut. So if ur not looking to have like the best hair in Australia and get laid on the daily then I wouldn’t recommend coming here Less
As a former employee i highly recommend knucklehead barbershop. Highly skilled barbers with a relaxed atmosphere. Was a pleasure working there and would tell anyone to check it out.
Personable service, efficient, high quality haircuts and beers on offer. This establishment is easy to frequent and I trust all of the barbers to provide me with a professional cut and professional service.
Fantastic barbershop. Great atmosphere, skilled staff. Won't go anywhere else for a haircut.
Really good barbers, super friendly and do an awesome job
Great haircut. Love this place!
Great barber shop! Always happy with the fresh cut from here.
Hands down, my first choice of barbers! Consistently delivering the goods 🤘 Thanks & keep it up all!
The team turned my Sunday morning into a great time all the while making me look sharp. Warm and Friendly staff that know hair.
Awful
Been my go to for the last 1.5 years and have always been happy with the haircut from numerous different staff members. Most recent cut from the girl with the clear frame glasses (sorry, didn't ask for your name). They also open for a short time on Sundays now so it's great for those that can't make it on Saturdays.
Good lads, even better haircuts. 💯
Great price and service, had a barber from Manchester and not only did an amazing job the price was affordable and not too long of a wait. Will be back
Had a wonderful experience at the barbershop. It is located just past McDonald's on Bridge road. The barbershop is small but the vibe is excellent.

My first cut here and had a great experience, will return
The crew here is 5 stars. Great haircut every time. Beers and great conversations all round. 10/10
I’ve been to many barbers around Hawthorn/ Richmond over the years. These guys are the best by far. Always such a good from any of the barbers I’ve had and it’s a really friendly atmosphere. Highly recommend
Good and friendly service and they take their time to do the job right. Highly recommended after my time being there.
It’s always a laugh and a great vibe! Rob gives a fantastic wig chop and can’t recommend him enough. He always does an awesome job and it feels super welcoming every time I’m there. I love that it’s a walk-in venue as it means you can always squeeze in for a cut last minute.
Just moved to Richmond and got my hair and beard done. Looked great and got a free beer- great experience all round. Will be back again!
5 min haircut from the girl with long red hair. This was THE quickest haircut that I've ever had. She charged me $40 which is the most expensive haircut available on their list. My haircut is average at best. She said that she'd blow dry my hair and blend it which she didn't do. Go elsewhere for much better customer service and a decent haircut.
Awsome friendly staff that know how to cut 😁
Been looking for a good barber for a while as I work just down the street, I’m so glad I popped in for a beard trip and hair cut. I’m so happy with the work the girl done. My new barbers 😊
Best cuts in 3121
Friendly service and great cut and trim! Will be back next time I am in town. 10/10
A superstar, first time to go there Rob really did a great job and the pricing is great Looking forward to the next visit
Absolute legends, all barbers are muy bueno 👌
Great service. (Översatt av Google) Jättebra service.
Been here 5 or so times now and each time the cut is on point and the team here are always good for a chat. Recommended if you want a quality hair cut with friendly service. The shop is walk in so recommend bringing something to keep you entertained if you come on a Saturday, but has never taken me longer than 20 mins to get in.
These legends have been my barbers for the past 4 years. I haven't gone anywhere else simply because it doesn't matter who cuts your hair there, they are all very skilled at what they do.
my chemo son got his hair cut here before it all falls out! absolutely loves it. Barbers cut exactly what he asked for (Aang from the last airbender if anyone else wanted this legendary cut!)
best cut I've had in my entire life. Coming back next time for sure, keep it up!
Friendly staff, great service, not too much of a wait either
Still the best barbers in Richmond. Never going anywhere else, & a free 🍺 to relax, there is a reason why this place is busy, overflow chair upstairs, and next to Maccas 🍔
Somehow managed to walk in and get a cut during the great unlocking, lovely chat with the barber and price was fine, let's face it prices for everything need to go up to reopen. These are my new local so will be back, thanks again.
Awesome place for a cut or beard trim
Great swift chop at a fair price. Good banter with the staff - super friendly. I'll definitely be back!
Best haircut I've had!
Great cut, great chat and great atmosphere. Cheers.
Quick haircut, good job, good price
Nikiya and Rob are fantastic barbers, great banter and really care about making sure you look good leaving, would not go anywhere else in Richmond!
One of the best haircuts I’ve ever had.
I'm surprised at all the positive reviews. I'm new to the area and was looking for a nice new place to have my hair cut. I found this place to be unwelcoming and incredibly unfriendly. No "hi, how are you", no clear direction as to where to wait or where to go, no small talk, no drink (water, or the advertised beer). The barber was incredibly rude and, pardon the pun, snippy.

I'm surprised at all the positive reviews. I'm new to the area and was looking for a nice new place to have my hair cut. I found this place to be unwelcoming and incredibly unfriendly. No "hi, how are you", no clear direction as to where to wait or where to go, no small talk, no drink (water, or the advertised beer). The barber was incredibly rude and, pardon the pun, snippy. I thought he was having an off day, but he was joking with his colleagues, just ignoring me. When he said, "what are we doing with your hair then?" I said, "Can you get rid of the sides --". They were quite long but before I could really explain, he cut me off (another pun!) to say "When you say that, I'm going to take it to a 0 and shave it all off". Like what? Sorry I'm not an expert barber, obviously I don't mean "shave my head". I wanted to leave as soon as he put on the cape, and the feeling didn't go away. I was just far too awkward and embarrassed to walk out. I felt very unwanted, like I wasn't supposed to be there. I paid cash. $38. I gave him $58. Rudely, "Well, how much change is that?!". Would not recommend. I wasn't going to say anything but this was a few weeks ago and it's still upsetting. I wouldn't recommend this place at all. Less
Always very happy with my hair cut. Very friendly staff
Great little barber shop that can cater for adults and kids too. Friendly staff who know their craft well and always do a first class job. My son is always happy to go here for a cut as they are relaxed and happy to have some fun and banter. Can be a small wait but totally worth it
I took my five year old grandson to get his first hair cut ever. The service was excellent and Nakeia was fantastic with Elijah. I was so worried he would not let anyone cut his hair but Nakeia helped him through his first experience of having his hair cut.

Thankyou everyone at Knucklehead for your professionalism. I would recommend Knucklehead definitely. Less
Super attentive barbers who are always friendly and engaging.
Great price and service. Haircut and beard trim. Pleased with it, will be back.
Awesome place to get a haircut, friendly staff and service
Fantastic Barber's who give great service and are always up for a chat. Love coming here
Fantastic haircut every time. Staff are fun, always offer you a drink and throughout this testing COVID time they are ensuring all government policies and procedures are followed thoroughly. Highly Recommend.
Friendly awesome crew, they can turn your head of hair to look on fleek
Great barbers, consistently good cuts and great service.
Been going to Knucklehead for over 2 years and been extremely happy with the staff, service and location. With COVID-19 and social distancing I had my haircut upstairs by James which was a quality cut, and well done to Rob for maximising his space during these times. PS- Always love the free beer
Super easy and high quality. James cut my hair so it sits perfectly. Great service and my favourite local barber
Friendly staff. .. one of the best cuts if not the best so far.. will definitely come back.. even though I live miles away.. Thanks guys!
Brillaint haircut and service from Rob, very friendly and accommodating establishment. Lots of outdoor seating and heater when waiting for appointment
Great post COVID haircut - they have taken a number of steps including a good few meters between clients (including the upstairs) to reduce the risk. Have been coming for a couple of years and enjoy the relaxed feel to the place.
Recently moved to the area and needed a good barber. Took a chance on this place and it really paid off! Was looked after by barber James who was very knowledgeable. Even offered me a beer, though I didn't take it. Got a fade down to zero on the sides, perfect fade, and will be coming back. 👍
Great friendly service, And always a great cut. Couldn’t recommend more highly
Happy with the haircut but was put in a little bedroom upstairs for the cut which was weird. Nice staff!
Been going to Knucklehead for over 2 years now. Shoutout to Nakeia for knowing what I want every time and sorting out my DIY COVID haircut!
Have been coming here for quite a while, even after moving a few suburbs away. Drove over half an hour to get there and got turned away even though they were open for another 45 minutes. Won't be coming back here again.
Taylor was very skilled and professional. I am very happy with my haircut. She understood quickly what I was after and executed seamlessly. Highly recommended. The only bémol is that it is quite popular already and they do not take appointments so there is some wait involved possibly outside on the footpath.
Awesome service, highly recommend
Excellent price great haircut pleasant conversation
Fantastic service, friendly and experienced staff and incredibly affordable. I've personally visited many of melbourne barbershops and have to give Knucklehead the gold medal. Each visit, the staff have gone above and beyond my expectations as well as had the perfect amount of chit chat. Great atmosphere, always clean and even when it's full the wait times are minimal. Can happily recommend.
Great service and good quality staff every time I have been. 👌
Nice place , small but fast and efficient. Well done guys !
Always get a good haircut at a good price in a friendly, relaxed environment.
Got a different barber this time, probably the worst fade I've ever gotten. Shame since every barber from Knucklehead I've gotten before has been great. One side barely faded, can easily see a line. Only took 25-30mins when every single time I've had a fade takes 40+mins as he seemed to be in a rush to move onto the next customer.

Only took 25-30mins when every single time I've had a fade takes 40+mins as he seemed to be in a rush to move onto the next customer. Didn't realise how bad it was since the barber didn't use the mirror to show all the angles after cutting. Won't be back anymore. Less
Absolute professional service by all the staff Jodie did an amazing job of my hair an beard I will be back everytime I'm in Melbourne thanks guys for the great service super happy 10/10 service
The girls do a great haircut and beard cut, but they should really do bookings, and not turn regular customers away 45mins plus from closing time. Won’t be back.
Happy people cold beer and cool tunes
Quick, friendly service and great price.
So great! Good service and a great cut!
I walked in once, and then made it my barbershop of choice. The staff is very professional, super cool and laid back. I've never had an average haircut, indeed I've always walked out loving it.
Spot on
Great space for a quick cut
Fantastic place! Been going since it opened and always excellent service and cuts. Had James today he did a great job and had good banter!
I go here often and every time I get a different barber. Varies wildly though the last couple of times have been pretty good
Cold beer and a beard trim, yes please!
Just moved into the Kew area and would highly recommend Knucklehead Barber Shop to anyone, the best hair cut I have ever had. Rob and the team do a great job and offer great service, I will be back again !!!
I used to come here until one Sunday, 1:30 PM was turned away, not very politely I might add, as “they were done for the day”. As per their website, they close at 2:00 PM. Suggest changing your opening hours then, if the staff can’t be bothered to do their full shift. You’ve lost a customer.
Too many transient backpacker barbers which is annoying. Not had a bad cut there though.
Been in twice to see Jacob for a trim. Left very happy with his work on both occasions. Really recommend this place.
Great service, great cut. Highly recommend. I've already got my mates going for cuts.
Rob and the team are awesome! Quality cuts, advice and all round great convo. I'm a local and have been getting my cut and fade every few weeks for the past two years here. Never disappointed! Highly recommend both Richmond and their second store recently opened in Kew.
New Kew shop is a winner for me. Went for a quick beard trim and the service and result was terrific. Not sure what the gripe of the 1 star beard trim reviewer below is, try it again, I reckon they know what they're doing!
Great cut, really appreciate the quality and service!
Always a fantastic experience with the team @Knuckleheads ! Rob, Steph and Nikia provide not only a great cut but always with a good yarn and a cold beer 👌👌
Went into the Kew shop, had a great hair cut. Awesome experience. Walked out feeling fresher than ever! ✂️😁
New Kew location is a winner. Great banter and a great cut! Thanks!
Came in for a beard trim and haircut....AMAZING! Speedy service.....one of the best beard trim / haircuts I have received to date. To top it off the free beer was a nice touch 👌🏻 Not sure about all these recent ghost reviews...I can only assume someone’s worried about their competition.........
Went to the Kew location. In my opinion , no hair cut is worth 38 dollars, regardless of the skill and attention. lower the price.
Took my son, Claud, in for a pre Easter luncheon tidy up and was thrilled with the result. The staff are incredibly skilled at what they do. Will be back
Just moved to the area and happy to say I have found my new barber!
Was looking for a new barber in the area when I came across Nakeia at knucklehead. She did an excellent job with my fade and beard trim. I walked out feeling fresh and would recommend their services.
Went for a haircut and beard trim. The woman there obviously doesn't know how to cut mens hair, or trim a beard. If you do want a beard trim and edges, you have to wait for one of the other barbers. And that could be hours. Would be great if she knew what she was doing.
Good quality hair cuts at a good price with really easy to talk to people.
Friendly staff, great cut!
Exceptional attention to detail with friendly welcoming staff. Will be back again
Love this place. Good vibe on top of a professional service.
Been looking for a quality barbers for a while. And I think I've just found one. Great service, very warm and friendly staff. Had an all scissors cut, done very skillfully with great attention to detail. My barber took his time, was engaged and really understood how I liked my hair cut. Price is not cheap but reasonable for the quality. Great place!
Down to earth and great to talk to. Absolutely excellent haircut. Highly recommend!
Rocking music and cuts. Icey cold beer doesn't hurt either
Quality haircut. They listen to what you want, and cut it accordingly. Great banter too 👍 thanks knucklehead.
Walk ins only. I got recommended to go to knucklehead by a friend and wasn't disappointed. Friendly skillful service. Can't ask for more
Alway friendly staff. Sometimes there is a wait. Usually pretty quick though.
專業的理髮師 👍
Simply great
Reasonably priced for the superb quality, good barbers. Note they dont do appointments.
Now my go to barber in Richmond. Never disappointed walking out of this barbershop
Great friendly staff that give a warm welcome on entry. Cool relaxed atmosphere without being over the top. The barbers (barberess?) Listen to what you would like and are happy to offer advice if what you asked for won't actually suit your head. Great place.
Awesome service and very happy with the advice, cut and beard trim given by Nakeia!! Always good ta talk and hava laugh while gettin the hair taken care of!! Coming down from QLD you guys didn’t disappoint.... Thanks heaps!!
Nice staff
I've been to too many barbershops before finding Knucklehead. The atmosphere, professional service and positive attitudes in there are exactly what I was looking for! Haircuts are on point 100% 👌
Well at first the $38 hair cut price scared me. So, I went to a couple of other places, and yeah... I am now a regular client. Staff is attentive, willing to listen what you want, and prepared to make changes if you are not happy with final result. You can have a steam ale mountain goat while they do the grooming. The only reason for not giving then 5 stars is the price.
Awesome shop and great cut!
Shout-out these fellows for putting my music on in there shop
Great place free beer serverd if you want
Best barbershop in Melbourne!
Quality atmosphere, great beer and awesoem cuts
Always a great atmosphere, the guys are super nice and helpful, never disappointed 👍
After a previous barber managed to give the worst cut of my life, I swung into Knucklehead to see if they could fix things up. I was pleasantly surprised at the sympathetic and detailed approach on how we could resolve things. I'm in a debt of gratitude! Will be referring all there.
Thanks to Rob & the team. Always a great experience. Highly recommend
Great haircut, nice staff, good price
Awesome Barbershop! Been here several times and tried out a couple different barbers only to find that they’re all fantastic. They always provide a free beer which is amazing because the price of the haircut is extremely affordable for all that you’re getting.
Staff are great and always a good cut. Cheap too for Richmond
One word "FANTASTIC", somehow made this raggedy kid look like a million dollars
Great group of barbers who are very friendly. Would recommend to anyone without hesitation.
Great cuts,great music,great chat!
Friendly staff the do a fantastic haircut.
Good boys and good cuts. Like the beers.
