Ikigai Barbers

Sam is one of a kind. As an Asian visiting from Germany, I haven’t had a proper haircut for a very long time. Here at Ikigai I rediscovered the joy of having my hair cut properly. I tend not to style my hair but Sam taught me a technique to make my hair shine without much effort. I’m so glad I bumped into Ikigai yesterday and I highly recommend him and his team to anyone who wants a great haircut at the heart of the city✌🏻

I recently had the pleasure of visiting Ikigai Barbers, and I must say that my experience with Sam was truly exceptional. Sam's talent as a barber is nothing short of remarkable. He gave me an incredible fade haircut, and his attention to detail was unparalleled. From the moment I sat in the chair, Sam made sure to understand exactly what I wanted. He was patient and attentive, ensuring that every aspect of my haircut was to my liking. Throughout the entire process, I could tell that Sam was not just cutting hair but crafting a work of art. The fade that Sam created was flawless, with perfectly blended transitions and clean lines. He took his time to make sure everything was precise, and the end result was outstanding. I left the salon feeling more confident than ever with my fresh haircut. Aside from his remarkable skills, Sam's friendly and professional demeanor added to the overall positive experience. He made me feel comfortable and engaged in friendly conversation, which made the time fly by. I highly recommend Sam at Ikigai Barbers to anyone looking for an exceptional haircut experience. His talent, attention to detail, and commitment to customer satisfaction truly set him apart. I'll definitely be returning to Ikigai Barbers for my future grooming needs. Sam has earned a loyal customer in me.

Sam is a great person, definitely the best barber I’ve come to since moving back from Gold Coast. When I came to Sam, my fade and lineup was destroyed. Once I left Sam for the first time I was very happy with the outcome and have been going back to him every week since. The team around him is great too, All have good conversation and make me feel welcome. Definitely recommend Ikigai Barbers to everyone.

I'm very pleased with my experience at Ikigai Barbers everytime. Sam is really passionate about his job. He always comes with good advices helping my hair look best. Simply loving it. See you soon!

I've been to many barbershops throughout Melbourne and the first thing you notice is the setup, always a warm welcome from the boys with complimentary drinks. If you can find a spot with Chris you're set to have a very very nice fade. You’re sure to get a quality and attentive service from all barbers, so booking or choosing a barber won’t be an issue because I guarantee you’ll be taken care of and be left with a massive confidence boost by the end of it. Love Ikigai Barbers!

Don't usually write reviews but my experience at Ikigai barbers was just exceptional! I got a great mix of professionalism, humor and comfort. Felt like taking to a friend although I just met Sam when I got to the shop. Great place to get a haircut with passionate creativity of the barbers. When I'm in Melbourne again, I'll come by for sure!

Just have to say Chris is absolutely the best l! I have wanted a certain hair style for so long but no one has ever been able to do it! I will always go to Chris for my look! Thank you Chris you are very talented and I’m so glad I have found my barber
