Adilla Barbers
The Verdict
A man who treats his beard well, treats his bae well, as they say. And a well-kempt man gets his beard- and hair-grooming needs at Adilla Barbers, the new barbershop from renowned Adilla Colab hair salon in Double Bay. They cater their grooming services for “the modern man” who’s after a cut and trim one week, a cover-the-grey colouring the other, and a facial treatment the next—all with a whisky in hand, of course.
The experienced barbers at Adilla also do traditional hot towel shaves. It’s a 40 minute service that combines relaxation and grooming via hot face towels (duh), a facial massage and an open blade shave, followed by a slathering of premium after shave.
They’ve done away with the stereotypical furnishings of old-school barbershops, and enlisted the services of Melbourne’s BE Architects to design a space that’s all tanned wood and warm lights. It’s a comfortable, safe space for men who want to look good and feel good (and they’re open late on Wednesday and Thursdays). Plus, you’re in the hands of very experienced barbers—one is a graduate of the London School of Barbering, another has had stints as a guest barber for the NRL. Just saying...
