These two jordanian brothers are the most agreeable, happy men you could ever hope to meet. It is a little difficult to tell them apart, except that Khalid is taller and a lot more talkative (in a good way). They provide excellent old fashioned service with a smile. You can send your man in there to have a traditional barber shop shave and he can come out feeling very pampered - a good idea for a Christmas or birthday present for those hard to buy for men. It is a busy little shop especially on the weekends. Regulars and visitors alike file in here for a $20 haircut using just clippers. How cheap is that! We girls have to spend at least three times that to get our mane clipped.

DISASTER! AVOID THIS BARBER. Because my regular Glenelg barber Kav had an accident and has not…read morebeen available for some weeks and I was desperate for an haircut, I foolishly went to Fandi Barber Boys nearby. A surly and highly coiffed young barber sat me down. I told him I wanted a "short but not too short" haircut and indicated with my fingers that I wanted about 3cm off all over. Before I could blink he SHAVED the side of my head in a crew cut. I was horrified. I left disgusted and confounded. I now have a shaved section of hair above my right ear. The barber subsequently apologised but the damage is done. Why can't a barber do short back and sides? Surely that is elementary to the trade? You have been warned.

The Mens Room Adelaide is a great CBD barber half way down Hindley Street (109). Adam and Darren…read moreare both very experienced and offer either a basic clipper cut and shampoo or a more detailed scissor-clipper cut/shampoo/style service. Check out www.themensroomadelaide.com.au. Walk ins are okay although they prefer bookings. Hindley Street doesn't offer much parking but a few streets to the south-west do. Obviously it's also perfect for those who spend more time in the CBD be it for work or leisure and don't drive in. The salon itself is suitably decorated for the grand old building it's in, with wooden floors and just the required amount furniture, being two comfortable barber chairs, a third (old) one just for show, a sitting area with some magazines, the main counter and a wash/shampoo area to the rear. Lenny (Adam's dog) seems like he's part of the furniture but will respond to some patting, love and admiration (see his picture on their website). I've been coming here for quite a few years and can honestly say I haven't been disappointed. It's not one of those large unisex places where you feel like you're on a conveyer belt and your nostrils are filled with the smells of hair dye and nail technician chemicals, nor is it one of those latest trend places where you get a beer, a facial and a shoulder rub at the same time, but your haircut never looks like it should. I don't mix my massages with my haircuts although the beer idea...oh well. There is something very inviting about The Mens Room. It's a place for 'men', where conversations can be centered on sports, or girls, or something in the moment, or even nothing at all. It's a quick little 'time out' where you're treated well and leave the salon looking and feeling great.

If you're looking for a simple cut, or you want that vintage/classic look (all you Elvis and James Dean fanboys, listen up), then Frank's your man. He knows exactly what he's doing, and if you tell him clearly what you want, he'll do it for you. Not only is he extremely experienced with cutting hair, but he's quick with the scissors too. My haircuts have never taken longer than 20 minutes. There's nothing like sitting back in the chair and having your hair cut by a pro, the good old way. The best part is when he gets out the traditional razor blade. Don't be afraid; it's sharp as hell, and he might sound like the Godfather, but he's very careful. Frank doesn't take appointments; walk-ins only. You might have to wait around for a wihle if he's busy with customers, but you're never kept waiting too long.

The place is buzzing with the clicks of scissors and the atmosphere just screams 'Man-Cave'. Immediately I felt at home. After a while it was my turn. I sat down and said: "Give me the 'Zach Galifianakis' from the Hangover movies", to which he replied: "Alright. Which one?". I looked at him, he looked at me; we both knew magic was going to happen. I had walked in looking like a hermit with long hair past my shoulders and an unkempt beard so fuzzy that people were flicking their change at me on the street. Twenty-minutes, a short-black and $35 later, I walked out of there having had the best male-grooming experience of my entire life. The lads banter was top notch and they even have a guy who specializes in buzzing patterns into people's short-sides. I'm definitely making this my exclusive hair/beard maintenance destination. Be prepared to wait though -- It is drop-in only so no appointments. It was 45 to an hour before I even sat down in the magicians chair, but this place is busy because of the atmosphere and relevant skills. So go and check out best-kept secret in Findon. As for the ladies, bring your man here and hit-up the womens hair-dressers right next door. I hear they are something special too.

My trouble at the time was I'd make an appointment at a salon and when the time came, junior was either having a sleep or a really bad day. The drop-in nature of Louie's means you can pick a day and time that suits you (ahem...your child) and just rock up. He's open from around 9.30 to 4.30 or 5, depending on the day, and Saturdays by appointment. There are six chairs for waiting customers and it's around 10 minutes per person. If there are two or three waiting, I'll stick around, four and I'll come back another time. Kids warm to Louie and having sons of his own, he's very comfortable with them. It's $18.50 for boys and men. Slightly less for pensioners. Slightly more for a full scissor cut. It's a pretty basic setting - there's a water fountain and TV with Foxtel and if you ask nicely, he'll usually switch it to the cartoon channel to keep your kid entertained while he goes about his business. Barber on Unley comes highly recommended.

I should of gave up then but i gave them a chance anyway so i went into the city paid for parking and went and found it in adelaide arcade on the balcony level. So i understand the idea of the idea of the place, a place that lads want to go and hang out and get their hair cut at the same time. So the decore is nice and the place has a cool feel but the service is really shit and unprofessional, so much so after i spent an hour waiting i decided it wasnt worth it and walked out. When i arrived there was Dodgeball on the tv, ok thats a funny lighthearted movie for customers to pass the time great. They have 4 barbers chairs they were all full, with 4 guys waiting at the time. So i was sitting there watching them cut, and they were incredibly slow, like ridiculously slow. Im glad I wasn't catching a bus because I would of missed it. But at a place that only does walk-in cuts, in the city on a Friday afternood/night (late night trading) you would think they would be trying to pick up the pace a little... but instead it was appropriate to physicaly stop cutting and watch a scene of the movie and it was most of them not just 1 worker. Plus stopping cutting to have personal conversations and joke around while they are suppose to be doing someone's hair isn't acceptable to me either. I know im dribbling but i am really dissapointed. Its suppose to be a retail buiseness and they weren't professional at all, i personally dont like being called bro 5 times in the first minute i enter the store. But if you have 2 hours to kill go ahead and get a haircut but be prepared to wait. Definitely the destination for metro scene kids, but definatley not for men. Poor effort boys....
