Altona · Est. 1978
Skin fades, classic scissor cuts, beard sculpts and the hot towel shave your grandfather swore by. Walk in, or book ahead — your call.
Father & son
My old man opened a barbershop in Brunswick in 1978. I grew up sweeping his floors, watching him talk to every bloke who walked in like an old mate. He taught me that a barbershop isn't about hair — it's about the ten minutes someone gets to switch off.
I opened Eddie's in Altona in 2009 to carry that on. Dad still drops in on Saturdays to do a few of his regulars. We do modern fades and old-school shaves with the same care either way.
Pull up a chair. We'll look after you.

"Been getting my hair cut by Eddie for eight years. Best fade in the west and a top bloke. Wouldn't go anywhere else."
"Took my 5-year-old for his first proper cut. Eddie was so patient with him. The lollipop sealed the deal — he asks to go back."
"Old-school hot towel shave is unreal. Felt like stepping back in time, in the best way."
