The Resident Barber

The Resident Barber offers a premium grooming experience rooted in community and craftsmanship. What began as a converted caravan barbershop in 2015 has evolved into a distinctive Newtown destination at 510 Latrobe Boulevard, blending skilled haircuts with laid-back camaraderie. Clients enjoy complimentary beer/whiskey while engaging in putting practice, darts, or lively conversations in their lounge area. The space reflects founder Jos’ journey from mobile barbering to creating a full-service shop emphasizing personalized attention and male camaraderie. Their industrial-chic aesthetic (showcased through shipping container conversions) and focus on one-on-one service maintain the intimate vibe of their caravan origins while accommodating growing demand.
