Known for their midweek late-night cuts and a complimentary whisky or locally brewed craft beer on arrival, there is no better excuse to knock off work and head straight to Twin Palms.
Langanis Studio
Teneriffe
Defined by precision, creativity, and refined style, Langanis is the ultimate powerhouse of Brisbane’s barber scene. The visionary behind the business, Michael Langanis, sets the bar for technical skill and has grown Langanis into a recognised name known for its distinct style and identity within the hairdressing industry, alongside Langanis Hair, now recognised as one of Australia’s premium men’s hair care brands.

Waves Barbershop
West End
At Waves Barbershop, getting your hair cut becomes something far richer than routine. An extension of the Langanis Group, this West End gem blends sharp technical craft with a distinctly curated atmosphere, where Bohemian-Morroccan interiors and a selection of cold beers set the tone. Waves redefines the modern barbershop, pairing precision cuts, refined shaves, and meticulous detailing with a sense of culture and connection. It’s a space that resonates with Brisbane’s style-conscious crowd and leaves everyone wanting to make it their regular.
Common Barbershop
Bowen Hills
Common Barbershop in Bowen Hills is less a pit stop and more a destination of effortlessly cool.

Think everything from a skin fade to a hot towel shave, all topped off with a perfectly crafted espresso.

Everyone is welcome, and every client leaves feeling and looking their best.

Here, the team understands your exact vision, delivering results that far exceed what you were hoping for. With a client list that includes everyone from athletes to artists and models, Zenith Lounge is an inclusive space where craft, culture, and good conversation converge.
Jimmy Rod's
Multiple Locations
In an era where we are all trying to rush through life, Jimmy Rods is bringing back the slow and indulgent ritual of treating yourself to a nice trim. What began in 2003 as a single Oxley storefront has evolved into a defining name in Queensland’s barbering scene, yet its ethos remains unchanged. Jimmy Rod envisioned more than just precise and classic cuts, so he built a space where men could slow down, connect, and unwind. Think leather couches, easy banter, and an atmosphere that is equally nostalgic and modern. At Jimmy Rods, a haircut isn’t just maintenance, it’s a full-on experience.
Wayward Studio
Taringa & Windsor
In a bustling city like Brisbane, Wayward Studio stands apart as a study in precision. Here, every session is meticulously curated to your taste and style, delivered by a team of stylists who treat their craft with the utmost respect. Both salons have a quiet confidence: no chaos, no compromise, just meticulous attention to detail. Wayward has quickly earned its reputation as Brisbane’s benchmark for considered styling, where exceptional service is a given at every appointment. So, for those who value refinement over rushed, this is where modern barbering finds its sharpest expression.
