The Resident Barber

Welcome to The Resident Barber, located in Geelong West on Pakington Street. Our establishment is not just your average barbershop; it's a haven for hair care and health, and a point of interest for locals and visitors alike.

Our story began in 2015 when Jos, the owner, had a simple idea to transform an old caravan into his first barbershop. This quaint space outside King of Castle quickly became the foundation of something special. Jos cherished the one-on-one interactions with his regular clients and everyone who stepped through the caravan's door for their appointment.

As time passed and the business flourished, Jos envisioned expanding the venture. In 2016, he turned the idea of converting a shipping container into a barbershop into a remarkable reality, maintaining the same great experience and premium quality but with a fresh new look.

With growing demand came the need for more space and barbers to cater to our loyal clientele. Determined to continue their legacy, the team set their sights on finding a suitable shop on Pakington Street. After months of hard work and renovations, they finally crafted the perfect premium experience.

When you walk into our shop for your appointment, you'll be warmly greeted by friends. Feel free to grab a complimentary beer or whiskey, and if you fancy some fun, head outside for a bit of putting practice or play darts. Alternatively, simply relax on the couch and join in on the lively conversations that fill the air of our barbershop.
