BEN Scissorhands

Excellent barber/​hairdresser. Long opening hours, nice atmosphere and lovely service. The price is good too — at least for me, as I’m a simple man with simple hair-​related needs. I wouldn’t hesitate to ask these guys to do something fancy though, if I was that way inclined.

BEN Scissorhands is a new haidresser in the Kelvin Grove Urban Village. Located in the heart of the QUT Kelvin Grove university campus, Ben’s pricing caters well for students, with men’s haircuts starting at $ 20. He also does women’s haircuts/​washes/​foils etc, although I’m unsure of the pricing.
From the outside, there is not much to be seen apart from some simple (and clever!) signage on the windows, however stepping inside, you’ll find a very comfortable area that I believe was put together by Ben himself! Comfortable hairdressing chairs to sit in, and for those of you having a wash, Ben’s wash basin is super comfortable too, supporting your head well and keeping pressure off your neck, which can be uncomfortable.
Ben is super friendly, and very knowledgeable in all things hair related. You can show him photos of what you’d like, or explain it to him, and he will read your hair «qualities» and tell you if he thinks it would look good on you. I’ve had two completely differently styled haircuts from him, both excellent!
