About

The shop

The Corner Chair is what it sounds like: the barbershop on the corner, with the vinyl shelf, the good biscuits and three generations of the same families in the book. Hugh opened it in 2015; Ballarat did the rest.

Reviews

From the regulars

Been coming since it opened. Hugh's cut my hair for two job interviews, one wedding and a divorce.

— Bluey

The father-and-son slot on Saturdays is the best tradition we've accidentally started.

— Damo

Gurpreet tells a story exactly the length of a haircut. Every time. It's uncanny.

— Pete

Moved to Melbourne, still come back every month. Says it all.

— Josh

Charlie did my cut supervised and it was great. Watch that kid.

— Macca

You book online now instead of waiting with a magazine from 2011. Progress.
