Meet Your Barber
Mel's spent 20+ years behind the chair, and built True Hair Collective so men could have somewhere quiet, private and unhurried for the same standard of work. Skin fades, classic scissor work, hot towel shaves, colour camo and skin treatments, done by one person, properly.
About Mel"If you need a clean cut which is both professional and efficient then Mel is the barber for you. She provides awesome service, has a great selection of product in stock, and even provides extra treatment with a trim of your hairline and eyebrows."
"First time sitting in Mel's chair and it was nothing short of an amazing experience. She turned a simple visit into an unreal experience with a head shave and a head massage of a lifetime. She's definitely won me over as a regular!"
"Mel really took her time, listened to what I wanted, and nailed the cut perfectly. I left feeling fresh, confident, and totally looked after. Easy 5 stars!"
"I've been going to Mel's True Hair Collective for years, and Mel never disappoints. Always a perfect cut, great attention to detail, and friendly service every time."
"Mel is really good. Her haircuts look great and grow out well, and the products she recommends actually work. I highly recommend getting your haircut here."
"Mel has been my hairdresser for many years. True Cut brings the traditional barbering into the modern world."
Pre-pay for any 8 men's services and the 9th and 10th are on the house, applied automatically the next time you book. It's the same individual services you'd book anyway (precision haircut, beard shape, hot towel shave, head shave, colour camo), just bundled at the best price we offer. No hidden expiry, no monthly fees.
Appointments only. We don't take walk-ins. The studio is private, one client at a time, so the chair has to be booked. Most weekday slots can be picked up 1–2 weeks ahead; weekends are tighter, so book 2–4 weeks out if you want a Saturday.
Consultation, shampoo and scalp wash, the cut itself (skin fade, textured crop, classic scissor work, whatever suits your hair and head shape), styling with Depot product, and a hot towel finish with cologne. Around 45 minutes start to finish, longer if you add a beard service or shave.
That's exactly what Colour Camo is for. We use a soft, semi-permanent men's tone that softens grey at the temples and through the beard rather than blocking it out, so it grows out naturally and nobody can tell you've had it done. Quick service, no commitment, no upkeep stress.
