Best Sydney Suburbs to Open a Barbershop in 2026

21 July

The fade game is fierce — but if you pick the right location, you’ll thrive. Here’s where we’d open a fresh new shop this year:

High foot traffic, Italian roots, and a culture that respects personal grooming. Plus, loads of older barbershops are closing.

Thousands of new residents, but still only a handful of shops. Young male demographic + solid rent.

Underrated. Strong mix of families and tradies. Get your signage right and you’ll build a loyal base fast.

New builds everywhere. Lots of modern, image-conscious residents and limited service providers.

Busy retail strip, multicultural hub, and endless hair — this one’s a no-brainer.

Already run a barbershop and want to upgrade your cleaning game? Ultrix gets rid of the hair, sweat, and streaks — daily.
