“At alpha barbers we love what we do and we stay true to what barbering traditionally is; to offer quality barbering at a reasonable price, with no appointment necessary, amongst the beautiful streets and laneways of Melbourne. To us we believe it is all about individual service, and our shops are our homes and as owners we work in them all the time to ensure our clients experience warmth and comfort on every visit.”

The Alpha Barbers brand was established in 2011 when brothers Frank and Carmelo Bazzano joined forces. After years of experience in the women & men’s hair industry they both were more passionate about men’s grooming and could see that this niche was not being fulfilled, there was a demand for quality men’s grooming.

There is currently 3 Alpha Barbers stores in Melbourne’s CBD – Flinders Lane, Spring Street and Lt William which is located on the corner of Lt Bourke. Alpha Barbers @ Flinders Lane is located in the picturesque Scott Alley, the Spring Street store is directly across from Parliament station, Lonsdale exit, and is a short walk from the reknown Princess theatre. Most recently Alpha Barbers @ Lt William opened in May 2019 and is next door to one of the most prestigious cafes in Melbourne, “Patricia Coffee Brewers”.

The interior design idea for all stores was to create something different, but something which still represented the Alpha Barbers brand and its services. The 3 spaces, designed by Italian architect Edo Luis Donatti, and built by Rob Rosace from Dome Building, are masculine yet refined. Although these stores are sophisticated it’s business as usual, with the same quality service – refreshingly modest and affordable.
