I moustache you a question: Where can I find The Cock & Crown?

Posted on

I moustache you a question. Where does one take their fella for a tidy and trim?

Why, to a purveyor of fine men’s haircuts, of course.”

I love getting my hair done. The whole process is ultimately relaxing as I’m sure you’d agree. Melting into a chair for an hour, maybe more…reading trashy magazines, sipping a cappuccino, chatting away and then the head massage – it’s my favourite part of the whole experience. 

But what I’ve recently noticed is that its quite the opposite experience for my boyfriend. For him a trip to the hairdresser is like that to the dentist. He just wants to go and get it over with. Probably because all the things we love about going to the hairdresser they just find uncomfortable.

If this sounds like your fella, brother, father, friend, then I’ve found the hairdressing holy grail for men— a place where they can finally  ‘get’ why we love our hair appointments so much.

Having only opened the doors a few months ago with the ambition to create where blokes can…well…be blokes, The Cock and Crown is  a men’s barber shop in Woden. 

And the only way to describe its vibe, (at least so HE understands) is to think of it like the poolroom version of a hairdresser.

No sooner have you placed a foot in the door that you’re greeted by owners Craig and Tim, who both have extensive experience in the hair dressing biz, and will pop a beer straight in your hand before you can even utter the words, “I’d like to get a hair cut”. 

The décor is ‘fully’ male to capture the true bloke essence—tool draws and vintage barber chairs, stag heads and you even the cricket (depending on the season) playing on the radio in the background.

Think man-cave meets barber shop. 

These blokes not only know hair, but could also be mistaken for having a degree in beardology (aka the study of beards)—they’re that good. For those dedicated to moustachery and all things facial hair, the boys offer a mean beard tidy and trim alongside their haircutting serviced. Given beards are becoming more than just a hipster trend and with Movember around the corner, I guarantee it’s good to know there’s a place that can help your fella keep his beard in check.

A regular hair appointment will take about 45 minutes, perfect for a lunchtime trim or quick drop in after work without giving up your whole evening.

The whole concept behind them starting The Cock and Crown is to create a male friendly space where guys can feel comfortable, talk guy talk and relax with a beer while getting their hair or beard done.

They’ve totally nailed it. My boyfriend is a total convert and is already looking forward to his next appointment.
