Been travelling up the east coast for 6 weeks and looked very hard for a place that did good scissor trims as I have longer hair. These guys did not disappoint! The vibe in the barbers is elite, everyone is so friendly and welcoming and the hair cut was perfect! 10/10 100% would recommend!!

Got an epic cut and beard trim at Cartel Collective. Honestly one of the best experiences I’ve had. Harrison took the time to do a proper consultation first, really understood what I was going for, and then absolutely nailed the result. The cut is clean, sharp, and exactly how I pictured it. The beard trim and shave were just as precise. The shop itself is super clean, well organised, and has a really sharp, premium feel to it. On top of that, the whole team is genuinely friendly and welcoming, which makes a big difference. If you’re serious about your haircut and beard, this is the place. I’ll definitely be back.

Harrison is by far one of the best Barbers I’ve ever experienced. His knowledge and Understanding of what I’m seeking in a hairstyle has always been exceptional. Absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for a professional in the industry

Lockie did an awesome job on my haircut. He listened to exactly what I wanted and nailed it perfectly. Super friendly guy and the whole place had a really good atmosphere which made the experience even better. Highly recommend getting your haircut with Lockie if you want someone who actually takes the time to get it right.

Harrison was absolutely fantastic. He provided great customer service, listened to our needs and was a true professional. He was really understanding and welcoming and made my 4 years olds first big haircut a positive experience for him. His cutting skills were amazing. We had a full restyle and we loved the end result. I would very much recommend Harrison and we will be looking forward to coming back for another haircut soon. My husband and other two boys Iove having their hair cut at Cartel Collective. The team do such a great job.

Visiting from the US, I had a great experience at The Cartel Collective. I sought a razor fade and beard trim with Harrison, an exceptional barber and true professional. He meticulously asked the right questions, listened attentively to my preferences, and explained the entire process. His attention to detail is remarkable, and Harrison takes immense pride in his work. Beyond his expertise, he’s incredibly friendly, easy to converse with, and ensures that the entire experience is enjoyable. I highly recommend Harrison to anyone looking for a high-quality barber.

The lads upon entry were very accommodating with an upbeat and welcoming attitude. Fade & Beard by senior barber Niall. During initial consulting of what I was wanting Niall was able to articulate what i was looking for and as I am unaware of terminology assisting with pictures. Professional, great attitude, adaptive conversationalist (no need to talk if that's not your thing). Niall continued to consult during the cut and provided a perfectionist result. The rest of the team provided an awesome atmosphere supported by multiple current sporting event on screens throughout the shop.

Harrison is an outstanding barber and very professional! He listens to exactly what you want and talks you through the cut. His attention to detail is top notch and he always delivers a clean cut! You can tell he takes pride in his work. On top of that, he is friendly, easy to talk to and creates a great overall experience. I would highly recommend Harrison to anyone looking for a barber who consistently delivers! 😄

Coming to Cairns, I really needed a solid haircut and spent a while searching online trying to find the right barber. I came across Josh at Cartel Collective through Instagram—his work stood out right away, especially since he was cutting styles similar to my hair type. Booking with him turned out to be the right call. Josh absolutely nailed it. He took the time to understand what I was after, paid attention to detail, and delivered a clean, sharp cut that exceeded expectations. You can tell he knows his craft and takes pride in his work. On top of that, it was a great chat in the chair—super easygoing and made the whole experience even better. The staff were also really welcoming, which made it feel comfortable from the moment I walked in. If you’re new to the Cairns area or just looking for someone reliable who consistently puts out great cuts, I’d highly recommend Josh. Definitely one of the best decisions I made after arriving.

Great attention to detail. Harrison is very thorough and a great guy to converse with. The place is very welcoming and feels premium. Will be returning for more haircuts.
