A new men’s barbershop has opened on the Clontarf foreshore, introducing an appointment-based grooming service as part of a locally established hair business.
New Barbershop Opens On Clontarf Foreshore
A men’s barbershop operating under the name The MR. Collective has opened along the Clontarf foreshore, adding another small business to the Redcliffe Peninsula area.
The barbershop forms part of the MR.MRS hair brand, which is run by founders Cara and Bash. The pair previously operated under the name MrMrs The Hair Experts, a locally owned family business.
The broader brand began in 2020 with a boutique hair salon and barbershop located on the Clontarf Beach waterfront.
Appointment-Based Model Introduced In Clontarf
The Clontarf barbershop operates using an appointment-only system rather than a traditional walk-in model.
According to the business, this approach allows each booking to be scheduled individually instead of accommodating customers in a waiting area.
The grooming services are led by Bash, who has 14 years of experience in barbering. He is described as a third-generation barber and previously owned Gentlemans Barbers in Auckland.
Services listed by the business include haircuts, skin fades, beard grooming and straight-razor shaving.
Part Of A Broader Local Hair Business
The opening of The MR. Collective separates men’s grooming services from the brand’s women’s salon operations.
The business also runs The MRS. Collective, which provides hair services for women in a dedicated salon environment.
The decision to continue operating in Clontarf reflects the location where the original salon business developed and where the owners say the brand first built a local client base.
Hiring Underway After Opening
The MR. Collective opened earlier in 2026 and the business has since begun recruiting an additional barber.
Information shared through the recruitment process indicates the role is intended for an experienced barber who is confident with fades and beard work.
The position is based on appointment bookings rather than walk-in services.
Bookings for both The MR. Collective and The MRS. Collective are available throughout the week as the business continues operating in Clontarf.
