Bladez: New cutting-edge Double Bay barber Good old-fashioned service in a stylish wrapping is how you could describe the Bladez & Co shop. Yet though a top barber service is offered, it aims for more. “We want to offer an experience – not just a service,” says Bladez & Co Business Manager, Nika Rahmani. “We believe in strong relationships with everyone who walks through our doors – making people feel at home and comfortable; a space where our customers feel pampered from the moment they walk in.”
The staff of barbers offer a high level of personal service. They take the time to chat with clients plus offer complimentary coffee or other beverage and thoroughly explain the product range.
Set in fashionable Kiaora Place, Double Bay, Bladez & Co’s sleek shop design draws people in with a confident but also inviting look. Featuring an open feel with chic black and white décor, once inside, customers discover this modern barber not only offers the latest in premium products and techniques but also has traditional specialities – the ‘hot towel shave’ being particularly popular.
With the average haircut only costing $40, it’s no wonder Bladez & Co is attracting a raft of returning customers. The hot towel shave’s traditional taste of luxury only costs $40. Other popular requests are specialty haircuts, including the skin fade – which is only $50.
“We have regulars who just come in for our hot towel shaves; after lathering on facial soap, the barber shaves with a cut-throat razor then applies a hot towel,” she explains. Though open only since December – making it the ‘new kid on the block’, a wealth of experience is offered: “Sam, the owner, has had over 15 years’ hairdressing experience, and I’ve been in the management and hairdressing industry for about eight years. Double Bay was a drawcard for their new business. “I love the area and making everyone feel comfortable when they walk in,” Nika enthuses.
Attracting great feedback is the price point, which offers very good value for money – especially for Double Bay: “We aim to give more than what our price is, and I can tell that our customers are really happy with what they pay and receive,” Nika observes.
Though clients mainly are teens to mid-50s, all ages are welcome. And all haircut styles are catered for – plus re-styles, beard trims, line-ups, colours, keratin, hair treatments and facial masks. Bladez & Co is open seven days and customers can just walk-in, however if anyone is on a time limit, appointments can be made. Paula Towers
