About the Business

Desi Barber Perth is a men’s barbershop at 59B Walter Road West, Dianella, in Perth’s northern suburbs, trading seven days a week from 9am to 7pm. The shop specialises in men’s grooming — scissor cuts, skin and taper fades, line-ups, beard trims and shaping, and finishing — and serves a loyal base of regulars alongside a steady walk-in trade from the surrounding suburbs. It runs a clean, modern set-up where the standard is a sharp, consistent finish on every client, delivered at a fair price and without a long wait, and its barbers take pride in the detail of their work and in the easy, welcoming atmosphere that keeps clients coming back.

About the Position

The Hairdresser will work a full-time chair at the Dianella shop, delivering the complete range of men’s cutting, fading, beard and finishing services to the shop’s standard.
