For cruise passengers and crew
In port for the day? Come straight from the terminal. It is about 5 minutes on foot and most cuts are done well inside the hour.
- We open at 8:30 AM, or 9:30 AM on Wednesday, so a morning cut leaves the whole day in port.
- We are closed on Sunday, and so are our other two shops. Sailing out on a Sunday? Come in Saturday before 4:00 PM, then walk out into The Rocks Markets on George Street.
- Crew welcome. Same prices, same chairs.

I was in Sydney for vacation and in need of a haircut before heading back to the United States. I was in The Rocks neighborhood and found Uptown Barbers. … The customer service was outstanding.
Visiting Sydney from NYC and decided to get a fresh cut while I was here. … He understood exactly what I wanted and did an amazing job. Great experience, great vibe, and I couldn’t be happier with the cut.
I travel a lot so it’s difficult to always get a good haircut but Omid immediately knew what to do, he’s really an expert. One of my favorite haircuts in a long time, I will definitely return whenever I’m in Sydney.
