The Royal Moody Barber and Shave Parlour

The best hairdresser in Adelaide. Best staff, both in terms of competency and friendliness, best vibes by a mile, reasonable price. Cannot go wrong. Also great coffee and really care about the community.

I've been using the barber services of the Royal Moody for years now and I don't go anywhere else. Their coffee and food is delicious, and the community that's been cultivated is friendly and inviting.

A Haven of Inclusivity and Passion: Closer/Royal Moody/A Cup of Sunny

Rating: (5/5)

As a member of the LGBTQ+ community, finding a barber shop that embraces diversity and creates an inclusive environment can be a challenge. However, I was fortunate enough to stumble upon Closer/Royal Moody/A Cup of Sunny, a remarkable establishment that effortlessly combines the worlds of barbering, record collecting, and coffee appreciation. It is with great pleasure that I share my heartfelt review of this truly special place.

From the moment you step inside, you are greeted with a warm and inviting atmosphere that immediately puts you at ease. The vibrant energy, infused with a genuine love for music and a passion for the craft of barbering, permeates every corner of the shop. Glenn, the master barber, is not only immensely talented in his trade but also radiates an infectious enthusiasm for everything he does.

What sets Closer/Royal Moody/A Cup of Sunny apart is its commitment to inclusivity and the creation of a safe space for everyone. Glenn and his team have successfully shattered the traditional, sometimes unwelcoming, atmosphere of many barbershops. They have cultivated an environment that embraces diversity, celebrating individuality and ensuring that each person who walks through the door feels comfortable and respected. It's a place where gender norms and stereotypes dissolve, allowing people of all backgrounds and orientations to feel completely at ease.

Glenn's passion for music is evident in the impressive record store that adorns one corner of the shop. Whether you're a vinyl aficionado or simply interested in expanding your musical horizons, you'll find a carefully curated selection that caters to a wide range of tastes. The staff is always eager to offer recommendations and engage in conversations about music, making every visit an opportunity to discover new sonic gems.

And let's not forget about the coffee! A Cup of Sunny, the coffee shop nestled within the space, serves up a delightful array of aromatic brews that will satisfy even the most discerning coffee lover. Whether you prefer a bold espresso or a creamy latte, the skilled baristas will craft a perfect cup tailored to your taste. The cozy seating area provides a welcoming spot to sip your drink, listen to the melodic tunes playing in the background, and soak in the overall ambiance.

Beyond the exceptional services and unique blend of offerings, it's the people at Closer/Royal Moody/A Cup of Sunny who truly make this place shine. Glenn's genuine warmth, open-mindedness, and dedication to his craft are apparent in every interaction. He goes above and beyond to ensure that each customer not only leaves with a fantastic haircut but also feels seen, heard, and valued.

In conclusion, I wholeheartedly recommend Closer/Royal Moody/A Cup of Sunny to anyone seeking an extraordinary experience.

The cycling guy in 2016

I have had the pleasure of being a customer of this business for years. I can honestly say that this place does not disappoint.

The guys in Rose St.have created a safe space for expression and community that is second to none in Adelaide.

Whether it’s Hair, Coffee, Vinyl, Music or simply good vibes, this is the place for you ️

Always a great vibe from these guys, Sam and Glenn are masters of their craft. Make sure you book in person or online, bookings essential.

Ok haircut, they wanted to spend way too much time taking photos of my haircut for instagram (felt like longer than my haircut)

By far the best haircut experience and coffee's I've ever been to. Don't go anywhere else for your coffee!

Terrific customer service, Glenn does a truly fantastic job. Fantastic atmosphere, very welcoming from all the staff, the best coffee I have had and the music is perfect. Could not recommend them highly enough!

Next level Barber. Ultimate quality cuts and organisation in a relaxed setting. Great coffee and people. Get organised and book yourself in.

Three guys, just standing around and plenty of time to cut me hair!

It was super easy just booking an appointment online, rolling down to the barber and getting a great haircut. Won’t forget it!

Caution if you have a beard

The barbers were nice, but joked around too much. They really made a mess of my beard, I did not say anything because it’s done now.

I spent time explaining how I wanted a beard trim, but the barber cut as he thought looked good.

They don’t listen to clients and spent too much time talking about their nights out.

I won’t be back. Many others to choose from.

Nice friendly staff, everyone is always down for a chat! Shop is always looking fresh and everytime I go back it gets better and better! No complaints, the best barber shop in Glenelg.

Glenn is truly passionate about what he does. This is reflected in the great atmosphere within Royal Moody and the consistent quality haircuts. A true asset to Glenelg!

Good easy going people. Nice relaxing place to go for a haircut. The coffee is delicious as well.

Sam consistently provides really high quality haircuts. My friends always tell me that my haircuts from Sam are by far the best I've gotten, and I've been lucky enough to go to a lot of the high end barbers in Sydney and Adelaide. He takes great care in what he does and is always great to speak with. I'll be going back every chance I get.

Sam gave me the full can of beans. A wild fade. Perfect length and made my head not look like a dog. Will be seeing him again as soon as my Centrelink check comes in
