Dubbo’s Top 10 Barbershops & Barbers

The Profile

Ace At Fades was established in 2021 by Chelsea Poyser after an apprenticeship and local training; the shop grew from a rented chair into a dedicated barbershop that focuses on men’s and kids’ haircuts, tight fades, crisp line work and a calm, modern client environment.

Ace At Fades offers a focused menu of men’s standard haircuts, fades, beard sculpting, facials and waxing, and retails industry-leading grooming products on site so clients can leave with recommended aftercare immediately after their appointment rather than searching elsewhere for the correct items.

Ace At Fades keeps booking flexible to suit shift workers and busy families: the shop advertises 24/7 online booking plus explicit after-hours appointment availability, and the founder’s hands-on oversight and apprenticeship-trained technique underpin a consistently executed fade and beard finish across the team.

Why It Made the List and Why It’s Our Top Pick

Ace At Fades tops this list because the founder-driven technical focus combines reliably precise fade technique with unusually flexible scheduling; Chelsea’s apprenticeship background produces consistent line work while round-the-clock online booking and after-hours slots make the shop genuinely usable for clients who cannot attend during standard business hours.

Good to Know

Ace At Fades offers 24/7 online booking and advertises after-hours appointments; bring product questions to your booking because the salon retails recommended grooming items on site and can advise on aftercare during the appointment.

Desi Barber West Dubbo opens appointments with a compact, goal-focused consultation that clarifies fade height, clipper gradings and desired beard shape before cutting begins; that preparatory conversation reduces mid-cut changes and helps barbers map grading steps so the blend proceeds efficiently and predictably.

Desi Barber’s technicians prioritise controlled blending and crisp edge work executed in consistent sequences, using repeatable guard progressions and measured transitions so clients who book regular touch-ups leave with tidy regrowth that remains wearable between scheduled maintenance visits.
