Chaps Barber Shop Now Open

Proud owner and operator of Chaps Barbershop, Grant Freedman, first started as a hairdresser in a local salon near his home in East London. After a few years, he moved on to qualify as a barber and work in a barbershop in Central London. More recently, since relocating to Adelaide and managing a local Henley Beach barbershop, Grant is excited to have launched his very own shop on Phillips Street in WEST.

Grant first got into barbering as he found that cutting hair wasn't simply just 'cutting hair'. It was getting to know his clients on a deeper level and developing the ability to make them feel as comfortable as they possibly could. Whether that be making some look good, feel confident within themselves, or simply just feeling that they have someone to talk to.

The story of Chaps comes after discussions Grant has with his mates and business owners at BFT West Lakes, Andy and Sam. Being based in West Lakes and always having an ambition to own his own shop, Grant was able to team up with Andy and Sam to realise the huge potential at a site for lease across the road from their gym on the up and coming Phillips Street, part of the Charles Street Precinct. The shop fit-out, attention to detail, and functionality have been extremely well thought out with bespoke fixtures and details throughout and the ability to have 4 barbers using the space at one time.

The name Chaps is a play on the British term for a boy or man. However, Chaps does not just appeal to males, with Grant and his team catering to all genders. They will also go above and beyond to help anyone of any age along with making those with ASD and any other special needs, feel comfortable and included. Their values are to provide a high-end service in an all-inclusive, relaxed and fun environment. Expect to have a laugh with a drink in hand and come out looking and feeling great.

Chaps offer a range of services priced by hair length including:

• Haircuts for short and long hair
• Beard trims and shape-ups to classic hot towel shaves
• Wash and style services
• Kids haircuts from as young as just a few months

Chaps currently have 2 barbers (Grant and Lochy) operating Monday-Sunday.
