Skin fades are one of our most requested services at Dark & Stormy in Bendigo. A regular haircut is your classic short back and sides — usually a 0.5–2+ guard on the sides and back, blended into the top, with scissors used on top as needed. A fade starts much shorter, either a 0 guard or skin, and gradually blends up into the top. This category also includes tapers, burst fades, mohawks, and similar styles that require more detailed fading work.
-
Yes, we cut hair for all ages. For children under 10, we recommend avoiding skin fades, as their hair type may not be ideal for that style. Skin fades are also a higher maintenance cut that usually needs to be done more often to keep it looking sharp.
-
Yes. All of our signature services are finished with a straight razor. This allows us to clean up the hairline, neckline, and beard with extra precision, giving you a sharper, longer lasting finish. Straight razor work is a key part of our attention to detail and will take every cut to the next level.
-
Yes! Our gift cards are completely paperless. They’re emailed directly to your chosen address and come with a unique redemption code that can be used when booking or in the shop.

Qualified Barber
Fresh to the industry but already recognised for it. Mad footy fan, Tyran joined the collective in 2024 and has since taken out the Excellence in Barbering award, a credit to the precision and attention to detail he brings to every single cut. In the chair, he's all focus.
We built Dark & Stormy around a simple belief. That every part of the experience should be as considered as the cut itself. The space, the service, the people.
Award-winning barbers. One standard. No exceptions.
Rock up, grab something cold from the fridge and settle into the space. Beer, sparkling water, soft drink or zero alcohol, it's all on us. Good music, a space worth being in, and nowhere you need to be for the next little while.
