What to Do Before or After Your Haircut.
A great haircut is more than just a routine errand; it’s a reset. It’s that fresh-start feeling you get when you walk out of Silk Barbershop looking sharp and feeling your best. Since you’re already in the heart of one of Melbourne's most vibrant neighbourhoods, why not build on that feeling?
Carnegie and its surrounds are buzzing with energy. Whether you have an hour to kill before your appointment or want to show off your new look afterwards, we’ve got you covered. Here is the ultimate guide to the best local spots to eat, drink, shop, and relax near our barbershop.
1. Fuel Up: World-Class Coffee & Brunch
Every great local adventure starts with a quality brew. Carnegie is a hub for fantastic cafes, so you're spoilt for choice.
For the Trendsetter (Levi Cafe): Just a stone's throw away in Murrumbeena, Levi Cafe is a must-visit. Housed in a stunning, light-filled converted warehouse, it serves up inventive brunch dishes and specialty coffee that draw crowds from all over Melbourne. It's the perfect spot for a seriously impressive meal before or after your cut.
For the Local Classic (Spilt Milk Cafe): A beloved Carnegie institution, Spilt Milk Cafe offers a warm, friendly vibe right on Koornang Road. It’s the reliable go-to for a perfect latte and a delicious, no-fuss feed.
2. Quench Your Thirst: Boba, Brews, or Wine
Whether you need a quick treat or a sophisticated evening drink, the options are endless.
For Bubble Tea Lovers: Koornang Road is a paradise for bubble tea fans. After your haircut, grab a refreshing fruit tea from Gotcha or a classic milk tea from CoCo Fresh Tea & Juice. It’s the perfect, easy reward.
For a Refined Evening (Murrumbeena Wine Bar): If your haircut is setting the tone for a great evening, head to the Murrumbeena Wine Bar. With its curated list of local and international wines, moody atmosphere, and delicious share plates, it’s the ideal place to unwind and show off your sharp new look.
3. Get It All Done: Shopping & Errands
Why not tick off your to-do list while you're out?
For One-Stop Convenience (Carnegie Central): Need to do a grocery run or pick up some essentials? Carnegie Central Shopping Centre is right here. With a Woolworths, Aldi, and a variety of other shops, you can easily sort out your errands before or after your appointment.
For a Weekend Feast (Carnegie Meats): Look good, eat well. While the famous NYC Carnegie Deli has an online store, for a local option, you can find excellent butchers along Koornang Road to prepare for a stellar weekend barbecue.
4. Stay Active & Feel Great: Gyms & Parks
Pair your external refresh with an internal one. The "look good, feel good" mantra is easy to live by in Carnegie.
For a Pre-Cut Workout: Get your blood pumping before you relax in the barber's chair. Carnegie has several top-tier gyms just minutes away, including Anytime Fitness and Snap Fitness, Rec Xpress offering casual passes and modern equipment to fit in a session whenever it suits you.
For a Moment of Calm (Koornang Park): If you prefer fresh air, a stroll through is the perfect way to clear your head. It’s a beautiful green space to relax and enjoy a quiet moment.
A visit to Silk Barbershop is your anchor for a great day in a great neighbourhood. So next time you book your appointment, plan to explore. We’ll handle the haircut; the adventure is up to you.
