About Falekosi

**Falekosi** brings authentic Polynesian barbering tradition to Braddon's vibrant dining precinct. This family-owned barbershop, operating since December 2021, takes its name from the Tongan word for barbershop, reflecting the owners' proud Pacific heritage. Located at 33 Mort Street next to Kivotos Wine Bar, Falekosi specialises in men's cuts with particular expertise in thick, curly Polynesian and Afro-textured hair. The team brings over a decade of experience to their craft, offering everything from classic cuts and buzz cuts to precision skin fades that seamlessly blend hair into skin. Services range from standard men's haircuts ($50-$60) to detailed Afro shape-ups with fades ($75-$85). They also cater to families with dedicated children's cuts for under-10s, plus comprehensive haircut and beard trim packages. The barbershop's cultural connection runs deep – their specialisation in diverse hair textures reflects genuine understanding of different styling needs. The atmosphere balances professional barbering with welcoming family values. Whether you're after a quick school-ready trim for the kids or a detailed fade that showcases technical skill, Falekosi's small team delivers personalised attention in a space that honours both traditional barbering and contemporary Canberra style. Open Monday to Saturday with extended weekday hours.
