Let’s do the math. If you’re generating $2,000 a week and taking home $1,000, you are paying a $4,000/month tax just to use someone else’s chair.
Stop funding your boss’s lifestyle. Silk Barbershop in Carnegie has 3 premium chairs open for independent contractors. You pay a flat rent, you set your own hours, and you keep 100% of your earnings.

Exactly 2.5 years ago today, Melbourne Barber • Jaymz The Barber unlocked the doors at Silk Barbershop.

2.5 years of:

🧴 Hair products selling out faster than we can restock them.

✨ Launching our brand-new, Australian-made grooming lineup.

📐 Zero hairline pushbacks and countless sharp tapers.

🪑 Clients walking in as strangers and leaving as regulars.

☕ Late nights, endless laughs, and constant growth.

🐢Sticking to shop SOP & struggling to keep up with amount of walk in traffic - that Melbourne Barber • Jaymz The Barber no longer accepting walk-ins.

Whether you’ve been coming to Silk since day one or you just picked up your first tub of styling paste this week... thank you for keeping this place buzzing.

We wouldn’t be standing here 2.5 years later without Carnegie supporting the craft.

2.5 years down. The best is yet to come. 💈

Thinking about making the jump from employee/commission to Chair Hire? AMA. 💈👇

A lot of barbers in Melbourne want to go out on their own, but get terrified of:
• Paying full rent while moving their book across
• Tax, ABNs, and EFTPOS setups
• Shop owners who promise walk-ins then take 50% of your ticket

I’ve been on both sides of the chair. Due to an injury, I’m currently stepping back from cutting at Silk Barbershop in Carnegie and handing over the floor for 3 independent operators on a stepped ramp-up lease ($200/wk start).

Drop any question below about:

How the math of chair hire actually compares to commission splits

How an 8-week rent ramp-up protects your cash flow

What you need legally (ABN, insurance, bookings)

No ego, no gatekeeping. Ask away in the comments or shoot a DM.

💈 SICK OF SHOP POLITICS AND MICROMANAGEMENT?

If you are an experienced barber who takes pride in your station, manages your own book, and shows up like a professional, you don’t need a “boss”—you need a chair.

At Silk Barbershop (Carnegie), we don’t do babysitting:
🚫 No forced opening hours
🚫 No split percentages on your retail or haircuts
🚫 No cash chasing on Friday afternoons

We provide the 5-star venue, studio hex lighting, and a stepped rent ramp-up. You run your business and keep every dollar you make.

💈 STOP LOSING 50% OF YOUR CUT TICKET EVERY WEEK.

Do the real math:
If you do 35 cuts a week at $50, you generate $1,750.
On a 50/50 commission split, your shop owner pockets $875 of your hard work every 7 days. That’s over $45,000 a year walking out your pocket.

At Silk Barbershop (Carnegie), we operate on pure Chair Hire:
⚡ Keep 100% of your takings & product sales
⚡ Set your own haircut pricing & operating hours
⚡ Automated direct debit—zero cash chasing on Fridays
⚡ Stepped rent ramp-up to buffer your move
