Hailing from Brisbane's Fortitude Valley, The Emporium Barber migrated to Sydney and opened its Bondi Beach shop back in 2016. It promises 'the ultimate man's grooming experience', with premium haircuts and shaves ($45–65), facials, waxing and threading all on offer — along with Toby's Estate coffee while you wait. Those premium shaves include scented hot towels, pre-shave oils, shaving creams and aftershave balms, too. While they specialise in men's cuts, the barbershop also offers women's cuts for short-to-medium hair.

In addition to the actual grooming, the shop also sells hair care products, face masks, fragrances, beard balms and shaving kits. Set right along Campbell Parade, the barber is a prime location for quick freshening up pre- or post-swim, too.
