Best Haircuts in Darwin, NT
20 Darwin salons whose own websites or booking menus offer haircuts, ranked by Starworks reputation score. No business can pay to be listed or ranked.
The short answer
As of October 2026, the three highest-ranked of the 20 Darwin salons whose own websites or booking menus offer haircuts are Helmet Hair Studio (4.8 stars from 214 Google reviews), Fuse Hair and Beauty (4.8 stars from 116 Google reviews) and Castle black hair studio (5.0 stars from 41 Google reviews), ranked by Starworks reputation score.
Starworks holds 46 rated hair salons whose own address is in the City of Darwin, leaving out listings Google files as barbershops. We read the websites and booking menus of 24 of them; 17 have no website of their own on file and 5 sites could not be read, so those 22 salons cannot appear on these pages.
Every listing quotes the salon's own website or the booking menu it links to, read on 17 October 2026. Google ratings and review counts are Google's, as Starworks holds them; the Starworks score is the same one shown on each salon's score page. No business can pay to be listed or ranked.

How this list is made
- We start from every rated hair salon on the Starworks directory (Google category hairdresser or hair salon) and place each one by the postcode in its own Google listing's address, or, where the listing has none, the one Northern Territory postcode its own website prints. Darwin here means the City of Darwin, by the postcode in each salon's own address: Darwin City (0800) and the inner, northern and eastern suburbs (0810, 0812 and 0820, with their post office box codes). Palmerston, Berrimah, Holtze and the rural area are not included. Listings Google files as barbershops are left out; barbers have their own list. 18 Northern Territory listings carry no address we could place.
- We read each salon's own website: the home page and up to eight of its pages about services, menus, prices, colour, cuts, styling or the salon itself, never blogs, reviews, galleries or shop pages, with robots.txt respected. We also read the online booking menu the site (or its Google listing) links to, when the booking venue is that salon by name and the menu can be read without running the booking page's scripts: Kitomba booking pages, Fresha venue pages and Square Appointments pages that robots.txt opens to us.
- A salon is listed when its own words offer haircuts: a full sentence about its own services, an item on its own price list, or an item on its booking menu. The line is quoted with a link to the page it is on. A review, a sentence in the first person singular (read as a review), a product for sale or a job ad does not count.
- The order is the Starworks reputation score (from the Google rating, the number of Google reviews, a website and a phone number: the same score as every Starworks list and score page), then the number of Google reviews, then the name. Nothing else changes a position. No business can pay to be listed or ranked, and nothing is placed by hand.
- A page is published only when at least three salons qualify.

Questions about haircuts in Darwin
Where can I get the best haircut in Darwin?
As of October 2026, the three highest-ranked of the 20 Darwin salons whose own websites or booking menus offer haircuts are Helmet Hair Studio (4.8 stars from 214 Google reviews), Fuse Hair and Beauty (4.8 stars from 116 Google reviews) and Castle black hair studio (5.0 stars from 41 Google reviews), ranked by Starworks reputation score. Each listing on this page quotes the salon's own website or booking menu.
How much does a haircut cost in Darwin?
Five of the 20 listed salons print a price in the line we quote, as of 17 October 2026. Helmet Hair Studio: "Mens Cut, $70 to $85"; Tenda Salon: "Fringe Cut $20"; Larkspur Hair Studio: "Clipper Cuts, $40"; Hair By Mel: "Style cuts / restyle $40"; Darwin Hair Collective: "CUT ONLY, $50". The other 15 do not print one there. These are the salons' own published prices, which can depend on hair length and stylist; confirm when you book.
How is this list ordered?
The order is the Starworks reputation score (from the Google rating, the number of Google reviews, a website and a phone number: the same score as every Starworks list and score page), then the number of Google reviews, then the name. Nothing else changes a position. No business can pay to be listed or ranked, and nothing is placed by hand.
What counts as a salon offering haircuts?
The salon's own website has to offer haircuts in a full sentence about its own services or on its own price list, or the online booking menu its site links to has to list it. Each listing quotes that line and links to where it was published. A review, a product for sale or a job ad does not count.
Can a salon pay to be listed or to rank higher?
No. No business can pay to be listed or ranked on Starworks, and nothing on this page is placed by hand. A salon is listed because its own website or booking menu offers the service, and its position comes only from the published order.
Does this include Palmerston?
No. Darwin here means the City of Darwin, by the postcode in each salon's own address: Darwin City (0800) and the inner, northern and eastern suburbs (0810, 0812 and 0820, with their post office box codes). Palmerston, Berrimah, Holtze and the rural area are not included. Palmerston's hair salons are ranked on the Starworks Palmerston hair-salon page, starworks.com.au/best/hair-salons/palmerston.
My salon offers haircuts but is not listed. Why?
The list is built from what each salon's own website and booking menu say. 17 of the 46 Darwin salons Starworks holds have no website of their own on file, and 5 sites could not be read. If your site does not name the service in a sentence about your services or on a price list we read (a sentence that says "I" is read as a review), or your salon's Google listing is outside the City of Darwin, it will not appear. Say it on your site and it is picked up the next time the list is rebuilt.
How often is this list updated?
This list was built from the salons' websites as read on 17 October 2026, with Google ratings as Starworks held them that day. It is rebuilt from scratch, by the same rules, whenever it is updated.
