With a remarkable career spanning 20 years across prestigious hair salons and the contemporary barbershop movement, Rowan Duley's journey has taken him from New Zealand to New York, Berlin, and finally Melbourne.
Starting as a hairdresser and session stylist, Rowan developed a genuine passion for an effortless approach to hairstyling, coupled with a natural ability to make clients feel comfortable in the salon chair. Over the past 8 years, his pursuit of barbering has allowed him to expand his skillset, enabling him to confidently execute a range of styles, from cutting curly bobs to delivering classic fades with precision.
It was Rowan's diverse background that led him to identify a gap in the traditional hair industry's binary paradigm. Motivated by this realisation, he created Parker—a space that embraces his versatile expertise and caters to the needs of every individual, regardless of their hair type or gender, without the usual price discrepancies.
Parker represents a fusion of the finest aspects from both barbershops and salons. In Rowan's own words, it is simply a place where he cuts hair—a harmonious blend of skills and an inclusive environment where every client receives exceptional service.
