Our Story

Created for men. Built with heart.

Mens Body Works was established in Richmond in 2002 by founder Angie Macolino, with a simple but forward-thinking belief: men deserved a place where professional grooming, skin care, relaxation and genuine self-care could exist together under one roof.

More than two decades later, Angie remains as hands-on as ever—treating clients, supporting her team, developing new services and ensuring that the care and character behind the original vision can still be felt throughout the business.

Today, Mens Body Works is one of Melbourne’s most comprehensive grooming and day-spa destinations created around men. Our extensive service menu brings together barbering, hair and scalp care, body grooming, massag

e, advanced skin treatments, spa therapies and wellness experiences.

Men remain at the heart of what we do, with wome

n warmly welcomed every Wednesday.

Experience Makes the Difference

Alongside Angie is an exceptional team of  barbers, massage therapists, beauty therapists and day-spa professionals.

Every member of the team brings their own knowledge and skill, but they share the same purpose: to deliver considered, consistent and highly personalised care to every client.

Whether you visit for a quick haircut, a skin consultation, a massage or an entire day of treatments, you will be welcomed without judgement and looked after with genuine attention.

Step Inside and Leave the Outside World Behind

Mens Body Works combines the comfort of a first-class private lounge with the tranquillity of a grooming, wellness and recovery retreat.

It is a place where you can look after your hair, face and body—but also slow down, reset and take some time away from the demands of everyday life.

Our services can be enjoyed individually or combined to create a completely personalised experience. Come in for twenty minutes or spend the afternoon with us. This is your time, and we want you to enjoy every part of it.

A Personal Message from Angie

“We genuinely love what we do, and I believe that comes through naturally in the way we care for every person who walks through our doors.

I want to thank the extraordinary and hardworking women I am so proud to call my team. Their talent, loyalty and dedication have helped make Mens Body Works what it is today.

I am equally grateful to our wonderful clients—many of whom have supported us for over 20 years and have become part of the Mens Body Works story.

At Mens Body Works, you are a stranger only once. We look forward to welcoming you, getting to know you and making you feel completely at home.

Thank you for choosing and supporting an independent Victorian small business.”
