Paris Barber: Reviews
Fantastic experience: Got my haircut from Isaac. He was very precise, neat and had good conversation.
Fantastic experience: Was traveling and dropped in for a haircut with Isaac. He was outstanding. I wish I had a barber of his caliber in my hometown!
Fantastic experience: Excellent barber and lovely personality. All the best from Arne the Swede!
Fantastic experience: This is a delayed review, went here before Christmas. I was trying to squeeze in a haircut before a flight I had to catch. Originally when I walked in they said they had space in just over 30 minutes. When I came back they realised they’d made a mistake and didn’t have space for me.. so one of the barbers (apologies, I’ve forgotten the name) squeezed me in. I think he was due to leave at the end of his shift but decided to take me anyway. It was the fastest haircut of my life, he did a full scissor cut in 12 minutes… and the best part is, it’s one of the better ones I’ve ever had! So just leaving this here as a thank you, kindness doesn’t go unnoticed and I’m trying to pay it back (albeit belatedly) with this review. Thank you.
Fantastic experience: Walked in and Ben made me very welcome. Great haircut and advice. Very friendly. Thank you Ben
Fantastic experience: Raphael knows exactly what to do before you even suggest it - he has an intuition that many barbers lack, and that continues to guarantee that I come back here every time for a proper, good hair cut.
Great to hear this, we’re thankful for you.
Appreciate this very much Jackson !
Fantastic experience: Eli sorted me out with a fresh scissor cut today. My hair’s thick and wavy/curly, but he took the extra time to dial it in. You can tell he takes pride in his work and it shows. I’ll be heading back to Paris Barber for my next cut.
Fantastic experience: Love Paris Barbers. Bayan is the best barber I have ever had. Professional and friendly.
Fantastic experience: Very pleasant experience with a great haircut!
Fantastic experience: It takes a specific kind of bravery to face down a child with truly poofy hair, and Bayam didn’t even flinch. The transformation at Paris Barber was impressive to witness. We went from a chaotic cloud of frizz to something polished and intentional without losing the kid's personality in the process. Bayam clearly understands the craft on a level that goes beyond a standard trim. If you want a haircut that looks like it belongs in a gallery rather than a wind tunnel, this is the place to go.
Fantastic experience: Eli is the man. Best barber I’ve been to in years and I travel over water to get to his shop. Epic chat game. Knows what I want even when I don’t know myself. 10/10
Fantastic experience: Perfect styling by Raphaël in a pleasant, well designed salon. Extensive range of in-house designed products branded “Nuit Blanche”. Well done !
Fantastic experience: Dropped in for a beard trim. Super pleased with it. Can highly recommend.
Negative experience: My boyfriend had an appointment at 9:00 AM today. We stood in front of a locked door until 9:20 AM, then we left. That's completely unacceptable and extremely unprofessional. Not even a message from the barber.
Fantastic experience: 10/10 cut from Bayan. First time visiting and won’t be the last.
Fantastic experience: Raphaël is a master with wavy/curly hair. I've been coming to Paris Barber for years, and he always cuts my hair perfectly. If you want a barber who pays attention to detail and knows what he's doing, this is the place. He also got me on to the Nuit Blanche products which have been a game changer for my hair type. Great shop, great vibe !
Fantastic experience: Best haircut of my life with Eli. Such a relaxing time and a great job. I’m leaving Auckland but I’ll be back there for sure
Fantastic experience: Haircut was perfect, thanks to Isaac.
Fantastic experience: Best haircut I’ve every had - the owner Raphaël is an artist. Fantastic hair products available as well, made in NZ and well priced. Thank you.
Fantastic experience: Im a regular at Paris.Have seen a few great Barbers here.Currently having River sort my cuts but all staff have been top operators.Highly recommend this business.
Fantastic experience: Excellent as always, thanks Bayan!
Fantastic experience: Nice place. Great location. Issac was so professional and fun. Thanks Issac
Fantastic experience: Great service overall. No ego’s here. Listen to what your preference is and deliver results. Nice atmosphere with good music and friendly, experienced barbers Worth the price! I've been to around 10 barbershops in New Zealand and this is NUMBER ONE!
Thank you very much for your rating and review
Fantastic experience: Good people and great cuts every time. I’ve been to a fair few spots around the CBD and these fellas are by far the best I’ve been to.
Fantastic experience: Great cut and team very friendly. Thanks for your help. Highly recommend
We’re grateful for the trust Dan,
Thank you very much, see you again soon.
Fantastic experience: Amazing barbers. Perfect cuts, great service, and great chat. They perfect any style and actually take the time to listen and understand what you are after. Definitely Auckland's finest.
Thank you Kaartik!
Really happy to read this, much appreciated.
Fantastic experience: I always leave Paris Barbers feeling confident and looking sharp thanks to Raphaël. He consistently does an amazing job with my haircut, and it’s clear he knows his craft well. I’ve tried a few other barbers in the past, but I always end up coming back here because the quality and attention to detail are unmatched. Raphaël takes the time to listen, gives helpful advice, and makes sure the final result suits me perfectly. Highly recommend Paris Barbers if you’re after a reliable, skilled barber who truly cares about their clients.
Thank you Ash for your rating !
Fantastic experience: I’ve been going out of my way to see Raf and his crew for about 5 years, wouldn’t go anywhere else. Best Barbour in town.
Always grateful for feedback like this.
Thank you very much Grant !
See you again soon
Fantastic experience: Really cool barbers and cut my hair really beautifully, went overtime but free of charge and it was worth it
Thanks for sharing your visit George , much appreciated.
See you again soon
Fantastic experience: Always an amazing haircut - great atmosphere and Raphael does an awesome job
Fantastic experience: Raphaël is an amazing barber - amazing service and great people. The best haircuts I’ve ever had which is why I keep coming back!
Fantastic experience: Raphaël is the best in the business. I have both haircut and beard trims done. Even when I've changed styles, he gets it perfect every time. I would highly recommend him and the rest of the team at Paris Barber.
Thank you Jason
Fantastic experience: Raphael always does an excellent haircut and his professional and friendly approach is appreciated. Highly recommended.
Fantastic experience: Excellent service! Raphael and his team are very professional and courteous, and I believe they’re the best in town! The haircut was done exactly as requested — I highly recommend them.
Fantastic experience: I can’t recommend Eli enough - class barber. Before I started coming here, my trims were average at best. If you want a barber who actually takes pride in his craft, this is the place.
Fantastic experience: third time going, third time getting a trim i'm extremely happy with; complimented with good yarns from the boys. the only place i've come back to multiple times knowing i'll be happy with what i got straight out of the shop - they know exactly what they're doing and will do you well too
Appreciate you taking the time to share your experience with us, grateful!
Thanks for the trust, see you soon
Fantastic experience: Always a terrific cut and brilliant chat from Bayan
Thanks Grants for sharing your visit, appreciated.

Fantastic experience: Awesome skin fade from River, top guy
We appreciate your words Sam,
see you again soon.
Thank you
Fantastic experience: Fantastic experience. Will definitely be booking again!
Really grateful for your feedback Shanan,
Thank you, see you soon.
Fantastic experience: I’ve been going to Paris Barber for a while now, and I’m always impressed by how talented the whole team is. From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted with good vibes and real attention to what you want. The cuts are sharp, the service is smooth, and the atmosphere is just great. The boys know their stuff, whether you’re after something classic or a fresh update, they deliver. They’re great listeners but also confident with their suggestions if you’re open to it. It’s that perfect mix of professionalism and friendliness that keeps me coming back. They stock top notch styling products and are able to recommend best product for my hair. If you’re after a solid cut and a crew that genuinely cares, Paris Barber is it.
Fantastic experience: Been going for years. Had Eli today. Bro's a beast with them scissors.
Great to hear this, we’re thankful for you!
Thank you Charlie
Fantastic experience: Third visit to Paris Barbershop, and once again Raphaël delivered a perfect cut, flawless every time. He’s a master with the clippers, has a great eye for detail, and really knows how to style. Each visit leaves me more impressed than the last. I’ll definitely keep coming back and highly recommend Raphaël and Paris Barbershop.
Encouraging words like this mean everything.
Much appreciation, thank you Stephan !
Fantastic experience: Very nice and clean shop. The lads in there were very friendly and masters in their craft. Highly recommend!
Thank you Cayle, proud to have you with us!
See you soon
Negative experience: Friendly enough but overpriced. It cost me 90 dollars for a half done haircut and a beard trim. Be specific with what you want or they will half ass it and do the minimum. For 90 dollars you expect the full Monty. I felt ripped off personally and won’t be going back.
Negative experience: Beware - Walk-ins need not apply. My son and I were in the area midday and peeked in, place was empty, so we gave it a shot. The barber only cared to ask if we had a reservation. When we said we didn’t, he said we’d need to make a booking online. When I asked if he could help us make a booking (after all, he was sitting in front of the computer), he said he couldn’t (or wouldn’t??? … ). When you think of a person being described as going the extra mile, this would be the complete opposite. Totally uninterested in customer service.
Fantastic experience: Bayan did a perfect job, you could even say he was surgical. I'm completely happy with my haircut. And even with afro hair. Very nice, we had a good chat even with my poor level of English. I'll be back for sure!
Your support keeps us motivated, thank you Regent for taking your time on sharing.
See you again soon !
Fantastic experience: Bayan always does a good job, and I fully trust him and his work, he's always a great person for a chat and points of view. I will always recommend Bayan to others.
Honoured you shared your thoughts, thank you Kevin.
See you again soon
Fantastic experience: Great barbershop , friendly staff , really good haircuts
Negative experience: It’s deeply disappointing when a business fails to communicate with the very people who have supported it. Raphael, this is unacceptable — you should reflect on how you’re treating your loyal customers.
Negative experience: I walked into the barbershop and it was completely empty. I asked the barber if he could take me, and he said he was waiting for someone. I asked if he was sure the person was coming, and he replied, “I don’t know.” So I suggested I could wait, and if the person didn’t show up, he could cut my hair. His response, in a dry and unpleasant tone, was: “It’s your choice.” Terrible attitude from the start. No willingness to help, no courtesy. It’s a shame, because the place was empty and he clearly had no intention of working. Would not recommend at all.
Fantastic experience: Awesome experience overall, very professional yet friendly additude, managed to get my thin hair look so much better. Will be coming back!
Glad to know you left happy, thank you Solt. Much appreciation !
Fantastic experience: Eli is tops. Great haircut and conversation. Highly recommend!!!
Appreciate your words, very much.
Thank you Joel !
Negative experience: Had very bad experience today ,That was the worst hair cut ever , Bayan was rushing in hurry with my boy's for his hair birthday , and the result doesn't look like with the photo I showed him , even the beginner would do better , Sorry never come back
Fantastic experience: Really great haircut by Raphaël. I came in with thick long hair that passed my shoulders, and showed him a style roughly of what I wanted. He was very meticulous and took his time to shape my hair in order to do so. It was a great outcome. Thank you, and will be coming back again.
Much appreciated, we’re grateful for your time.
Thank you Andrez, see you again soon !
Fantastic experience: I'm very happy with my haircut. The hairdresser listened to my wishes and responded perfectly.
Honoured you shared your thoughts, thank you.
See you again soon Tom !
Fantastic experience: I have never had a bad cut or bad experience with Bayan. He's an awesome barber and I fully recommend him and all of the other barbers at Paris Barber!
Fantastic experience: River was great and gave me a perfect cut and trim.
Fantastic experience: Was a really pleasant experience. Bayan was such a great barber who cut my hair exactly how I wanted it. He was such a friendly barber who made easy conversation. Very smart and insightful guy, could have been there much longer just chatting. Highly recommend! Thank you
Fantastic experience: Quality workmanship. I had my beard cut by Raphael, the director. He's very professional and attentive. The result is more than satisfactory. I highly recommend him.
Fantastic experience: In Auckland for the weekend and popped in for a beard trim. Te did a fantastic job. Very happy. Hot towels are great pre and post shave.
Fantastic experience: Best barber in Auckland. Clean cut and nice atmosphere. I will definitely come again!
Fantastic experience: River slicked me up pretty good! 1st time through, he pretty much nailed exactly what I wanted straight off the bat. Will be back when I’m in town.
Fantastic experience: Always greeted with a smile & a hand shake & treated like "one of the team" Plus you get a bitchin cut #supportlocal
Fantastic experience: Best barber shop in Auckland city! Only place I go to get my hair done
Fantastic experience: Excellent cut and old school shave from River today. Definitely be back next time I'm in town.
Fantastic experience: Good place to get a hair cut, it has that ‘bother hood’ culture, the barbers are well dressed and professional. I do recommend it for a change.
Fantastic experience: You want the best cut and service in town ask for River-Jordan and have the number one haircut artist in town. Wouldn't go anywhere else for my do.This guy is amazing and has a really interesting story.
Fantastic experience: I walked in for a haircut and left feeling confident and great. The guy that did my hair did an amazing job deserving of 5 stars and more. Really friendly staff
Fantastic experience: River did an amazing job. Great staff, awesome atmosphere.
Fantastic experience: Inhwan was an amazing barber that took extreme effort and focus to trim my hair. Thank you for the amazing service you gave!
Fantastic experience: The korean guy helped me with my haircut issue from the previous barbershop nearby. He assured me he can make it work with how i wanted it to be. Too bad he will be gone soon as he will rellocate outside NZ. This will be my go-to everytime. And the whole team helps each other, and one assisted me to make sure i will have my haircut done despite not having any bookings. Kudos!
Fantastic experience: Such an amazing environment, I felt welcomed even though I'm from wellington. I don't want to risk spelling the gentleman from Jordan who cut my hair but he was sensational. I'll definitely be back everytime I come up to Auckland!
Fantastic experience: Let me tell you if you want to look clean and have one of the best haircut you will ever seen you need to book my brother bayan never disappointed and always comes through
Fantastic experience: I've been going to Paris Barber for over half a year now, and I've consistently left more than satisfied with my cuts. Bayan is hands down the best barber I've ever had. Not only does he know the best cuts to give for different hair types, but he's also just an all-around great guy. I can't emphasise enough how highly I recommend his services & Paris Barber.
Fantastic experience: Great place for a hair cut ! All the blokes are awesome and always welcoming , however T is my go to man ! Never disappoints and always gives good suggestions based on the client’s natural hair style ! - best barbers on town
Fantastic experience: Best Barber in Auckland, top quality and consistency in every cut. I got thinning on the top and it can be pretty easy to mess it up but Raphäel gets it right every time. Cheers boys!
Fantastic experience: Open on a Saturday. They take credit card which is a big plus. Solid staff that have been there for some time which highlights that it must also be a good place to work. Has been my go to for years now.
Thank you very much for your feedback and rating
Fantastic experience: Great barber in the middle of town. The guys here are beard artists. Great service, quick and friendly. Definitely go here for a cut or trim if you're in Auckland. Highly recommend.
Fantastic experience: My favourite barbers when I'm in Auckland, great skin fade and beard trim and shave
Negative experience: Horrible. Possibly the worst haircut i’ve ever had, barber didn’t even look like he cared. Basically chopped my hair away with his eyes closed. Never go here.
Fantastic experience: Fantastic mid taper for my son by the Korean barber. Precision, style, and a friendly touch – couldn't be happier! Definitely will come again. Thank you!
Fantastic experience: A great wee barber shop tucked away on Shortland Street. Go see River if you are after a good haircut. This man is hands down one of the best barbers in Auckland
Really grateful for your feedback, thank you lots Alen. See you again soon!
Fantastic experience: Awesome spot!! They accommodated us via walk in. It was an emergency as we were on tour! Naughty by Nature!!
Fantastic experience: River was perfect. A true professional and master at his craft. He not only gave me one of the best haircuts I’ve ever had, but conversation as well. The shop had a great vibe and everyone was very friendly. Highly recommend.
Fantastic experience: Booking on line was a breeze, service was excellent, my husband got the hot face shave, head shave and a beard tidy up. Raphael was very professional and the results were amazing. Thank you for your service and friendly welcoming into your business!! Definitely recommend these guys.
Fantastic experience: It is always great to have my haircut done Paris Barber. Have been going back consistently for more than a year now and love the results of the skilled professionals every time. I have got my hair done by Inhwan and Te Ata and both are great and have had quite cool conversations during the haircut as a plus.
Fantastic experience: Made the choice to cut back to a short hairstyle after 3 years and inhwan did an amazing job offering suggestions! Much appreciated, will be back!

Fantastic experience: Bunch of awesome guys doing what they love. Fantastic. Only place I cut my hair.
Fantastic experience: INHWAN is a great barber, professional, always consistent top quality, best haircuts ever. Never been happier with his work.
Fantastic experience: Inhwan not only cuts hair well but also skillfully finds and delivers great styles, and he is friendly
Negative experience: Had a woman cut my hair. Asked for a high 0 fade... simple. Wasn't even faded, wife told me there's patchy spots at the back, and uneven. And I was charged $60. Shouldn't have paid even if the haircut was $10 I trusted this place as I'd come before so I didn't check the haircut after. Yeah. Never going back.
Fantastic experience: Go see Inhwan! Professional, efficient, and gives a great cut. Walked in off the street and was sat within a minute. Inhwan listened to what I wanted and got to work. Haircut came out great! Unfortunately, I’m just visiting town, but this would be my go-to place if i lived locally.
Fantastic experience: Super fast, friendly and professional, my 13 year old fussy son was so happy with his haircut, will definitely return. River was the stylist.
Fantastic experience: Excellent and super relaxing experience with Bayan. He was very accommodating having not made a booking on a Sunday, had Jazz music playing and gave me an A+ haircut. Thanks Bayan, will be back!
Fantastic experience: This is the place you want to be to feel your best. Thank you for an awesome haircut and very professional services. I will definitly be coming back.
