Positive experience: Great service Well be back
Fantastic experience: Great staff and great service
Fantastic experience: Friendly staff, great service and good value! The team at who’s ya barber offer not just great hair cuts, but the place is a vibe. My son got his first haircut cut there when he was a 1 year old and is still going back 9 years later
Fantastic experience: Recently moved to Hamilton 7 months ago and I’ve been to 3 different places because I’m quite picky with haircuts. This is officially my spot. Who’s ya barber? - Vanessa’s ma barber. So glad I found this place and she gets it right every time.
Fantastic experience: MADD props to new guy Ethan - incredibly nice guy and great character - listened to all of my requests and readjustments (I can be a very fussy customer haha sorry bro) but he pulled off a great cut with my hair which can be quite difficult - I'm very happy, he was fantastic!! Love the shop, A+ to you Guys
Fantastic experience: I went in not entirely knowing what I want. I showed Ethan some photos and he gave me a style that looked amazing. He did a great job and I defiantly will be back for my next cut
Fantastic experience: The best place for little kid’s haircuts! From the fire truck seat and costume to the first haircut certificate, it’s a 10/10 service. Having your toddler’s hair cut can be stressful, but the staff here really try to make it easier. I really appreciate the toys and bubbles my son gets to help distract him.
Fantastic experience: The music's not too loud. The lady barber was excellent. $35 cheaper than most these days.
Fantastic experience: Excellent barber. Jr was quick and very skilled, he is one of the best barbers I've had. I highly recommend Who's Ya Barber.
Fantastic experience: I'm sorry I didn't catch your name but the heavily tattoo's chick in there, thank you. I can not express my appreciation enough for the service you provided, the conversation and the experience. You helped me with the cut I wanted with my terrible explanation and your connection is next level compared to any other barber I've been too. 666 / 10 A+++
Fantastic experience: Best barbers, always take the best care of your customers
Fantastic experience: Excellent service! My son has autism and does not like people touching him but the lady barber was phenomenal. She put him at ease and made him feel comfortable. She’s now the only barber we take him to.
Fantastic experience: Great shop. Fairly priced and a great service. Trent is the GOAT and is why I keep coming back.
Fantastic experience: Took our son for a first haircut, they were really friendly and accommodating, even though it wasn't easy. Thank you!
Fantastic experience: Absolutely amazing. Ann-Marie was amazing with my 5y old son. Talked him through the whole process an had the patience of a saint. Lol. Az he was a happy handful. Thanks so much. You made me a very happy stressless mum an a very happy kid. Who said in the car to me she's a very lovely beautiful lady. Thanks for making our experience a great one.

Fantastic experience: I’ve taken my son here twice now- he’s 14 months old so these are his first haircut experiences. Both times we’ve had amazing service from the staff, they have been so patient with him and so accommodating. Thanks team for your efforts we look forward to seeing you again soon
Thanks for all the lovely stars Kate , it’s as important to us that this is always a great experience and memory ..
Fantastic experience: Great place, friendly staff, fair prices. A good experience everytime.
Lovely review thanks heaps Josh much appreciated
Fantastic experience: Took my 15 month old in for his first hair cut they did so so well with him. Love the certificate too
Perfect outcome thanks for your review
Negative experience: Went for my sons first haircut as this is supposedly one of their "specialties". I understand it can be hard cutting a wriggly, upset childs hair, however it was so rushed with little patience or empathy for him. We were barely acknowledged by the stylist (with not a single word spoken to my son) and I was criticised for picking up and comforting my child before we had started, being told "you've just made it worse because now he probably wont sit back down". When I asked if I could hold him while his hair was cut to try make it less traumatic for him I was told no. The end result is a very uneven haircut and a traumatised child (and mum!)
Fantastic experience: Best cuts in Hamilton, make sure you asked for junior of you go there
Fantastic experience: Great service, just always busy! Be sure to call well before showing up to ensure they can squeeze you in

Awsome thanks heaps cohen we give u 5 right back
Fantastic experience: This is the most interesting barbers in Hamilton - maybe in New Zealand! I've been going for years and have always been very satisfied with the service, the haircut, the chats and the price. I've even been known to hang around afterward to finish a game of noughts and crosses or to read the labels on some of the tapes on the wall - ahh, the memories! Awesome place - highly recommended.
Thanks for the awsome review David
Fantastic experience: Really happy with the cut and service from Junior he is the man. Made me feel comfortable and offered advice on were to go with my style and what to ask for next time.
Awsome thanks for the feedback and all the ’s Samuel
Fantastic experience: Great with little ones - my 18month old has had a few haircuts with them. Cute wee fire engine seat and matching smock, plus some toys or tablet to keep kids distracted
thanks heaps Bridget ..
Fantastic experience: We drove from Cambridge to get our 15 month old his first hair cut today as other mums had recommended this place for babies haircuts ! Although our son cried most of the time, and it was so stressful, Anmol was so nice and patient with us. He let us take lots of breaks and tried to think of ways to help us distract him. Also love the ‘first haircut’ certificate with his lock of hair and photo. Will be such a lovely keepsake ! Will come back for future hair cuts for sure (if you’ll have us) haha! Thanks so much again !
Thanks for the lovely review Kiana, I promise it gets easier as it’s now a familiar place for him , patience really is a virtue when dealing with little ones ✂️
Fantastic experience: Awesome staff with truck loads of patience for kids. Wonderful with our boy who took a few attempts to get his first haircut. Great haircut too
Thank you for the ⭐️’s we hope to see you again soon
Negative experience: Dreadful experience as the barber doesn't really know how to communicate with the customers, being rude and use of swear words.
Yeah and sometimes it’s difficult for us to communicate with customers that don’t speak very good English!
So in future show a photo of what you want done because that’s the reason there was a “swear” word
He may of come across as rude but you were being disrespectful !!
Fantastic experience: Took my son in for his first haircut - he didn’t really play ball but shout out to Trent for being so patient with us and still managing an awesome haircut even with my kid leaning into me the whole time
Patients is a virtue with little ones especially for us but it only gets easier from here on
Negative experience: Do not recommend! Did an absolute awful job of my sons first haircut. The lady doing the cut was lovely, the first haircut certificate was great but the result was dreadful. His hair was wetted and combed down. Once home we noticed how bad it was. It was cut with just a razor, no scissors even though I asked for a scissor cut. Nothing was even. Huge chunks of his hair are missing, long on one side short on the other. A bald spot above his ear. Looks very bowlcut - I could have done better myself. Very disappointed as we had family photos the following day and he sat so still for the lady cutting his hair. Called to let them know my disappointment and manager never called me back. Took to another local barber to fix, they were shocked at the state of his hair and did their best to atleast make it even!
Fantastic experience: Great place. Always my regular
Fantastic experience: I recently had the pleasure of visiting Ann Marie, a remarkable female barber who not only possesses exceptional skills but also proudly showcases her artistry through her stunning tattoos. As a woman in the barbering industry, Ann Marie breaks barriers and brings a fresh perspective to the craft, her presence in a traditionally male dominated industry is refreshing and empowering Ann Marie's attention to detail and ability to understand and cater to individual preferences were truly impressive and has a genuine passion for her craft. Loved my cut and will definitely come see Ann Marie again . Highly recommend.
Thankyou for this amazing review ..
Fantastic experience: Best place for a cut, Great vibe 10/10
Fantastic experience: Great experience. The atmosphere was incredible. Cut was something completely different. They were supportive and encouraging. Very impressed.
Thanks for the ⭐️’s Stacey ✂️
Fantastic experience: Anmol is Awesome he has great customer service and is always asking for feedback on how the haircut looks and would highly recommend him to cut your hair as well as all the Who's Ya Barber team Great Service and that is why I go here
Thanks for all the ⭐️’s Brenden
Fantastic experience: Alwin was my barber did an excellent job happy as, sorry if I spelled your name wrong bro. Good you can phone before you go there on the same day Good service
Awsome thanks heaps for the ⭐️’s and your feedback ✂️
Fantastic experience: Anmol was great. Quick accurate cut, great style and friendly. Who's Ya Barber delivers a good cut once again.
Cheers Brett much appreciated for all your ⭐️’s
Negative experience: First time trying this place and I really wish I didn’t. Indian guy gave me something completely different from what I wanted after being clear about it and cut my hair way to short from the get go. I drove all the way from coromandel for a job interview that day as well so yeh, stoked ♂️ Plus the haircut styling is really not it.. looks like my friend cut it..
Hi Callum I’m really bummed to hear this happened, I’d love to offer to fix it up or give you a free cut but you don’t live here .. I hope you get the job
Positive experience: Visited the first time as my son had come from Auckland. Did not have a booking, but was very accommodating. Nice and clean, friendly staff, liked the decor. Better to do a booking.
Thanks for taking the time to give us some⭐️’s Collin
Our system works well with the team and clients, no bookings just ph on the day that suits and get your name on the daily list
Negative experience: This place used to be good. When it was good, the kids and I could all get our haircut at the same time, which worked out great for me. It used to be very friendly and used to do nice haircuts. Now, they no longer do female haircuts (although you can get a tattoo instead). I called to see if we could come in that day for a haircut and they said no, it's too late, but that I could come tomorrow. I said great, see you tomorrow (note that they did not say anything about appointments). We go there the next day and they say, sorry, we're booked, you should have made an appointment. That was very frustrating. Why didn't they tell us this when I was on the phone with them the day before. Anyway, we left and are not coming back.
Fantastic experience: I always bring my sons here, love the atmosphere and customer service. Always happy with the end results.
heaps for the ⭐️’s
Positive experience: From my 4 year old: Good, I don't want them to have more people cause I like MY barber
bless him .. all tell him we quite like 5 stars ⭐️
Positive experience: good service but the barber done made me minecraft steve bro what is thisssss
Fantastic experience: We go here often now and our 3yr old gets the best service! The gals and guys here are super friendly and efficient. They have an ipad for the kids to watch so they dont get restless during the cut and have a cool firetruck booster that makes the kids feel really cool. Our son loves sitting in the chair and talking to his barber mates. And our son always comes away happy and looking so spunky.
Thanks for the lovely review ✂️
Fantastic experience: Paula and her team are always friendly, welcoming and very professional not to mention very good at cutting hair.
Thanks Jordan for being such a loyal client and mate of ours ✂️
Negative experience: Didn’t give me what I asked for one of the worst haircuts I’ve ever had cut way too much off
Fantastic experience: I recently had the pleasure of getting a haircut from Anmol, it was one of the most professional experiences I've ever had at a barbershop. From the moment I walked in, Anmol's friendly demeanor and clean, well-organized workspace set the tone for a truly outstanding visit. Anmol has a clear passion for his craft, and it shows in the attention to detail he gives to every aspect of the service. He took the time to discuss my desired hairstyle, offering expert advice and recommendations based on my hair type and face shape. This personalized approach made me feel confident that I was in good hands. During the haircut, Anmol displayed exceptional skill and precision, using a combination of techniques to achieve the perfect look. The atmosphere in the barbershop was both relaxing and professional. I appreciated how Anmol engaged in friendly conversation throughout the session, making the time fly by while still focusing on the task at hand. I can highly recommend Anmol and Who's Ya Barber to anyone seeking a highly professional and pleasant barber experience. Their expertise, dedication, and genuine care for their clients makes them stand out. I can confidently say that Anmol's Barbershop is the place to go for top-notch service and a stylish new look.
Thanks so much for this review Daniel Anmol is another great asset to the whosya team , for a small business having our clients spreading the word is very much appreciated ✂️
Fantastic experience: Great barbershop, good barbers, awesome atmosphere, good family spot
✂️smiles
Fantastic experience: Had taken my toddler here for his third ever haircut. The barber cutting his hair was patient and great with him, considering he was constantly moving and fidgeting in the chair. The chair and fireman cape was a hit. Definitely Recommend.
✂️
Fantastic experience: Awesome place for hair cuts. They fitted me in less than 24hrs of asking. Staff were pleasant and friendly Ann Marie did my hair she was awesome and easy to talk to and did exactly like the picture I used for reference
Fantastic experience: They did the most awesome cut on my daughters hair as most salons couldn't go the style she wanted, the hairdresser was so good with my daughter and took her time to talk with her on what style she wanted as she's going on 14 that's important. Tysm I'll be in again in a few weeks
✂️
Fantastic experience: First time using this barber as it came highly recommended by a friend. My son was super nervous at the start but the lady we had was Super amazing with him! He got his first buzz cut at 3 years old and he looks so good! I could not be happier and highly recommend!!!
Thanks for taking the time to write us a review glad to hear your happy with our service
Fantastic experience: Legit best place to goto ever. Nobody has been able to give me the undercut I was after. My boy was pleased with the service also. Shot Team!!!
Awsome thanks for the review Ashley ✂️
Fantastic experience: Absolutely amazing for my scissor-shy preschooler. Take the time to show him everything and talk him through it and do a really nice job of his cut. Always a great experience.
Thanks Fiona for the lovely review ✂️
Negative experience: I loved this place for my kids hair and use to get my hair done in the ladies salon out the back. Now they closed the ladies salon and there's a tattoo place in there, I won't back as I don't want my young kids entering a tattoo shop. Really disappointed as it was a great barber.
Sorry to hear your disappointment but the ladies salon was closed as it wasn’t generating enough buisness.. and btw the tattoo studio is shut off to the barbershop so you can’t enter it anyway
Fantastic experience: I don’t even write reviews. Let alone get hair styles much but the lovely wahine that’s about to have another baby gave me a bit of a rev up and ended up with some hair that I’m stoked on. Chur!
thanks for the Awsome review I’ll make sure Kayla knows her rev up worked a treat ✂️
Fantastic experience: Best place in Hamilton for the whole family. Never disappointed. Just a question, do you guys do cut throat shaves or clippers only for the face?
Thanks Noel for the
Yes we do but not everyday , just depends which barbers are on that day ✂️
Fantastic experience: Made feel at home and put at ease. Lovely staff
Aw thanks Trish ✂️
Positive experience: Decided to try this place for my kids because our usual one has closed and this one had good reviews but unfortunately we were left disappointed. Asked for cuts longer on top, short on the sides (but still wanted the top cut). The sides look good but the tops appear to hardly have been touched and are uneven and choppy. Unfortunately my husband (who took them) said it was hard to tell at the time because they'd combed their hair over at the top and it was wet at the appointment, but when it's sitting naturally it doesn't look great. (Please note this review was obviously made after discussing with my husband what he asked for and even showed a photo of a previous cut from our regular barber)
Hi I’m sorry to hear this , if the hair was combed over on the top your husband probably asked for a comb over cut ? My barbers always do a consult before cutting and always ask the parents or child if they are happy , if there is any issue we will fix it for you , we do have great reviews yes , so please don’t judge this experience or my buisness based on something that happened when you wernt even there , I’m happy to organise getting them fixed for you , wish you had of made contact in other ways instead of publicly, this would of avoided you getting the wrong idea of WYB and only giving 3 ⭐️
Fantastic experience: Amazing service, always welcoming and great haircuts.. kids friendly . Great job guys, highly recommended

Well that’s all positive feedback thanks heaps Ian for the ⭐️‘S
Fantastic experience: I live in ChCh but discovered Who's Ya Barber 4 years ago while working in Hamilton. I love the vibe and decor. Had a great chat with the owner about the playlist on Spotify and the rabbit hole that Spotify encourages...and the resulting discovery of new music. So back in Hamilton last week, had to go for another visit. Nice banter and hot towel to finish off. Still 100% recommend.
Haha that bloody rabbit hole , I remember our chat thanks heaps for all the ⭐️‘S hope we see you again soon in the tron ..
until then stay safe , laugh lots and enjoy our playlist
Fantastic experience: Good place for a cool hair cut , great customer service too

for taking the time to give us all the ⭐️’s Ayesha
Negative experience: Who's ya barber? More like who's going to bully me tomorrow. I had one day left to cut my hair before I got in trouble, So I thought hmm why not try who's ya barber. I was wrong... I arrived at school with my hairline pushed back further than my father's coffin underground. Reading other reviews to figure out how others experience I found out someone turned out like a mutilated troglodyte, to make matters worse I found out that the owner didn't respond well to constructive feedback. I will not be returning as this store goes against every moral I portray. I felt as though the owner put me in a chairand spat on my face. I feel devastated and most importantly betrayed. Who's ya barber, more like who's your killer, as my heart is broken, 1 star is generous as I will never be looked at the same again by my beautiful widdow mother. I now feel like my father who is 6 ft underground.
Ok who are you , why have you made a fake profile and told absolute lies about my buisness, not cool at all
Fantastic experience: Absolutely the best place in town! Paula is fantastic and my son loves her! Always has so much fun while she cuts his hair! Will never go anywhere else
Thanks Megan for giving me all the ⭐️‘S
Love him right back
Fantastic experience: Great place would highly recommend! You comeout looking &feeling brand new, they were things to keep him busy & happy (U5)So happy, cheers guys!
for all the ⭐️‘S
Fantastic experience: Love the team at Whose Ya Barber - we take our 3 year old there regularly and by now Paula has watched him grow for the last 12 months :) they’re so patient with him and understanding when he picks a bit of a tanty (as toddlers do!) but the staff are amazing and he always comes out looking an 11/10!
Sophia it’s our pleasure always watching these little ones grow and getting to know the family’s .. for taking the time to write this review
