Hair Hunters Barbershop: Reviews
Fantastic experience: Love bringing my boys in the Hair Hunters, all the barbers are fantastic and so welcoming. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend the team.
Fantastic experience: Awesome place , went for a change in hair style and Ashlea did an awesome job
Fantastic experience: Great atmosphere, the guy that cut my hair/trimmed my beard was fantastic. Great banter and I had alot of laughs. Excellent job with the cut and trim. Highly recommended.
Fantastic experience: Really happy and satisfied with my taper fade haircut. Corbyn was really dedicated and it did exactly what I expected. 10/10
Fantastic experience: I've been searching for a new place to go to for a haircut since the guy cutting my hair for the last two decades retired. I booked in with Ashlea and it was excellent, she was lovely to talk to and knew what I wanted better than I did, I'll definitely be back
Fantastic experience: I was kinda new to Dunedin and looking for a decent barber. A barber that knows what your concerns are, knows the right cut based not only on what you’re trying to achieve but also on your physical anatomy of your head. Hair Hunters got the right perfect place.
Fantastic experience: Alex did a mean scissor cut, highly recommend
Fantastic experience: Ashlea took my mullet with a power rating of 5 on a good day and turned in into a solid 7 maybe 8 (the canvas wasn’t there for anything higher or I’m sure she could have produce a 10). Highly recommend talking to Ashlea if ever considering your first perm. She’s amazing.
Fantastic experience: Ash is an incredible barber and was very welcoming. Highly recommend :)
Fantastic experience: Awesome atmosphere and top quality barbers
Fantastic experience: Ashlea is an amazing stylist who delivers a superb fade and sets the vibe perfectly with her lovely music.
Fantastic experience: So good...experienced, competent and welcoming staff.
Fantastic experience: Ashlea was lovely and her music choices are excellent :-) Thanks so much for a great haircut experience!

Fantastic experience: Great spot! Ash was very nice and respectful
Fantastic experience: I’ve been having my haircut here since 2023 and I’ve never looked for others. They’re nice and they do good with your hair. Highly recommended.
Fantastic experience: My son enjoyed going there for a haircut they were very friendly and awesome with kids he can't wait to go back
Fantastic experience: I went in yesterday for a major haircut! I’ve had hair down to my shoulders (sometimes longer) for the past five years, and I finally decided to chop it all off. Naturally I was nervous about the whole thing, but the guy who cut my hair did a phenomenal job and left me with a great haircut! The price was very reasonable, and I was in and out in about 30 minutes. Great experience, and I cannot recommend them enough!
Fantastic experience: Took my son for a haircut today after trying a couple of different places and was very satisfied with the cut. My son is very particular about his hair and Brennan was wonderfully patient in trying to understand what he wanted. Overall it was a great experience.
Fantastic experience: Great haircut. Friendly workers. Cool atmosphere and vibe
Fantastic experience: Fantastic cuts for the boys (8 and 6). Cheers team.
Fantastic experience: Finn was awesome and gave me the exact cut I wanted, and Hayden also helped me with booking the appointment and it was an all around good experience. I will definitely come back for my next cut.
Positive experience: Good service and I liked the result!
Negative experience: Says it's open on Google. But they're not.
Hi Daniel,
I apologise that we couldn’t open today.
We made sure to text all clients that were booked in with us as a team member was off sick last minute and another is on leave due to recently becoming a dad.
With 5 barbers, this is the first day we’ve had to close unplanned.
Whilst I understand it’s frustrating I would like you to know that this was out of our hands on this occasion.
Please give us a message via Facebook or Instagram if needed.

To update, I don’t believe this warrants a 1* review and would ask you to reconsider.
Fantastic experience: Great service! Atmosphere was awesome and a really good beard trim from Charlie .. highly recommend!
Fantastic experience: Good cut, good quality and great price, highly recommend
Fantastic experience: Best Barbers in town. Very professional and have a high skill level
Fantastic experience: Just got a cut today finn cut it really well and added good texture to the fringe. He did exactly what I showed him which was really good great service will definitely come back here. I have quite thin hair and he did it very well
Fantastic experience: Good to find somewhere that's passionate about what they do
Fantastic experience: This is now my 10 year old's barber. Fantastic service, very skilled staff, relative and super easy to book. 10/10. Highly recommend
Fantastic experience: Experienced, friendly, and well-priced. I've been to my fair share of barbers in Dunedin, and Hair Hunters is the only place i've returned to - three times now (and many in the future). The barbers are obviously very experienced and that reflects in their consistency and professionalism. Shout out my boy Finn you the man
Fantastic experience: I tried a good number of Dunedin barbers before finding Hair Hunters. I’ve now been going for 5 years. I’ll keep going as long as the hair keeps growing. The kids love going too.
Fantastic experience: Great chat! Great Haircut! 10/10
Fantastic experience: Good haircut… nice yarn with staff
Fantastic experience: I've visited Hair Hunters Barbershop multiple times and each visit is better than the last. The barbers are particularly impressive—skilled, friendly, and open-minded, creating a welcoming atmosphere with great conversation. The clean and stylish space, combined with top-notch service and complimentary touches like a hot towel, make every visit a delight. Highly recommend!
Fantastic experience: Definitely the best haircut and beard trim in town!
Fantastic experience: Great haircut from Corbyn. And he's a lovely friendly guy. Will book another haircut with him soon
Fantastic experience: Awesome atmosphere, awesome blokes & awesome results each time. We happened across Hair Hunters in our search for a barber who could work with curls & we found them! Now a regular on their books, couldn't be more satisfied. Thanks guys!
Fantastic experience: Amazing team with a brilliant attitude—always keen and professional. This is the best barber shop in Dunedin! They offer great availability and a fantastic selection of barbers. I always make sure to try different barbers, and each one has been amazing. They listen to what I want, achieve fantastic results, and genuinely enjoy their work. I love going there! I'm terrible at remembering to book a haircut, but they send reminders to help me keep my boofy head tidy. I’ll always recommend the best barber shop in Dunedin—10/10!
Fantastic experience: Booked my partner in with Charlie twice now and he does not disappoint! We had an inspo photo and Charlie still asked alot of questions on what my partner preferred as well as had his own reccomendations and the results were 10x better than the inspo! Hair Hunters is well worth the 2 hour round trip and we will 100% be back again
Fantastic experience: Took my 5 year old in, was super quick, exactly what we asked for (cooler in fact), and affordable. Will absolutely be returning, cheers team
Fantastic experience: Great experience! Easy online Booking and i didnt have to wait. Really nice guys and really good haircuts. Will visit again.
Fantastic experience: Corbyn such a fun lad to talk to, will definitely come back again for the chat and 10/10 service! atmosphere was great and welcoming from all staff, very professional would recommend to anyone :)
Fantastic experience: Wee bit hard to find. Awesome place friendly staff
Fantastic experience: Awesome atmosphere, always a good chat with my barber Alex great guy, been there twice and both times walked away feeling great
Fantastic experience: Absolutely brilliant barbershop. It's the only place I go. You have your choice of barber when booking online, with pricing based on their level of experience. I always pick Brennan, and he has exceeded expectations each time I've been. I can't recommend these guys highly enough.
Negative experience: Went here not long ago, barber was sloppy and cut my hair unevenly with one side being longer ( even after I asked him to even it up) and had to fix it at home, paid for a skin fade and didn't even get one, saw my barber get kicked out the club two days later. If your going here you might as well pay the higher price for the specialists, don’t risk it if you don’t want to DIY at home.
Hi there,
Can you please make contact with us via our Facebook or Instagram page to share more about your experience.
I can’t see your booking based on your Google profile and would like to find out more details.
Thanks
Fantastic experience: Got a haircut from Charlie before an important wedding (waitangi weekend). Was very happy with the cut and style from Charlie, good conversation in good amount of time. Chill spot, cool dude, very happy with outcome. Booked in for another cut before another wedding in march
Fantastic experience: This is THE place to get your hair cut in Dunedin. Great crew, great cuts and great value. Next time you need a tidy up, check them out.
Fantastic experience: Super friendly, professional & welcoming crew, Brennan spins great yarns and gives great haircuts
Fantastic experience: Amazing cut today from Brennan! Friendly environment great yarns and highly skilled barber. Will be back!
Fantastic experience: Don’t usually leave reviews, nor did I usually get my haircut from here but it will be my go to place from now. Corbyn gave top service, was a really good chat and a positive person. I asked him to give me something new and he killed it. He finishes his apprenticeship this year, couldn’t tell the difference between my barber who’s been doing it for 15+ years and him
Fantastic experience: Had a booking with Alex, Very good atmosphere in the barbershop. Got a quality haircut, exactly how I wanted. Will be back again
Fantastic experience: The best haircut I got in NZ, Sweet place and people. Ask for Charlie he is the best
Fantastic experience: I just had an incredibly genuine and friendly experience with Corbin, the resident barber. He's an awesome guy with great chat, and I left with a big smile and feeling better than when i came in. An excellent skin fade and a fragrant hot towel for the face at the end. Though I'm from Auckland and only visiting for a mate's wedding, if I lived here, I'd definitely be a regular. The barbershop has fantastic vibes all around! Highly recommend for all ☺️
Fantastic experience: Gave my Grandson a much needed new haircut. Did a great job, looks excellent and for a very reasonable price. Also staff were so friendly and efficient. We will definitely be back and many thanks to Barber who gave my Grandson more confidence with a fresh and modern haircut.
Negative experience: I’ve had two hair cuts here, the first was someone who I guess was pretty new but was really inexperienced and just missed cutting parts of my hair so it was different lengths, the owner was quite nice and offered me a free haircut. (I didn’t take him up on this offer cause I was overseas for a year) Second one was a lot better but yeah still the first hair cut was not great
Hi Dale,
After our initial discussion last year I’m pleased you had a positive experience and chose to return.
The Barber that cut your hair last year was on a trial shift and did not meet our standards. We recognise and apologise for this and offered compensation for your unsatisfactory experience.
We have a capable, skilled team with proven experience so I am certain last years appointment was an exception. Our trial process assesses the skills and attitude of new team members with zero tolerance for a poor service.
Whilst your initial experience was disappointing I would ask you to consider a review based on our efforts to rectify the situation and the positive experience you had during your second visit.
Hair Hunters
Fantastic experience: Great haircut and chat. Very good at listening to what haircut I wanted and very friendly.
Hi Keltan,
Thanks for your awesome review!
I’ve passed on your feedback to Corbyn and appreciate you sharing your experience.
Hair Hunters Barbershop
Fantastic experience: Awesome haircut with Corbyn, very nice barber and guy!
Fantastic experience: My boyfriend goes here and loves every cut he’s had, the team are super friendly and the barbers know their stuff
Positive experience: Haircut was ok but I wonder if the hairdressser lacked confidence. It was a bit chopped up and uneven on the sides.
Fantastic experience: Enjoyd the haircut fun conversations the barbers there really know their stuff whatever you ask for you receive finished off with a nice heated towel on the face definitely worth the drive from oamaru my go-to from now on
Fantastic experience: Awesome atmosphere, friendly staff and skilled barbers! Great prices too
Fantastic experience: Got a skin fade, very high quality. Highly recommend
Negative experience: The guys are really cool and the place is really clean but the haircut wasnt good. Fade wasnt the best and this is the first time in my life that I see a barber using scissors on dry hair that has spikes I don't see how he can do something clean if the hair is in all directions.
Hi Karl,
Apologies for the delay in reading your review.
We are disappointed to hear you were left unsatisfied with your haircut. Our team put in their full effort and have the skills needed to deliver consistently great haircuts.
Regarding using thinning scissors on dry hair I want to clarify this is a industry recommended method and the barber made the correct choice, I am happy to point you towards the technical explanations of how thinning scissors are used.
I recognise that you aren’t satisfied with the cut you received and would ask you to contact our Facebook or Instagram page to compensate this.
We genuinely strive to be the best and recruit skilled barbers and implement training to ensure this is the case for all barbershop guests.
I look forward to hearing from you

Hair Hunters Team
Fantastic experience: I went into Hair Hunters after not having a haircut for almost five years, I had a good idea of what I was after but didnt know how to put it into words and I was insanely nervous about making such a big change. Finn was able to take my terrible explanation and a few references photos and give me exactly what I wanted. I left feeling insanely happy and more confident about my hair than I have even before my last haircut.
Thanks Calum!
We love hearing you had a great experience and have made sure to pass this on to Finn.
Thanks for putting your faith in our team, it´s no easy decision choosing a barbershop to trust with your hair.
