The Dog Box Barber Shop on High street

Fantastic experience: Shoutout to Loz!! Very diligent, experienced barber, reasonably priced haircut too. Can't recommend enough.

Fantastic experience: Came in for first time today and got a fantastic cut. I think the dude's name was Terry? Thanks brother! Will be back

Fantastic experience: Got an awesome haircut. Would recommend. 5/5

Fantastic experience: Great place high standard organised pays to book ahead

Fantastic experience: I stumbled across The Dog Box and now I’m driving much further from my old barber because I like this place so much. The whole place has a laid back, easy going feel, and Jason’s excellent as he’s always up for a good yarn and gives a top notch cut.

Fantastic experience: Mitch is the man. Had me looking on point for my wedding day. Ill be back!

Fantastic experience: Booked a way overdue haircut with Maximilian and walked away with easily the best haircut I’ve ever had. He was friendly and personable, and the haircut he gave me was exactly what I asked for. Will definitely be back!

Fantastic experience: Great crew and a great vibe, in a great central location. Shout out to Loz for being awesome and keeping me trimmed for several years now

Fantastic experience: Dropped in from out of town, managed to get an appointment and to say it was just a great haircut , skin fade n Beard trim wouldn’t be fair, the conversation was awesome and easy and l forget the young man’s name but he is married to a Aussie girl, he was fantastic , highly recommended and this will be l place l go out of my way to visit and get a trim.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been coming here for nearly 4 years now and it’s not because I have a go to barber or because of the price (though the price is undeniably great). The reason I keep coming back is simple, not once in all this time has anyone on their team messed up my cut. I’ve had it all done here from buzz cuts, mullets, skin fades, line ups, eyebrow slits, you name it, and every single time I’ve left feeling confident. They can be trusted with both long and short styles, no question. The atmosphere is just as good as the cuts. The barbers themselves are a diverse crew, each with their own style and stories, which makes every visit entertaining. Their fashion is always on point and matches the shop’s walls of fame, filled with skateboards, artwork, and other pieces that give the place a unique vibe. Overall: 10/10. Highly recommend

Fantastic experience: Meanest cuts

Fantastic experience: Amazing crew!!! Great beard trim!! Definitely coming back! Matt was awesome, super friendly and had a great pride in his work. Highly recommend this spot!

Fantastic experience: Always providing the best cuts in a friendly and stylish shop. The fades are on point and the beard trims second to none.

Fantastic experience: Best cut in town. hands down! If your hairline’s retreating faster than your will to work on a Monday, this is the guy to see. He’ll line you up so sharp it’ll distract from your midlife crisis. Yeah, he smelled like a pirate on shore leave , but hey — talent like this can marinate in rum and still deliver. Legend

Fantastic experience: Been getting cut here for around 4 years and always had a positive experience with all the barbers, music is always on point also. (shout out to Mitch for always having great chat and cuts)

Fantastic experience: After a long time using the walk in places and getting mixed results, I did some online research for a good barber at reasonable rates and landed on these guys. Initially was getting cuts from Sam who moved on overseas, switching to Matt in early 2025. Really rate the service and relaxed atmosphere, with really solid cuts from Sam and now Matt. if you are looking for a new barber, I definitely recommend giving Matt a go.

Fantastic experience: Thank you Matt for the immaculate fade.

Fantastic experience: Jason is the best barber I've ever been to. He provides consistently excellent haircuts, is a nice guy, and easy to chat with.

Fantastic experience: Amazing service and chat, got a good tidy up head shave and beard trim, Taiki took it to the next level with a warm towel and blade edge up. Will definitely be back

Fantastic experience: After 2 bad experiences at other establishments I booked myself for an overdue tidy up at The Dog Box. And I am so glad I did. Not only was the Dog Box a clean and aesthetically pleasing barbershop, but Mitch did an amazing job of taming my beard and got my scalp back to looking like a bowling ball ( which is what I requested). He listened to what i wanted and delivered this precisely. I also give Mitch 5 stars for Banter. No small talk about the weather or Sports which is a from me. I have found my new barber. I recommend you try them too.

Fantastic experience: Had a haircut with Brian today, he fixed up my last cut with a good chat and I walked out happy! Highly recommend Dog Box Barber Shop

Fantastic experience: I had a hiccup with a fade cut but was sorted the morning after straight away Thank you

Fantastic experience: A few months going and no a better place for a decent cut, Maximilian never disappoints

Fantastic experience: Always a great cut at The Dog Box. I recommend Sid highly. Really great cut and friendly personality. 5/5

Fantastic experience: I’ve seen this place a couple times by walking past but haven’t been in. Decided I’d try it. I had Jason, he gave me a great cut, gave me some tips and points to styling my hair. He had some great chats up his sleeve and was really friendly. Talked about how we could do the haircut and if it worked with how I wanted the hair to look. It came out exactly the way I wanted it to. I would recommend to anyone willing to try a new place, just make sure you know what you want first going in (as in what kind of style).

Fantastic experience: Sometimes when I get a fade at a regular barber's shop I feel a little like a lego man, looking like everyone else with a generic haircut. But when I come and see my brother Max, and let him do exactly what he feels is the right cut for me, I walk away feeling more like myself and I barely have to worry about taking care of my hair, because he knows exactly what he is doing! This man is pure precision on the snips at a level he doesnt even realise yet, and his team around him are almost as exquisitely top notch. Still the Best Chop in Town.

Fantastic experience: Have been coming here for a cut for a while now, great shop! Highly recommend Matt - did a terrific job today, looking forward to my next cut!

Fantastic experience: Had two boys hair cuts by Corey. What an awesome barber! Highly recommend

Fantastic experience: Just wanted to take the time to leave a review for Jason at High street. I have been going to him for about 2 years now and am moving overseas and am not sure how I’m going to cope. Absolute best barber and always feel 10x more confident after a cut from him. Highly recommend

Fantastic experience: Amazing place to have a haircut, friendly and listening. Thank’s Jason

Fantastic experience: Just had my hair cut and beard trimmed by Phoenix, he did a really good job, top quality service.

Fantastic experience: Always hospitable ,always reliable, always open. Of course you are going to use the crew and their cutting skills.

Positive experience: Got my fav barber. Nice atmosphere too. Middle of town means good luck parking

Fantastic experience: Just got home from a pre-wedding haircut by Syd and my fiance says it's the best fade she's ever seen. Edit: I've just seen previews of the wedding photos and I'm still stoked with the haircut.

Fantastic experience: Bryan cut my hair and he was fantastic! Great chat and knowledgeable about the best for my hair. I will definitely be returning.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been going to Jason for the last 8 months. And he’s never disappointed. One of the best barbers in Christchurch as well as a nice guy that’s easy to talk to.

Fantastic experience: 5/5 for Bryan. Great cut on our son, 4.5 years.

Fantastic experience: Always get unreal haircuts here. Shoutout Bryan, skin fades always on point

Fantastic experience: Highly recommend The Dog Box. Syd always does an incredible job at both cutting my hair and interpretating the vague descriptions of what I ask for.

Positive experience: Just walk in if you have to wait, can enjoy play-station till someone attends to you. And the guys know what they are doing.

Fantastic experience: Great hair cut and attention to deal with a solid plan on what I need to do to grow out a previous hair cut, thanks Nick!

Negative experience: Messed up my sides massively uneven.

Positive experience: ****Edit#2 I called the shop and owner ; Max assured me that a bad haircut is very rare from them. Max offered to fix the cut, but teenager wasn’t keen for this. Max has reimbursed us, which we appreciate. **Edit #1 to the person in charge of your Google reviews…Maximilian is it? I assure you I am real. I booked under my son’s name and our shared surname on your online booking service. The excuses to your poor reviews are a shame. Perhaps some reflection on your services are in order. I will now come in for my refund.

Fantastic experience: Shout out to Nick for the Amazing Cut and Convo, absolutely a down to earth guy who puts time and effort into every cut. Cheers Lad

Fantastic experience: Been coming here for almost 4 years and never had a bad cut. Great team of barbers, super friendly and will sort you out no problems at all

I wholeheartedly recommend Taiki to anyone seeking a professional and amiable barber in Christchurch.

Fantastic experience: Best cut in town. Great environment and the entire crew are all really good at what they do.

Fantastic experience: It is just good to feel welcome every time I am there. Cheers guys

Fantastic experience: Good haircuts and great chat from the dedicated team. Best advice is to try a range of barbers and pick a favourite.

Fantastic experience: A great barber shop. The barber, Jamie, did an absolutely stellar job servicing my unruly head of hair. Store decor is excellent, with countless pop culture and old school hip hop covering every wall (side note, Jamie is the only person outside of my friend group to recognise my MF DOOM ring, so bonus points for that) and a great hip hop playlist blaring through the speakers to top it off. Thoroughly recommend, they definitely know what they’re doing here.

Fantastic experience: Just landed from a delayed flight desperately needing a cut for a wedding, Jamie did me a solid and I couldn’t be more happy with the result. Great fade and beard trim along with atmosphere and art. I will be back when I return to Christchurch. 5/5

Fantastic experience: Son always looks dapper after having a hair cut with Jared

Negative experience: cheers for ruining my hair

Fantastic experience: if they book you with Jamie, don't waste your time. the guy can't keep to the schedule and don't seem to be bothered about it. Update: they reached out and offered a free cut. sweet, let you know how it'd go this time Update 2: Thank you Jared, this time it was great! 5 stars.

Fantastic experience: Yuri is really good

Fantastic experience: Best barbers in chch
