The Godfather Barbers - Ghuznee St: Reviews
Fantastic experience: I keep coming back - for ten years or more. They are well trained scissor men - not just clippers. They are really good at their craft.
Thanks heaps for the review brother! We love making you look sharp as a razor.
That zero fade with the flat (ish) top work like a charm!! Boom!!!
Fantastic experience: Great haircut from Rodrigo! He understood what style I wanted and gave me a haircut like I get at home from my longtime barber
Thanks heaps for the visit Omer! Glad we nail the trim brother!!

Thanks heaps for the review brother! Always fun to hang out and cut your hair.
Fantastic experience: I was referred to The Godfather Barbers - Ghuznee St by my brother, and I’ve been getting my haircut there with Rod ever since. The service has always been excellent. Rod is passionate about his work and genuinely cares about making sure you leave happy. He takes the time to understand exactly what you’re after and also offers helpful suggestions based on what suits you best. It’s always a great experience – professional, friendly, and consistent. Highly recommend Rod and the team if you’re looking for a quality cut in Wellington.
Thanks a million for the shout out Chris.

Thanks for the awesome shout out Bart!!
Always will be my favourite classic hairstyle ever! You lucky fella! X
Fantastic experience: I have no hair BUT I started taking my boy to Rod when he was so wee he had to sit on a skateboard, perched on the chair to get his groom. He learned a lot about life in that chair listening to the barber banter! He’s now 20 and a loyal Godfather client. Best cuts and crew in town.
Learned way too much I think Philip, I mean waaaay too much! Hahaha.
Fantastic experience: Best service in town! Plus the boys are always up for a good yarn! Highly recommend

Thanks a million for all the love Olly we love you back homie!
Fantastic experience: Been seeing Rod and the fam at Godfather barbers for at least 10 years now - Go check them out, can’t recommend them enough!
Much appreciated the amazing review Matty!
You’re part of the fam too homie!
❤️
Fantastic experience: The best barber in New Zealand. And i know what i talking about. FABIO SANTOS- ANDIS AUSTRALIAN EDUCATOR. And yes i wrote in capitals because i can. And to all these kids given 1 star review, you have no ideia how lucky you were to be served by them so. Too late mate. Plus competition gets jealous and do bad reviews aswell so.again. FABIO SANTOS - ANDIS AUSTRALIAN EDUCATOR. “Drop the mic”
Thanks heaps for the shout out my brother. That really means a lot! ❤️

Hey Christian! Thanks so much for popping this about Joe! He will be stoked
Fantastic experience: Top cut from Rodrigo great chat and a great fade
Kia ora Rainy, thanks so much for posting, so appreciate this!
Fantastic experience: I come here every time I visit Wellington and if I happen to be due for a haircut. Always had a great experience, barbers are super friendly and they listen to what you want. $50 for a decent cut and an eyebrow trim is very reasonable in this day and age. Had a great cut this morning, Lyall provided good yarns and is clearly a master at his craft. Hope to be back again soon. Cheers!
Hey Cameron, oh man awesome review. Thanks heaps for taking the time to post it!
Fantastic experience: Always perfect fades with all the boys at Godfathers. The whole team are A1
Thanks for the love homie!!
Fantastic experience: Great haircut, good banter treat yourself.
❤️
Negative experience: Horrible experience, 50 bucks for a horrible haircut, the hairdresser didn't listen to what I was saying, I corrected him several times and he ignored me with a sour face, telling me it is what it is, I paid for cordiality but I shouldn't have even said good morning.
I’m really sorry you had a bad experience on our shop bud.
Fantastic experience: Super friendly and quick service. Great having someone who takes pride in their job, shoutout Stewart!
Awesome Sam, thanks so much!
Fantastic experience: Epic Barbers. Great atmosphere and great hair cut! Highly recommend, Barber was a young guy called Aka
Thanks Alex, Aka will be super stoked with this feedback. Much appreciated.
Fantastic experience: Primo job on the skin fade Aka. Great attention to detail as always. Terima kasih! Catch you next time!
❤️
Fantastic experience: Only been here twice but couldn't be happier with the results. Very fair price for the services. Head is smooth and the beard is tidy, amazing.
Thanks heaps man!!
Fantastic experience: Went in for a quick trim, well priced and a great cut more importantly. Thanks legends
Thank you brother!!
Negative experience: No email back, website says closes at 7, turned up at 6 and got turned away
Hi Tcytel, our apologies for the inconvenience. We do close at 7, but if there are clients ahead of you on the board, we can't take any more bookings at that point, so that we can close the doors at 7.
Once again, apologies.
Negative experience: Just had the worst hair cut I think I’ve ever had. Seemed as though the barber did not listen to what I asked for at all. He cut it short when I asked to keep my length on top. The back and sides look so uneven and bad. The barber was nice but it feels like no effort was put into cutting my hair. can’t believe I just spent $50 on this.
Sorry you had a bad experience on our shop buddy.
Positive experience: As an older man that only needs a very basic number 3 all over this place was fine. I saw some very stylish cuts while I was there so I can only comment on my own experience. All in all a very satisfactory experience.
Appreciate the review and for coming in. Thanks Ken!
Fantastic experience: The barber was very nice. The whole shop had a very comfortable atmosphere with good music and a very creative design. The haircut was spot on to what I wanted! What I especially liked, was that he didn't cut too much in the back, so when it grows back, it doesn't look out of place, which was very considerate of him :D I would definitely recommend!!
Thanks so much for posting such an awesome review James. Heaps appreciate it!
Fantastic experience: Stopped in randomly and the bro said jump in the seat. Quick n easy fade, made it look easy compared to my usual. Keep up the good work
❤️
Fantastic experience: I live an hour away but I always go to these guys. It has a great vibe and they are focused on giving you a great cut every time.
Thanks heaps bud!! ❤️
Fantastic experience: Allways top notch service . Sometimes a wait at peek times but thats just a sign of good cuts making us come back.
Epic feedback, thanks heaps bro
Negative experience: 6:15pm? C'mon bros. If you're not going to stay open until your Google advertised hours then maybe put a sign on your door indicating the changed hours? It wasn't even 6:15pm when you turned me away. (FYI this screenshot was when I got home).
We close at 7pm not open until 7pm thanks
Fantastic experience: Best barbers I've found. Great team. Great style. My regular go to.
Ben thats an awesome post. Thanks heaps.
Fantastic experience: Good conversation and a great haircut. Chris did me justice
Oh man, thanks for posting. Chris will be stoked!
Fantastic experience: Great place to get a cut, barbers are experienced, and friendly. They know what's the best choice for your cut.
Thanks heaps for posting! We really appreciate your comments
Fantastic experience: Fast, professional, stylish. Many thanks to Stu.
Thanks so much Henry!
Fantastic experience: Went in having a mid length hair crisis, left without a cut, but instead with a damn good styling, tips and advice. Top tier service!
Thanks so much for the five stars!! We're stoked you had an awesome experience.
Fantastic experience: Rod and team are always cheerful and cheeky. They give their clients a lot of 1:1 attention and won't be rushed to achieve the right cut
Oh man, thanks so much for taking the time to post this Alethea!
Negative experience: Was in the shop today showed the barber a video of my hair cut I got last time but the barber hardly looked at the video and gave me a completely different hair cut it no fade just just really short hair to the long hair on top and cut the fringe off which I did not want to be touched sadly it is a amazing Barber shop I do not want to give one star but I feel inclined to because you ruined my hair it’s not the shop it’s the barber that did my hair all other barber are great at what they do
oh no Jevon! That sounds awful for you! Please come in so we can resolve this for you. We would really love make this better for you.
Fantastic experience: Great cut, great conversation, these guys are the best
Thank you heaps, Mike!
Fantastic experience: I had my hair cut by Rod, who did a wonderful job, great banter, decor & affordable, looking forward to my next visit .
Thanks so much for this awesome feedback, Amanda!
Fantastic experience: Ever since moved to wellys, I've been struggling to find a good barber. A family friend recommended these guys. And is the best haircut I've had yet. Highly recommend.
Thanks so much for posting this Andre!
Fantastic experience: They helped me realise I was bald.
Really appreciate the 5 stars Samuel!
Fantastic experience: Big thank you to Stu who gave my 7 yr old boy the exact haircut he wanted! He said "Stu does the sickest cuts" ✂️
Oo yay, such a great response! Thanks so much for posting Laura!
Fantastic experience: One of the best barbers in town. Place is chill, banter is awesome. Look for Rod- he’s a legend
Oh man, thanks heaps Raphael!
Fantastic experience: A+++ for kids haircuts! Got my toddlers first haircut here. The staff all helped him feel so comfortable and confident sitting in the chair plus he left looking amazing! Big smiles all round- we will definitely be back x thanks team!
Oh man, so cool! We're stoked your little man enjoyed the experience. Thanks so much for posting!
Fantastic experience: Phenomenal haircuts for a fair price and very likeable staff
Thanks so much for your awesome feedback!
Fantastic experience: The average cut my partner has gotten has been about $45 and always been good. The barbers are professionals and are always good to chat with even if not about hair. Because it's a walk in place you'll be waiting sometimes but if you have those expectations in mind it's really nothing to be upset about. I would recommend that if anyone who's wants a masculine haircut come here to become a new regular because they're very deserving of it. The atmosphere is also very friendly and it's overall a place I trust.
Hi Nora, thanks so much for your thoughtful feedback. We are so pleased you enjoy your time with us!
Negative experience: I have been four times. The first two times I got the same barber who was awesome. The next tho times a different barber and an uneven cut.
I’m sorry you had bad times on our shop bud.
You can always pick your favourite barber at the shop.
Just have to put the barber name in brackets next to your on the black board.
Cheers for the feedback.
Fantastic experience: Amazing hair cut. Fast, professional, and easy to talk to. Had a blast. Got a little nervous trying to explain what I wanted at first because it was obvious he knew more what he was talking about, but the recommendations have stuck and I do like them. Thanks mate!!!
Awesome, we are so stoked you got what you asked for. Really appreciate you taking the time to post about it!
Positive experience: Great vibe and customer service, however I feel as though if you have long hair possibly another barbershop/ hairdresser would be better.
Fantastic experience: Great service, nice staff, good price, really recommended.
Thanks so much Joao. You rock for posting!
Fantastic experience: One of Wellingtons best barbershops. Rod is the man and Lyell is the nicest guy you could meet! Go support!

We're really sorry you had a bad experience! Please email us directly at [email protected] if you would like to discuss this further.
Fantastic experience: Excellent staff, good haircutting skills
Thanks so much Lee!
Negative experience: I didn't end up getting my hair cut by these guys but this was my issue right off the bat. I was walking by the store at about 4:50 so just more then 2 hours before their closing time on a Tuesday afternoon and noticed that the sign had said that the store was still open. After seeing this I walked to the front of the store and took a seat with a couple other guys (maybe 3-4) I sat and waited for about 20 mins outside the store wondering why there was no chalk to write my name down for around 25 mins. Then when I asked where the chalk was I was quickly told that they weren't accepting any more hair cuts that night although the sign had said it was open? What's worse for me is that I would've been waiting until the end of the day to just have been told that they weren't gonna serve me. I think I'll pass from now on.
Hiya, I'm really sorry that wasn't communicated with you! If there are lots of names on the queue board, we will often not accept anymore for the day as could be unlikely we'd get through them all. Our super apologies for the inconvenience!
Fantastic experience: Lovely fellas, awesome service. Went above and beyond for my Son and I, we'll definitely be back. Thanks heaps!
Awesome, we're so stoked you had a great experience. Thanks heaps for posting about it!
Negative experience: So bad, the barber didn’t even listen to what I want and cut my hair 8 inches shorter than what I really wanted. He could tell I was disappointed. Then asked for full price afterward. Never coming back again.
Hi J.J. we're really sorry to hear you had a bad experience. Please contact us directly if you would like to have another barber look over your hair.
Fantastic experience: Awesome crew of barbers. The whole experience from writing your name on the chalkboard and waiting outside on wooden pews to the banter and stylie skills makes each hair cut with the Godfathers both unique and a real pleasure.
Hey Liesel, thank you for your kind awesome words. Means a lot!
Fantastic experience: Great advice and awesome skill. Stuart nailed it with time to spare. Legend

Fantastic experience: Lovely and best. Very friendly
That's awesome, thanks so much!
Fantastic experience: Too easy to book. On arrival Ben took the time to listen to my usual cut requirements and make suggestions. Cut was perfect, and completed with great chat and banter. I've rebooked, and would absolutely recommend (but only if you don't take my next booking spot)
Awesome review Scott! Ben will love this! Really appreciate you taking the time post this.
Fantastic experience: Popped into the Cuba Street location on the weekend and got a great cut by Ben, total professional with good chat so the time flew by. Would recommend to anyone in the area to pop by or book online for their next cut, good value and great service.

Fantastic experience: Best barber in NZ, hands down. I've been to many others but nothing comes close. Rod and all the lads are fully committed to their craft & quality.

Thanks so much for the great feedback Peter!
Fantastic experience: Great beard groom and friendly staff. Thanks guys!
Ace, thanks so much Cam!
Negative experience: $40 for the most average haircut I've ever received. Given to me by the most unenthusiastic barber ever, he looked like he'd rather be anywhere else than at his job. My hair looked ok-ish for about a day. Perhaps if they spent less time covering the walls with pop culture tat and more time on training their barbers, they'd know how to cut hair.
We're sorry you didn't have a great experience. Please contact us directly if you have any further concerns; [email protected]
Fantastic experience: Tops barbers with good chat. Will be back when in Wellington next time. Cheers.
Thanks so much Riki!
Fantastic experience: You'll probably leave feeling like YOU ripped THEM off. Always super friendly and chill. Well worth the wait and the price :) Thanks
Oh man, awesome feedback. Thanks so much Chris.
Fantastic experience: Nils is a top bloke who gave me a proper post lockdown haircut with out of the box chat. Many compliments for his work, will always return. Price is high but reflective of quality
Thanks for the awesome feedback!
Fantastic experience: Excellent service. Great guys, a great atmosphere and ended up with a superb hair cut. Highly recommended. Cheers lads. Steve.
Super stoked you enjoyed your cut. Thanks for the great feedback!
Fantastic experience: Best barber in Wellington, I live in Kapiti and am happy to travel over an hour just to have my hair and beard trimmed here
Thanks so much Andrew! Appreciate your support!
Fantastic experience: Skillful barbers. Nice atmosphere. Good conversation. My go-to shop this side of the planet.
Ace, thanks so much Daniel.
Negative experience: At the end of a haircut I asked the guy to do some fading (2 mins work) and He was like "It is a new hair cut all over again" Paid $40 for a $10 haircut. It is just my experience. Never ever going back there again.
Fantastic experience: Really impressed with The Godfather Barbers, there was a really cool vibe about the place and the crew seemed to get on really well. Guys were busy as soon as they opened and I can see why, this is the place to go in Wellington without a doubt. Cheers guys!
Appreciate your post and your awesome feedback! Thank you!
Fantastic experience: Awesome place.. Excellent haircut and very friendly staff ❤️
Appreciate the great feedback, thank you!
