Cuba Barbers

Positive experience: 5 for the cut and efficiency, 3 for the service. Very grumpy and like he rather wanted to be anywhere else

Fantastic experience: One of the best Barbers in the city. Plenty of babers available, get the job done nicely and great at following instructions as to how you want your haircut. The space is also really comfortable with loads of plants to keep you chill

Fantastic experience: Been here 3x, with 3 different barbers. All were excellent. Nice premises and quick service. Perhaps a little pricy at $50 for a gents cut, but worth it. Handy enough to parking.

Fantastic experience: Second time I've been here to get my hair cut and I couldn't be happier. As someone who is nonbinary, it can be hard to find a place where I feel safe & respected and where my wishes for a men's haircut aren't questioned. Thank you Maui for delivering spectacular results

Fantastic experience: Got a nice haircut and a beard trim :)

Fantastic experience: Very happy with my hair cut done by Khemchik. He truly put in so much effort to ensure I was getting the cut I wanted and overall made it a great experience. 10/10 will be returning for the next one and will be recommending to others.

Fantastic experience: Been getting my hair cut here by Khemchik for 2 years. Always happy with the result, the place has a nice vibe, and the price is pretty decent. Highly recommend!

Negative experience: Deeply unsatisfied messed up my haircut the Asian dude Very disrespectful Not gonna go again

Fantastic experience: Had a beard trim here from the owner, top man.

Fantastic experience: Great experience with Cuba barbers, Maui gave me a great burst fade, I shall be back!

Positive experience: lovely place for jazz concerts, solid choice of drinks, good wibe

Fantastic experience: My barber was incredibly friendly, stylish and had an overall good vibe. Hair was cut to my liking, music was great and I will definitely be going back

Fantastic experience: Full hair cut and beard trim from Tui. Put your trust in this guy. Listened closely, interpreted exactly what I was after, with clear communication throughout. Couldn't be more stoked with the execution. Highest possible commendation. Thank you!

Fantastic experience: Top service as always

Negative experience: Absolutely terrible experience. This is by far the worst haircut I’ve ever had. The staff were unprofessional, rude, and clearly had no idea what they were doing. I showed a picture of what I wanted, and what I got looked nothing like it. My hair is uneven, messy, and it honestly looks like it was done by someone who had never cut hair before. I paid money to leave feeling embarrassed and angry. I would never recommend this place to anyone – avoid at all costs! Ich wurde gebumst.

Fantastic experience: Very good place, friendly, chatty, and great cuts

Fantastic experience: Awesome place and cool vibe. Got a fresh burst fade cut from Māui the barber. Will defs go there again

Fantastic experience: Super friendly and consistent.

Fantastic experience: Thankyou Cuba Barbers for a wonderful experience Tui was amazing, professional, procise and very skilled with warmful banter, the best haircut I have ever had x

Fantastic experience: Love this place, Michael and his staff are awesome, friendly, chatty, do a great cut and good for a lark!!

Fantastic experience: Great haircut. Nice place. Short wait.

Fantastic experience: I was really happy with the experience for my sons first hair cut he's 1. He was super wriggly and cried but the lady said how about I sit in the chair with him and that helped him heaps settle more. I think she did awesome for a wriggling little toddler was calm and patient with him and I loved his look over all. I didn't realize how upsetting it can be for a toddler to get a hair cut yet they were so professional. I was super happy with the outcome I think the lady did the best she could for someone who could not keep still she would go to snip and he would move she was gentle and took her time with him. She did exactly what I asked for, and achieved the look I was hoping for. I was happy as a walk in they could fit my son in 30 minutes later. I don't know much about prices but I was super happy with what I paid as I was expecting it to be more. But over all great experience for how they treat little ones.

Fantastic experience: Great cut, thanks for the work Jessie and cheers from Switzerland :)

Negative experience: Worst haircut ive ever received

Fantastic experience: Matt gave me the best cut I’ve had in years. 1st time there n definitely gona be a regular. 10/10

Fantastic experience: Michael is a fantastic guy and barber

Negative experience: Edit re: owners response. You’ll see this is my first 1 star review so not often a complainer. Customers will see you clearly don’t care. Was being nice by not mentioning you needed to cut my hair Michael and did the bad job. Overpriced. Was put with some sort of trainee that did a horrible job and I still had to pay full price. Maybe they’ve gone downhill since moving locations. Avoid going here if you actually care about your hair. Should’ve walked out without paying. They were clearly over working for the day anyway despite still having booking times available later than the one I chose. Be ware before booking. Also another barber was dancing around the shop and yelling during the cut. Everything about Cuba barbers screams lack of care.

Fantastic experience: Best fade in town, with the bonus ability to book

Fantastic experience: Always a great cut in a place with a friendly funky vibe, a reflection of Mike the owner. Highly recommended.

Positive experience: Khemchik did a really good job w a mid/blowout taper, design on the back a lil thin but rlly happy w everything else

Fantastic experience: Amazing haircut, friendly staff. Would go again.

Fantastic experience: Had to get a haircut at super short notice for a meeting. Barber did a solid job, while letting me sit in (desperately needed) silence and get my top fixed. 10/10. Rest of the staff were very friendly too :)

Negative experience: Barber was 15 minutes late for the appointment. Yet 2 other walk-in clients were taken through before me. Was not even acknowledged. Terrible service. Won’t be coming back.

Fantastic experience: only had to wait 10-15mins for a cut as a walk in. Good vibes. Maui knows how to cut, mean as burst fade and a student discount. too good.

Fantastic experience: Have seen Maui multiple of times and even ditched the barber I’ve seen for the past 10 years. Always takes extra care making sure the fades are lined up and blended well. Always follows through with exactly what I want and have recommended him to many of my mates + work as well. Dont know what the negative review about but bro was probably smoking something. +++++

Fantastic experience: Got a haircut from Jessie today absolutely stoked, I’ve never had her before but she had great chat and service definitely would recommend.

Fantastic experience: Favourite barbers by far, well done team

Positive experience: January 2024. Grabbed a quick haircut from here. My haircut was ok, rushed by the bloke who served me and not the best haircut, to be honest. $45 NZD I will go across the road next time.

Negative experience: Booked online and barber didn’t show up for work!

Fantastic experience: Maui is a great guy and skilled!

Fantastic experience: This is a very good spot with a great staff who have fantastic service. It is a super cool vibe and most of the barbers also have musical careers. If you need a haircut, give it shot. Great cuts, service and music.

Negative experience: Been there a year ago, had a great haircut. Came back today, had the worst haircut with ugly contours. I will have to go elsewhere to save the carnage.

Fantastic experience: Michael gave me a great cut, great chat and went above and beyond customer service wise.

Fantastic experience: Awesome! Get in there and cut it off! Batch

Fantastic experience: Tui is hands down the best. Love coming here and Michael the owner always keen for a chat

Fantastic experience: Great cuts for all ages

Fantastic experience: Finally found a place I can get a consistently great haircut every time + great people + atmosphere & coffee!!

Fantastic experience: First time customer: I needed somewhere in the city open on a Sunday. All the staff I encountered were friendly and welcoming. I can highly recommend Maui: he really listened to what I wanted, checked in with me at each stage to make sure I was happy. He did a great job. I don’t live in Wellington but I visit for work. Would def book in again next time I’m down.

Fantastic experience: Great price, cheerful barber, very happy with the cut and advice.

Fantastic experience: Friendly and super talented staff. Became my go too after 2 visits

Fantastic experience: Great guy doing great cuts

Fantastic experience: As a woman I feel super comfortable here and the staff are always very friendly, Thank you izaak for always giving me a good service !

Fantastic experience: Great service and cut. Thanks!

Fantastic experience: My hairs a curly Grey headed mess. The guy who cut my hair today was awesome as. If I could remember his name I would say get your hair cut from this dude.

Fantastic experience: Still one of the best Barber Shops in Wellington. Great vibe from the Barber dudes and girls. It's great that they offer a booking system as well.

Fantastic experience: Solid scissor, clipper and razor work got me an a-list skin fade mohawk. Add good vibes, hip tunes and the convenience of walk in haircuts and I'm a customer forever!

Fantastic experience: Wonderful staff with a terrific, welcoming atmosphere. Will def visit regularly ☺️

Fantastic experience: Great atmosphere and nice friendly staff. Nice and easy to book a time slot online. First class barbers in a relaxed and fun environment. Children friendly.

Fantastic experience: All legends with steady hands. Respect you guys for taking your craft seriously

Fantastic experience: Awesome cutting for my son's hair; even the chat was awesome. Reasonably priced, and looking forward to coming back, maybe even for me, and most certainly for the bar later on ...cheers

Fantastic experience: A close shave and a cold beer. Love these guys.

Fantastic experience: Coolest barber shop in town.

Negative experience: Wow! Worst $45 haircut I’ve ever had. Disclaimer, I had my hair cut the previous week but my hair grows fast so I wanted a fresh fade for my course on Monday. The barber gave me an average zero fade which was barely noticeable from my last cut. I also told him to keep the top tidy and do whatever he thought would be appropriate based on my hair type and head shape. The barber just hacked at the top. I have curly/Afro hair, so an experienced barber knows not to go short. What did he do? Cut it long enough to tell I have nappy hair and short enough that I can’t style it. THEN, he had the audacity to take the cape off before boxing me out. I said “uhhhh are you gonna box me up?” He didn’t seem to pleased. He did a few scrapes to the forehead and that’s it. I thought, ummmm okay that didn’t feel like a full fade/cut experience? Surely he’s gonna charge me $15-$20 he hardly cut any hair off. NOPE charged me $45!!! Definitely not going back. The positive however are; he seemed like a nice guy, the shop is clean, tidy and setup well.

Fantastic experience: I had my hair cut by Tui today. He did a great job and listened to what I wanted. 10/10 give the man a raise. Super happy with my haircut, will definitely return for the next one

Fantastic experience: Mike's got a real cool scene going on at this shop

Fantastic experience: Great atmosphere, friendly staff

Fantastic experience: Absolutely amazing barber, as soon as ya walk in, you will feel like ya in ya own living room! But with a bar and an amazing bunch of people. Tūī was amaze, knew exactly what I wanted. Ya can be an introvert, and still get drawn into awesome convos, good movies, and wishing ya haircut was not done yet haha! Will def be back! 5 stars! - definitely do book online. - Dave

Fantastic experience: I am so happy with my hair cut today by Tui. He is friendly skillful and listened to my request. Price was so reasonable. Highly recommending!

Fantastic experience: Love this place! As a queer woman, it can be hard to find a good barber but I have always felt very welcomed and comfortable here. Always someone with a smile to greet me and the cuts have been great. Love the new place too - great atmosphere!

Fantastic experience: This is the best place to go if u live in Wellington the people are so nice and the vib is real nice with the music and the atmosphere. I really suggest this place

Negative experience: I visited here from Auckland whilst I was on holiday, as my hair wasn't surviving the Wellington wind. The person that cut my hair was very disinterested in me, chatting to his colleague the whole time. Additionally, my haircut felt rushed and when I checked it later on that night, there were a few areas that I had to touch up myself with some scissors because there were some long strands waving about. Lastly, he didn't brush the small leftover hairs from my face (I had to ask him if he could brush them off as I was leaving the chair). Then to top it off, the price was very expensive for the experience I had (my Auckland barber charges $10 less) - I had expected more. Anyway, maybe I caught the barber on a bad day, as there seem to be plenty of positive reviews. All the best

Fantastic experience: Love this place so much. I refuse to get my hair cut by anyone other than Hollie/Oli now, they do such an amazing job every time. Best fringe cuts I’ve ever had, and I’ve had so so many. Great student prices, and they always make me feel welcomed and comfortable.

Fantastic experience: It’s my first time to come here and I was in awe by the good interior and tidyness of the shop plus the staff are so friendly specially Michael he’s the one who did my haircut and it was perfect and taking his time for the shading. I will highly recommending this barber shop!!!!! Simply amazing

Fantastic experience: In and out like a flash, friendly helpful staff. Had a good chat about synths. Top marks.

Fantastic experience: Always a pleasure to be here. ✌

Fantastic experience: This place has a "buzz" (pun intended) and is a fun place. Been going here for years and always enjoy it, even if I am 40 years older than most of the staff. Funky decor, contemporary music and a typical "Cuba" atmosphere. Booking on-line simple. Recommend it for any cut, I have been there with the other gender getting a detailed cut also, so feel free Women to try this place out for a cost effective option.

Fantastic experience: Always been meaning to go there. They were very busy and I was a 'walk in'. They squeezed me in and I came away really impressed. Head shaved. Tidy up beard and edges. Made moustache look sharper.... without loosing shape (really important as it is my trademark). Will be back. Great vibe. Friendly crew. Great music (smattering of Massive Attack amongst other great tracks)

Fantastic experience: Super friendly staff. Happy to take walk-ins, gave my 73yo dad a student discount which was very cool.

Negative experience: Whats the point of getting people to make appointments if you won't stick somewhat to the time. Won't bother coming back.
