Old Dogs Barbershop: Reviews
Fantastic experience: Great haircut. Great service + prices. Will come again.
Fantastic experience: Great place, very friendly staff!
Fantastic experience: Great price and great yarns.
Fantastic experience: Been there twice now, amazing. Absolutely amazing, they LISTEN! Best haircut in town, cheap too! Don't be discouraged because one is a Woman, she's so damn good man! So is the other fella who did mine again today, can't wait to go back.
Negative experience: Unfortunately this barbershop is not trans-friendly. When I walked in, one of the staff members looked me up and down and responded to my greeting with "we don't cut long women's hair here" in a tone that felt condescending. I currently have a mullet that is barely chin length at the very longest and usually maintain it myself with clippers, but was looking for a professional to redo my edges etc. I tried to explain that I was looking for a short clipper cut and that I had had my hair cut here some months ago (maybe on that occasion my too-feminine voice was acceptable - as a side note the haircut I received then was uneven). At this stage I did not feel comfortable stating I was transgender. She looked sceptical and initially declined, then said "well go on then" but at this stage I felt very unwelcome and left. I do not enjoy leaving negative reviews on local businesses but feel it is important for other transgender or butch people looking for a barber to know they will not be welcomed here.
Fantastic experience: Outstanding customer care. High quality barbering
Negative experience: Closed early after I called and checked what time I can come.

Thank you!
Fantastic experience: Always thoroughly impressed with the way Seth styles my hair. He has excellent attention to detail and is a great all-round dude too! Would highly recommend.
Thank you! Appreciated
Fantastic experience: I've been seeing Seth for haircuts for years now, and can't recommend him more highly. Not only does he know what best would suit my hair, but he is a technical wizard in sending me home with a cut I'm always proud of! Best beard shaping I've had too! 5 stars :)

Hi Jackie and David… thanks for your kind words, most appreciated
Fantastic experience: Great place great atmosphere
Thank you!
Negative experience: The lady who cut my hair didn't listen to what I wanted and was aggressive with the way she cut my hair, argued with me told me to "let her do her job" and disrespected what I wanted. Not what I expected as a customer. Absolute shocking and never coming back. This is not a reflection on the entire store, just the person who cut my hair.
Sorry to hear this, the barber could see what you wanted but also saw this was unattainable,sometimes what we want and what the hair will allow us to do can be different in the occasional cases , this is definitely not the character of our barber and sometimes the experience of the barber is more valuable in what they can see is possible to do even if a customer thinks other wise.and listening to the barbers advice is positive thing
Fantastic experience: Fast efficient service
Fantastic experience: One of best barber shop around. has new owner she has change shop made it look so more modern with wooden design wall
Thank you!
Positive experience: Excellent quality of services .. but waiting queue is longer sometimes ✅ well experienced staff and just 20$ for haircut . No appointment… Highly recommended
Hi Nanda.. thankyou for recommending us!
Negative experience: It was always good experience with the one who used to run the shop and got retired recently. However my last two visits were not so great , the expressions and body language of the lady who cut my kid’s hair were a bit rude and not friendly… not so welcoming place anymore
Sorry to hear this,but unfortunately this is one side of the story, come back again with a more relaxed attitude towards our barber and the experience will be different.
Thank you
Fantastic experience: Got my hair cut today was so good and the atmosphere is good . Amazing job thank you
Negative experience: painfully uneven haircut
Fantastic experience: Easy walk in service
Fantastic experience: Great prices, good banter great people.
Fantastic experience: A great spot for a haircut. No appointment is required, but be prepared for a wait if the queue is long (which it can be, this is a popular barber). Barry and his friendly staff will take good care of you without gouging your wallet. A+
Fantastic experience: Great team, classic NZ local barber experience
Fantastic experience: nice professional service with great price
Fantastic experience: Son got a great cut for a very fair price, thanks!
Fantastic experience: I'm a regular, always get a haircut I'm happy with. plenty of banter as you wait your turn.
Fantastic experience: 10 out of 10
Negative experience: Not great for beard shaping. Wanted a sharp look, and lost 4 months of beard growth
Fantastic experience: Great barber, with very good service ...Only downside is the queues if your in a hurry due to being busy One thing I wish they added into their service was potentially using straight razor blades (flip open type) to trim/ finish the edges around sideburns, ears and around the neck - I really miss that from another barber in Auckland and it was the tipping point that showed they care about the details If they did that i would come back every time even though they are an hours drive away from home
Fantastic experience: Awesome place for haircut, I go there for more than 6 years.
Fantastic experience: Consistently excellent, bargain haircuts!
Fantastic experience: Great guys
