Brothers Barber: Reviews
Fantastic experience: I have been going there from a long time now. Never had any issues.Lyds is best.
Fantastic experience: Friendly, professional and good prices
Negative experience: i got absolutely messed up. had to get it fixed a couple days later by a different barber, who asked me how i let myself get done like that. uneven fringe, uneven sides, no fade, cut the fringe like 3cm higher than asked.
Fantastic experience: Always like going here to cut my mess tidied. Really relaxed and love the hot towel.
Fantastic experience: Thank goodness I found Lyds! So good to have a barber who gets me and my cut. She provides the best of service, and some good conversation too :). Thank you!…….. Teresa
Fantastic experience: Awesome place. Defiantly heading back to get the boys haircut from Logan
Fantastic experience: First haircut in Whangarei, what a great find. Thanks Logan for a great cut and excellent service. I'll be back for sure.
Fantastic experience: Been going here a while now and love the booking system! So no waiting ages in a queue for a barber. Tk has been cutting my hair pretty much since she started here and she is brilliant, awesome haircut everytime and great attention to detail. Highly recommend TK!
Fantastic experience: These guys are amazing..! Easy to book and friendly team.
Fantastic experience: Finally managed to get here when it’s open. Did a great job with my son’s hair cut. Thanks to the barber of the day! Good cut price for a child.
Positive experience: Hair did by tk, will use again
Positive experience: I walked in off the street in September and Kotahi gave me a very good haircut, razor shave and hot towel. In January, I called in and I was unable to be served. No problem with that, but the two ladies present just told me to book on line. No attempt was made to make the booking there, or to provide any assistance, no card with website details was given. Not very personal service. I made a booking online and had to pay in advance. The service I had previously received wasn’t listed. At the time of the haircut, I did ask about a razor shave and was told that she didn’t do it, despite having 10 years or so of experience. Sad, that ‘barbers’ can’t / don’t do shaves. “Barbe” is French for beard. The haircut I got was fine. As an aside, my father, aged 87 booked last year, at Kamo. He arrived 20 mins late and was told that he’d missed his slot. At the time, he was in the early stages of dementia. Having booked/ paid online, he lost his booking and his payment. Pretty ruthless treatment of the elderly.
Negative experience: What terrible service I had today. I had a booked time for a haircut at 1.45, at the time the hairdresser was tending to someone else, 10 minutes rolls by and still haven't heard that the last guy was finished, so I ask the hairdresser if they had finished yet and they tell me "almost done, almost done". I waited back outside another 10 minutes, and FINALLY, it was my turn. 20 minutes after the time slot, I had booked, not to mention I had appointments straight after and a parking meter that was ticking by. I don't fully blame the hairdresser but absolutely shocking time management and time slots.
Negative experience: Do not grt a haircut here I went here today and I asked for a low taper and 1 inch of the top they took 4-5 inch even tho I said I would like less of the top and the Barber said no it's ok just trust me so I did and now I look like a egg
Fantastic experience: Go and have a cut with Vin! I was blown away by the professionalism and know-how of Vin - evident in the way he interacted with customers and other staff. All in all, the best barbershop experience of my life. I appreciated the quality of our conversation and his check-ins about my hair throughout the cut. Would definitely come back if I wasn’t leaving Whangarei soon! Bright future ahead for Vin I’m sure.
Fantastic experience: Had beard and hair cut by Vin at brothers barbers . Awesome haircut & beard trim Highly recommend . Definitely be re booking Thanks
Fantastic experience: Started taking my boys to brothers barbers late last year and have had nothing but positive vibes and experiences! Absolutely lovely woman in the bank street shop, and Shona has been nothing but sweet and helpful. Will never go anywhere else!
Fantastic experience: Great cut and super friendly staff. Thanks again!
Fantastic experience: The best haircut I ever had, cheers Ko Tahi
Fantastic experience: recommend vin for great cut and great conversation
Fantastic experience: Had a zero fade cut with Ko Tahi. He did an awesome hair cut that I am very happy with. He was keen to hear and listen to any style requests that I had and cater the cut to that. Would definitely recommend #sharpas
Fantastic experience: First time, I walked in without an appointment and Kotahi greeted me like a friend and did me straight away between bookings. Great service and great job.
Fantastic experience: Just had my ears lowered today with the new Barber Vin, nice guy, he’s going places! Great cut Vin!
Fantastic experience: Always have a great experience at the barbers. I've had Kotahi the last couple times, and he's done a magnificent job. Highly recommended.
Fantastic experience: They are always good with my five year old son.
Fantastic experience: very friendly staff!
Fantastic experience: Sarah is amazing, very lucky to have her looking after my mess every visit!
Fantastic experience: Kotahi has been my barber in Aus for over 6 years since i was in school and i watched his journey into the artist he is now. I am extremely jealous of the people in his new area that get to have him as their barber now. He looks after every need and makes sure everything is perfect with every cut. If you’ve got a spare hour and need a haircut i would hesitate to give this skillful barber a go
Fantastic experience: i am happy with my hair cutting from monu . Got it exactly how I wanted it even with my rough instructions and she didn't rush.
Fantastic experience: Normally I’m up at Kamo but booked in town with Kotahi for an urgent cut. I doubt he’ll be so available going forward because he’s an absolute killer on the clippers and is a solid dude in general. Pleasure to meet you bro - I’ll be back in town for my next cuts moving forward
Fantastic experience: Tino Teka ko Tahi did a wicked job, awesome Convo
Fantastic experience: Sarah great conversation and hair/beard cut
Fantastic experience: Really happy with my cut from Sarah yesterday. Got it exactly how I wanted it even with my rough instructions and she didn’t rush.
Fantastic experience: Skilled barbers and great service can't go wrong
Fantastic experience: Thank you to Piki who saved the day!! A stylish finish to my son’s haircut. It was last minute and Piki was fitted us in, so friendly and helpful! We will be back!!!
Fantastic experience: Great cut, excellent online book and pay, friendly barbers.
Fantastic experience: Lyds took both my boy's mops and turned them into stylish gents. What a great location. The scheduling option online was easy to use.
Fantastic experience: Good haircut, great friendly staff
Fantastic experience: These guys are artists.
Positive experience: My son found his usual experience a bit quick and just lacked some TLC from the business being so busy. The staff are great, I love that I can book it for him online, and he attends like any other scheduled appt. The main reason I am giving a thumbs down is because of the price ... OMG...$40 for a student, a 13 year old boy, that is half my shopping bill and felt for the service. This was not worth it. He didn't even get a hot towel wipe down, and due to being so small, their hygienic practices do need some training if you want a secured 40 bucks paid in advance. From his mama's perspective, it's always not short enought which brings us back there in a month. Working that out is 80 bucks a month. We are business owners ourselves and know how hard it is, but $40 covers an entire meal, and let's alot of whanau not endure this experience due to affordability. And what happens when the internet is down?? What is their alternative. I wonder if they ever thought of cultural practices around cutting hair being a sacred process
Negative experience: Worst hair cut I’ve ever had, they had no idea what they were doing and took for 45 mins just to cut my hair
Fantastic experience: Easy booking supper friendly staff and good eye for style!. Today's cut was great gain. 7th time I been (update I lost count) , and will definitely come back again. Eye for detail, making an old man look representable again and again...
Fantastic experience: Great friendly service, teenage son was happy with hair cut.
Fantastic experience: The staff here are awesome and they do great work! This is my 3-year-old son before and after he got his haircut
Fantastic experience: Excellent hair cut exactly as I asked for
Negative experience: Old review Nice people and so happy that you now book online makes it so much easier. (Was five stars) New review Was 5 stars now is 2 as is very expensive and always have new barbers every time I go. I now get an amazing hair for $20 which pretty much half price and a nicer haircut.
Fantastic experience: Great barbers and premium experience
Fantastic experience: Always great service for my son

Fantastic experience: Great staff, Aki is my favorite barber, really get the job well done.
Fantastic experience: Amazing
Fantastic experience: Not too expensive. Drop-in service rather than appointments. No dithering about, just getting a hair cut. Almost did my hair the way I wanted... That's less their fault and more that I've got problem hair.
Fantastic experience: Not often my wife loves my hair cuts. Fantastic job. Thank heaps Jo!
Fantastic experience: I have just received the best beard trim and haircut from Aki Outstanding attention to detail. Aki is a facial hair artist. I won't be letting anyone else touch my moustache!
Fantastic experience: Aki is awesome. Very professional. Gives great cuts. My son will only go to him now.
Fantastic experience: Awesome service, had lyds cut my hair and we chatted the whole time and I'm not one to talk much but she's so easy to talk to it's hard not to!

Fantastic experience: Arrived late for my appointment but they still accommodated me and did a great job in the 15 mins that was left from my appointment time. Highly recommend, heard about them at work and decided to try, had a great experience.
Fantastic experience: My one and only. The bro Aki lined me up real good at my last visit, however all the staff are pros at their craft. Gotta love that fresh feeling after that hot towel though.

Fantastic experience: Thanks for the hair cute Aki! very happy 10/10
Fantastic experience: Very good
Fantastic experience: The best barbers in Whangarei
Negative experience: needed a haircut today, heard good things about this place - went inside and said you need an appointment despite saying 'no bookings necessary', the guy said 'no availability, you need to book', asked when i could be seen he, said in 2-3 hours if you book right now. didn't return, i've just saw the prices online and is $48 for skin fade, can't believe it - wouldn't even pay that in auckland for a premium barber shop. extortionate.
Fantastic experience: Love getting mu hair cut here the booking system is great means no wasted time and is always a professional service
Fantastic experience: Very brofessional and awesome cuts!
Fantastic experience: Friendly staff, and reasonable prices for cuts. Wouldn't go anywhere else
Fantastic experience: Great cut and enjoyable atmosphere
Negative experience: Waited 48 minutes inside this shop for my son to get his haircut BEFORE we were told we needed to book online to get an appointment. (Signage in the shop stated bookings were not essential). I also explained I wasn't sure which service to book online (mainly due to cost...it was $35 for intermediate/high school or $27 for an undercut' so was waiting to ask for advice. The response was 'sorry we are fully booked and you needed to book online, we are booked out now' (this was at 2:08, we had been waiting since 1:20)...I explained we travelled from up north but was still turned away. Disappointed!!
Fantastic experience: Great cut and friendly service. I got lucky to get in because of a cancellation, so online booking is recommended.
Fantastic experience: Best barber ever
Fantastic experience: Great cut, great conversation
Negative experience: This place has definitely changed. The information here says no appointment needed. You get there 8am to get a haircut so you are 1st in and they say you have to book your appointment. They weren't even busy and simply refused to give me a haircut. I told them that I had called and messaged them several times but no reply, but they didn't care. Last time I went I was impressed, but this time their service was unprofessional and their service was rude and not caring. Their prices are twice as dear as other barbers and the service not even quarter as good. I informed them I would not be back and I would leave a review about them so as to warn others that this company is definitely not worth the money they charge. The staff are very rude and don't want to help. If there was a zero star rating I would have given them that. I suggest give this place a huge miss. You will be disappointed and feel ripped off.
Fantastic experience: Barbers there are helpful and know how to give the haircut your asking of them
Fantastic experience: After a disaterous experience at a hair salon i popped in to Brothers Barber to see if they could save what was left...haha! Minnie not only sorted it out but made it a fun as well. Cool shop and cool ladies who know what they are doing. Stoked i found you. Highly recommended Cheers, Ben
Fantastic experience: Premium cuts.
Fantastic experience: Minnie was awesome - excellent haircut and great barbershop
Positive experience: Friendly staff, not a bad wait but this varies, disappointing that a toddler trim was $25 though
Negative experience: Son needed a back to school haircut so pre-booked and pre-paid so we didn't miss out. Turned up at 2.30 only to be told the person I booked in with couldn't get in to work. If I was sent a cancellation text I would have had time to go elsewhere. Didn't seem to care.
Negative experience: Sign states no appointments needed. Turn up and refused a cut for another 2 hours as required an appointment even though there was nobody in store and were just cleaning their tools. Previously went to kamo store and hair be was butchered so thought we’d give the town store a go to no success. Will definitely not be coming back
Negative experience: Used to be good, but now a total disappointment (new owner maybe?). Raised their prices by 20% after the Covid 19 lock down. Helps customers at the back of the line instead of longstanding customers. Poor customer service and a dissapointment.
Fantastic experience: I took my 7yr old here (to Jason) he was fantastic, interacted with my son really well & the haircut (on tricky hair) is awesome. Highly recommended! Thank you :-)
Fantastic experience: Very happy and impressed with haircut. Received lots of professional advice and was very enjoyable. Thanks brothers, and thanks Jason Mcqueen for the awesome cut bro!
Fantastic experience: Many thanks, Keryn. Much appreciated. Blessings, Phil. P.S. Wife approves!!
Fantastic experience: Minnie and the team are just fantastic!
