Fantastic experience: Best in the game, best in papamoa, highly recommend
Fantastic experience: Jeremy does an incredible job and is a true asset to your team. Can’t recommend him enough. Thanks team.
Fantastic experience: Barber Toms always provides excellent service and great haircuts. My two boys and I have been coming here for a while, and we're always happy with the results. Friendly team, great atmosphere, and consistently top quality. Highly recommend!
Fantastic experience: Took my 2 boys ages 5 and 7 here. It was fantastic! Highly recommend, definitely coming back. Amazing service and skills.
Negative experience: im not a very happy mumma right now third time out of about 6 times my child has come home not loving it like he should he be looking like a cracked egg with a crookered teke fringe.
Fantastic experience: Very skillful barbers
Fantastic experience: The cut from John was great. Very professional and attention to detail. Thanks.
Fantastic experience: i walked in with no booking, asked for a beard trim and i was in a chair within 30 seconds. the barber - Anastasia - was very thorough, detailed, she took her time and made sure i was happy with the result. the only direction i gave her was to make it look tidy - and she certainly succeeded to do that. ive been to a few barbers in the area, just for beard trims, and this was by far the best. the cost was $30 which is slightly more than some other places, but i was more than happy with the result. thank you, i will recommend this barber to anyone looking for a quality cut and friendly service.
Negative experience: I'm sure the cuts are fabulous... but the booking app didn't work for me so I can't be bothered wasting time turn up and being turned away.
Fantastic experience: Hubby, my son and me all LOVE Jess. She gives the best cuts in NZ!

Fantastic experience: Best Barber I've ever been to. Finally, someone who listens and takes on board what I'm trying to convey. Jess was the person cutting my hair and its the first time in years I've walked out of a barbers happy. Thank you P.s the coffee ☕️ thats at the front of the store is , they also do Macadamia Milk (theres a slight after taste when you first try it but after that is delicious, but the nutrients and fats are so good for you.)

Fantastic experience: Wicked barbers with all the frills. They did such great cuts for my man and kid. Kind, experienced staff. They gave us a reasonable appointment time for a same day appointment. 1hour for them both at the same time. Great place to take kids as they have many areas to lounge and wait for cuts or peeps, you can even watch some skateboarding on tv. . Added bonus is the cafe! What more could you ask for.

Fantastic experience: My Barber of choice. Been coming to Barber Tom’s since the day they opened - I am very picky when it comes to Barbers.The space is great and spacious, with a coffee/light food booth (very popular with its outdoor tables), a small private room for ladies cuts, an awesome team that is friendly and professional. My Barber is Jess, she is a real pro, friendly, a great listener and I enjoy our conversations while she cuts. Tom is a great guy, a visionary who is constantly looking at improving the offerings. Highly recommend this Barber, and I would not go anywhere else. Definitely ten steps above other Barber’s in Tauranga, real trend setters - genuine comments and no I did not get paid to endorse them.
Fantastic experience: Awesome place, great team and top notch haircut’s! Highly recommended
