faded barbershop: Reviews
Fantastic experience: Went here Saturday day of one love and the bro did a solid cut I would recommend faded if ever in tga and looking for good babers
Negative experience: It was those moments where it was too late to say anything .
Fantastic experience: Good and quality haircut nice job I recommend this shop thanks shannon
Negative experience: Went in for a fade and they were so unprofessional, the guy didnt even finish the haircut he left the top half untouched even though i explicitly said that was what really needed to be done, he blamed my past barber for messing it up and even then wouldnt you, as a barber, want to fix that anyway? I paid 40 for half a haircut and i was the only client they had so there was no reason it should have been that bad.
Fantastic experience: Best service, the brothers are friendly as , and they can accomadate any haircut ur looking for.
Fantastic experience: Cheap but very good quality

Fantastic experience: Great place for a cut.
Positive experience: Good cuts
Positive experience: cool
Negative experience: Poor service. The website allows bookings when the shop is closed (saturdays), so wasted trip. Rebooked for a few days later, was a few minutes late to my appointment (parking in the area is a nightmare) but I left again after waiting nearly 30 minutes with no greeting and no service as i had another appointment to go to. Should be strictly walk-in.
Fantastic experience: Great bunch of Guys Very friendly ,I walked in ,but I go past regularly and they are booked out . So best book in

Fantastic experience: Give big props to the uso he has the best fades around especially with the razor bladed versace symbol
Positive experience: Showed barber a photo of what I would like and didn’t manage to follow the photo - still did a tidy-ish fade but I think the one that did my hair had less experience than the others
Fantastic experience: Mean as haircuts. Friendly staff who connect well to their clients. Always a pleasure to see such creative art in haircuts. Worth every dollar spent there.
Negative experience: Hour long delay on booked appointment
Negative experience: Booked for 12. Name wasn’t on the list, waited for 20min so left. Only booked here because Carve was full. Won’t make that mistake again

Positive experience: Very gifted lads, could do with some aftershave to prevent bombs
Negative experience:
Negative experience: I had an appointment booked and confirmed for Friday 4th June and I rolled in 5 minutes before my appointment. It seemed reasonably busy and so was the booking list on the mirror(s), so I assumed everyone there was booked rather than walk-ins. 40 minutes went by and another guy stood up said he had a booking for 2:30pm (it was 4:10pm at this point). I ended up leaving because I had to get back to work as my 45 minute window of getting a haircut was up – hence why I booked rather than chance a walk-in. I’m not sure how your booking vs. walk-in system works – no names, numbers or anything were called in the time I was there, but I hope you guys can figure it out. Or maybe it was an off day? I can see you guys work hard and do a great job with people’s hair etc.
I've also checked through Saturday and there's no 2pm for your name? we had a women's booking at 2 on Saturday
and a father and son for 1.30. Monday we were closed because of the public Holiday. and there are no bookings today for anyone between 1pm and 3.30pm
Fantastic experience: The guys at faded hooked me and the young fulla up with the mean cuts was awesome

Fantastic experience: Great barber's shop. The team on there were amazing with all the kids that came in. Thanks
Negative experience: Had a booking for my 2 yr old at 9.30 am got there at 9.20 at about 10.08 still had not been seen and asked what was going on. Was told my name had been called out and i would have to wait(no one called out my name) at 10.25 i had enough and just walked out will definitely not be back. Would not let me give a zero rating as that's what i would have given. As i said and i state this on my dead mothers grave no one absolutely no one called my name and i calling bs on your time-line of what happed
Thank you for your comment, this was made aware to me on Thursday. We were expecting a complaint to come through. I was informed 2 barbers called out the booking name several times. There was no response so they continued. It wasn't till some time after , and I see you asked 30min later what was happening. As they were already cutting and had other bookings coming thru. you were advised they would be another 5min. After that you walked out. We cannot match the face to the name. if it is the booking time and the person isn't there.. we do need to carry on. we do Apologise for the misunderstanding. In the future it would be helpful to let the barber know that you are the person for the booking.
Fantastic experience: Joining a queue on Sunday morning for a cut tells the story about this place, it is popular for good reason. And the barber chairs are like sitting in the passenger seat of a 65 impala coupe.

Fantastic experience: Walked in for a cut, asked for a comb over 2 1 fade. Cut is on point, chur boys.
Fantastic experience: For man cutting they are the best in Tauranga. Great service. I like there T-shirts collections. They got lots of parking in front of there entrance of the road side. There entrance is very user friendly for wheelchair and stroller.
Fantastic experience: Great spot, booked in online and my son was taken instantly. Such a cool, smooth haircut. Very impressed
Negative experience: Worst haircut...I asked to trim a little bit. She faced me away from the mirror the whole time couldnt even see what she was up to. When she finally turned me around it was an ugly cut. trimmed way too much off the top can barely style it. She used clippers to trim my hair, didn't even use scissors. Terrible. Don't come here. Not even worth $30.
Hi we have received your review from almost a week ago . not sure of the delay. we are sincerely sorry this is what you experienced.
This is not a regular occasion. The barber you are speaking of is usually highly recommended and holds great skills.
Please let us know if you would like to come back ,we can offer a free cut and book you in with one of our talented barbers.
Negative experience: Had my hair cut there one and was fine. I came back today and gave me a totally different style I HATE and am now misitible and will be until my hair grows back. Never going back.
Negative experience: Very disappointed! I choose faded barber to cut my sons first haircut and they didnt wanna cut his hair because they just use clippers! Very bad service! Should say on the website!
We are sorry this was your experience . The barber who served you may not have been comfortable enough with scissors if they are of a young age.
we do have concerns about using scissors if they are unsettled while getting a hair cut. however we do have barbers that are confident with scissors and cutting little ones who were not rostered on today. if you would like to message the page. we can rebook you with a staff more confident. This is just for safety precautions for the child. We do use scissiors.
Negative experience: Average hair cuts. Dont ask for a new blade for the razor. I got attitude and charged extra. Be sure to talk gym with gym monkeys to get an avarage cut
Fantastic experience: Really great haircut, love the details and my son looks so good
Fantastic experience: Much better experience than Sharing Shed, would definitely recommend to anyone
Fantastic experience: Quick in their work, cozy place, excellent haircuts!
Fantastic experience: Next level cuts no ordinary barber can do
Fantastic experience: Great people, pleasant vibe and fine cuts @kiritapu
Positive experience: Good fade and cool barber.
Fantastic experience: I absoloutly love this place. My son refuses to get his hair cut any where else. He is only 9. Family and friends are always commenting on how cool his hair looks. These guys always do an amazing job even with my sons high maintainence requests of designs they havent done before. Keep up the awesome work guys.
