Carve Barbershop - Tauranga

Fantastic experience: I have had my haircut here 5-6 times over the past year and a half. Very impressed with the service, quality and final resulting hair cut. 5/5.

Fantastic experience: One of The Best Haircuts I've Ever Gotten! Got my haircut by Kris and the results were Great! My hair grows fast but the first week after my cut nearly everyone I spoke to complimented me on my haircut and I was frequently told how Great it looks! He's also a really sociable and cool guy, all around worth the time and money. Great Barbers, Will Definetly be back!

Fantastic experience: I really like this barbershop. Kris is a very good barber and I always have a good conversation with him. The services provided are excellent. I highly recommend the haircut/beard trim/facial package - having your face cleaned and steamed does wonders for your attitude and appearance. This place is safe, has a good location, and can easily be booked online.

Negative experience: I was denied service because I was assumed to be female. The reason why was for “mens mental health”. I work in mental health myself and know that assuming a persons gender is harmful to everyone’s mental health. Also I’m not sure why a trans nonbinary person seeking a haircut is a risk to the mental health of any other customer sitting quietly in a chair. Extremely disappointed and need to make it known that not only are women not welcome here, but TRANS & NON BINARY PEOPLE are also not welcome here. Find a different barber whānau, it’s 2024.

Fantastic experience: Great cut & great customer service

Fantastic experience: I’ve been coming here for a couple of years now and the guys are great. Just had myself and the lads in for the groomsman package as im getting married on Friday, they closed the shop for us and gave me and the boys the full service trim, beard trim, a facial (definitely get it its great) and left us looking sharp and feeling our absolute best. The complimentary pizza, beer and whiskey went down a treat as well. Thanks so much Kris and Dema, you were great

Fantastic experience: Johnny is the man. Go and see him for a cut

Fantastic experience: I have Kris booked through from October 2023 to January 2024 as I don't want to miss out, great staff, great place

Fantastic experience: Superb contemporary cuts in a clean and relaxed environment. Several visits and always left happy. Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Kris and co. are always stellar. Love coming in every time for a fresh cut.

Negative experience: Took our daughter to Carve and was turned away as 'men and boys only' citing it's about men's mental health. Surprisingly they can take young boys, but girls not allowed.- are we in 2023? For a wee girl with an edgy haircut, experiences like these aren't great

Fantastic experience: Great cut and loved the steamer at the end. Came out relaxed and looking sharp! Thanks Kris!

Fantastic experience: Got a clean cut and a shave by Chris. Very professional and was very happy will definitely go again

Fantastic experience: Great cut Wesley, and great tunes, share me your Playlist from yesterday please.

Negative experience: Booked an appointment online for our wedding this weekend Turned up the ten minutes before our appointment for the shop to be totally closed! Absolutely unprofessional it has caused so much stress trying to find somewhere to go I phone call or email saying they where closing early or going to be shut would of been appreciated

Fantastic experience: Awesome cut always

Fantastic experience: I've been using Carve Tga for a couple of years now and have never had a bad experience, professionally run, very reliable service, good cuts.

Fantastic experience: Been coming to this business for a good year now and Johnny who has cut my hair every single time has always delivered. Absolute good times and banter! Shout out to the bro Johnny!

Fantastic experience: Been trying to find a good barber for awhile and we definitely found them my twin bro is super stoked with his hair and we will be bringing my little brother here soon too. Thanks for the good vibes and good music.

Fantastic experience: The only place I’ll go to in town. Kris is a craftsman and always makes you feel valued. Cheers fellas.

Negative experience: This place does a $20 cancellation fee which is fair enough, but when they cancel and waste your time you get nothing but a sorry and you can book again for tomorrow , drove 20mins and waited till 10 mins before my appointment to walk in and get told by the guy working that johnny had gone home and I should have received a email notifying me. I didn't in fact I received and email asking me to confirm my booking and reminding me that a $20 dollar cancellation fee would apply if I miss the booking. Seriously some intergity at this place would go along way. Time wasters and won't be back. And will warn everyone not to come here

Fantastic experience: Excellent place. This is my son’s favourite barbershop in town. Very friendly guys and great service!

Fantastic experience: A really professional atmosphere and cut. Showed Fabrizio a photo and he knew exactly what to do. Went from a wooly sheep to someone who looked like he had style. Didn't disappoint, will be back!

Fantastic experience: Johnny, provides a professional service, and outstanding advice to keep the egg in shape.

Fantastic experience: Great service by Kris Razor fade and beard(best in town)

Fantastic experience: Kris is awesome. He's the only person I've returned to. It's hard to get booking with my schedule and I'm way over due now but will wait it out for a couple more weeks.

Fantastic experience: Johnny the apprentice here did a great job with my fade. It was well worth the money and I thoroughly enjoyed my time there. I will definitely be making this my new regular!

Fantastic experience: I had a wonderful experience with an apprentice barber. I forgot his name I guess Jonnie. He cuts hair seamlessly and like a pro. Great kid. Will see you again guys.

Fantastic experience: Great service and absolutely stoked with the cut too!

Fantastic experience: Beautiful haircut by Kris Frankie been in multiple times to see this gentile man. Kris Franceburg is an amazing Barbour. Honestly I can't speak highly enough of Kris Franchesco

Fantastic experience: They listen to what you want! Great friendly staff

Positive experience: Great service

Fantastic experience: Best barber experience in Tauranga, been a customer of yours for 2 or 3 years now and not once has the standard dropped on any of my visits. A very well run business with a great bunch of guys, cheers for the tune up today Kris.

Positive experience: Good cutting..friendly staff..good vibe

Fantastic experience: What's not to love! Great service and skilled barbers. Love the fact you can book in a time online. We did have a slight mishap recently, but they handled it like pros and have kept me as a loyal customer :-)

Positive experience: Mean cut alright

Positive experience: Professional and good fashionable cut

Fantastic experience: Great cut and tidy up, welcoming environment, will be back again

Negative experience: Hopeless. In todays times when I call a barber to find out how long before I can get the next chair I dont want to go to a shop that asks me to leave a message. Wake up guys the barber round the corner got my business and now I'm raving about them.

Fantastic experience: Took my nephew for a tidy up. Very impressed. The barber took his time and very attentive to what my nephew wanted. He looked slick and was very happy with the services. Highly recommend. We think the barbers name was Joe

Fantastic experience: Really great to have beer while getting a haircut

Fantastic experience: Without a doubt, the absolute best and most consistent haircuts. They treat you as a real client, with whom they discuss what you want and really take time to listen, while giving professional advice on what might add value and what may not work so well. The results either meet, or in most cases, exceed expectations. The prices are not over the top, but if your paying for something that reflects your image, quality should never be a compromise, and luckily at Carve it isn't!

Fantastic experience: Can I give this place 6 stars? Best service in Tauranga. Joe took his time and made sure he understood what I wanted before even picking up the clippers. Sorry to all the other barbers in town but I won't be going anywhere else.

Fantastic experience: Did a walk in last friday, as I didnt know they only take bookings generally. Dont normally get my hair cut as I like it long but with all the compliments I have been recieving I will be back more often for sure. Great team, awesome atmosphere. Couldn't reccomend more, 6 stars

Fantastic experience: Best hair cut ive had such good energy and awesome guys to do the job properly

Fantastic experience: Brilliant

Fantastic experience: Love going to carve, Sam does a flawless job everytime. I wish they had barbers to this standard in Whakatane (hint) I have been going since the start, the owner was actually the one who first cut my hair however its getting harder and harder to get there since not being open on Saturdays, please consider changing this. Everything about this place is professional from the moment you enter until you leave. Keep it up

Fantastic experience: Always on point

Fantastic experience: Brilliant service,highly recommended

Fantastic experience: Very good barbershop, the fade was clean and the customer service was spot on. Juana was easy to get a long with and cut my hair like a professional. Will definitely be coming back.

Fantastic experience: Excellent. Lockdown wooly mammoth is no more and my hubby is once again doable lol. He said it was very well done and he liked the atmosphere. Very chill and professional, no expectations of conversation from him as he is a pretty quiet guy. Very reasonable price. I think he had Kris who did an excellent job. He looks really good. 10/10 would recommend. He will def be going back.

Fantastic experience: Got what I paid for! Good online booking service and great store presentation. The service was awesome, thank you Kris for your professional service and to the rest of the team thanks for making me feel welcome. Definitely be back and will book for an afternoon slot to enjoy the complimentary beverage.

Fantastic experience: Good lads. Great haircuts.

Fantastic experience: Premium price but very good. Brandon and rawiri have done my two best haircuts to date.

Positive experience: One for the boys. A great barbershop where they are friendly and do a great cut. I've been a few times and now that Juana my barber has got to know me and my mop, the cuts are getting better all the time. I'm always happy with the result and the conversation we have.

Fantastic experience: Wickedly professional, treat yourself...

Fantastic experience: Welcomed with a beer, off to a good start then met my skilled barber Rawiri who did a great job with a fade and making my beard look sharp again. Thank You all and will come back next time over from Aus

Fantastic experience: Just had my first ever hot towel shave with Rawiri and it was an awesome experience from start to finish! I was a bit sceptical when it came to the price, but it was worth every cent. You're not just paying for a shave, you're paying for the time, expertise, passion and friendliness that Carve offer! Needless to say it was the best shave I've ever had! I would highly recommend these guys for your grooming needs! Cheers Rawiri and the lads at Carve Tauranga!

Fantastic experience: Perfect place for men to come and get there grooming needs seen too by very professional and welcoming staff. Top notch.

Fantastic experience: Hands down the best barber in town. I always get a razor fade and the cut is perfect every time. I've only had Juana and Sam and they're jedi masters and no doubt the rest of the boys would be. The online booking system is super convenient and the complimentary beer or drink is a nice touch!.

Fantastic experience: The best
