Hi Michael.
Thankyou for popping in to see us today and we are very pleased you appreciated our professionalism.
Keep safe on yr travels and thankyou for yr review.
Fantastic experience: Brilliant barbershop. Been going here on and off for the last couple of years. My last haircut was with Bruce, I believe his name is, and while it took around an hour, the attention to detail and the way he went about ensuring it was perfect was awesome. He didn't rush it. Perfect barber. I've got a free haircut to collect at some point, I'll ask for Bruce if he isn't busy. Highly recommend!
Thankyou Josh. Bruce is one of our recent graduates from the Barber programme run by Skillsec.
Great to hear you were thrilled with yr cut, and that u recognize the free cut with our loyalty programme.
We look forward to seeing you again throughout 2026

Thankyou c.
We look forward to seeing you again very soon
Fantastic experience: The shop is very bright and clean. The staff were very friendly
Thankyou Sharon. We look forward to seeing u again.
Negative experience: I did not lile my recent hair cut that i got from one of the man who works there, the lady who works there is the best and the go to she has given me pretty decent trims, but that man with cooked hairline has messed up my trim on god.
Hi Shragyy.
We are sorry to hear u were not satisfied with yr last cut.
Thinking you are in need of a tidy up to bring yr style up to yr standard.
If u would like to pop back to the shop and ask for Trudy she will be able to help you.
We look forward to seeing you soon.
Fantastic experience: G'day There, I went in at 2.45, Monday, 18th of August. I came in and asked for a "short "Classic Cut" ". I did not know what to expect. I was not hoping for the best. Up Strolls Mya, asking " What do you want today?" . I replied the above. Mya got to work. Initially we did not talk, which is much appreciated. If it is your first time with a barber, you do not want to get into your lifestory. However, after about ten minutes, I asked a few questions. Mya was an excellent conversationalist. She gave me an excellent Classic Cut, but what stuck out was her attention to detail. She made sure that I had not sticky out bits that would make me look stupid in 10 days after the haircut. Only a few barbers I have been to have paid attention to this detail. I left looking pretty good, it is the best jaircut I have gotten in ages. Great service, excellent reults, Thanks Mya.
Hi Rusty "qq" Grant
Thank you for your feedback.
Mya is an amazing barber and Educator, and we are pleased to hear that service you received from Mya met or exceeded your expectaions.
We look forward to seeing you again.
Negative experience: With so much competition in the barbershop market this was an unfortunate find. My partner was left unattended and wandered into this establishment for a quick tidy up. He’s a bit thin on the ground in the hair department and isn’t looking for anything to rock the hairdressing world but when we met back up I was sure he’d bough his own set of clippers for the task. I was mortified. We went back and I scanned the place for the bowl that must have been used … asked for it to be fixed and we left somewhat satisfied … well I was prepared to be seen in public with him! Shocking haircut!!!
Positive experience: Easy hair cut. Friendly staff. Okay pricing. Quick service
Fantastic experience: I always get a good cut at Ladish. Only need 6 cuts to get a free one now.
Thank you Matthew see you again soon
Positive experience: A great place to have your hair cut. The ambience is even Greater. But the best is the friendly people there.

Fantastic experience: De passage sur Dunedin en vacances, je suis aller vendredi dernier dans ce salon le faire couper les cheveux et malgré que je ne parle pas trop l’anglais car je suis français j’ai pu avoir exactement ce que j’attendais une super coupe. Le personnel et très agréable, et attentionné il m’on très bien aider rien à dire sur ce lieux, Un plaisir d’ailleurs d’avoir était dans ce salon durant mon séjour en Nouvelle-Zélande
Thanks Benoît, we trust you enjoyed the rest of your New Zealand trip.
Fantastic experience: First thing,...I didn't go here for a haircut. Actually my friend and I were parking our motorcycles outside the shop. One of us dropped it on its side and the staff at Ladish dropped everything and came running out to help. These people are awesome!!!!! Thanks for being so caring. When I'm back in Dunedin, I'm coming here for a cut!!!!!
Thanks, glad we could help! See you for a hair cut when you're next in town!

Fantastic experience: My 7 year old wanted to go and get a fancy haircut. We saw Trudy, and she listened to both myself and my child until we got a plan of what to do. She was patient and calm.

Fantastic experience: Love this place great for the whole family.
Fantastic experience: Used to come to these guys years ago when haircuts were $5-10! For at least the past 10 years I've been rocking short hair and have been able to do it myself, I've recently grew it out and needed more professional help lol and early one morning noticed they were open, I've been going once a month for the past 3 months and will continue to do so, I had a different staff each time and they are all awesome and listen to what I'm trying to do, price wise is almost half of what I paid for a haircut before I came to Ladish and quality is the same if not better.
Fantastic experience: Lovely staff and cheap haircuts. Just started and truly lovely.

Fantastic experience: Been coming here for years. No need for an appointment, you can just walk in and they dona great job.
Negative experience: I was reluctant to write a negative review, since some of the staff are affable and have given me decent enough haircuts for the price, however I've had enough of Selwyn. After having been a regular customer for several years, you might think he would remember my name. Not Selwyn though. I know he's getting long in the tooth, but after the last haircut from him, an uneven rushed job, I grew fed up with being asked for the umpteenth time, "now what do you do for a living?" He doesn't listen properly; doesn't remember my name or what I do, which is not what you want when you're a regular at a barbershop; makes assumptions about who I am without getting to know me; and has rudely interrupted me multiple times during haircuts, while I'm chatting with him, to start conversations with other customers he's obviously more interested in. I dislike his passive-aggressive demeanour and he seems to have more than a little chip on his shoulder about some thing or another. I've been disappointed too many times here to return, so he won't be receiving my custom in future.
Fantastic experience: Absolutely fantastic. Was helped by a woman with platnium hair. She was efficient and took care of all my needs without being asked. The best. Great service throughout.
Positive experience: Good prices and good cuts, convenient walk in service just off the main street.
Positive experience: Prices are better than average but service and friendliness leave a lot to be desired.
Negative experience: Utterly dreadful uneven haircut. Will never ever be back. Seriously considering just shaving my head.
Fantastic experience: Great service and staff
Fantastic experience: Lovely and knowledgeable staff
Fantastic experience: Fast cheap good
Fantastic experience: Great place to get haircuts. No appointments required, just walk in and take a seat. Haircuts are cheap, quick and high quality. With friendly staff. Highly recommend.
Positive experience: Good place for a quick haircut.
Fantastic experience: Have had no problems with them. Always polite and good prices. Cheaper than most others in town.Have been getting my haircut by them for most of my 41 years and will continue to do so.
Negative experience: Attempted to get a cut for late night opening on a Friday, got a curt response saying they were closing, almost palm in face as I was waved out. Is it so hard to be polite? Wow. Shame, I'll find another.
Negative experience: You want an unfinished haircut and feel disappointed, go there!
