6 months ago Fantastic experience: Best haircut I ve had in New Zealand. Very experienced, beards no problem. Including live singing and open on Sundays. Recommend.
Oh My God, What a great and honest review! :-) I love the way you are talking! Thank you so much : -)
8 months ago Fantastic experience: Amazing friendly guy. I came in asking for a difficult cut. He had never done. He put his spin on it and I love it so much. And charged me short hair cut $30 so affordable. Thank you we will be back
Gosh. Your good review absolutely wowed me a lot. To be honest. It’s my great honor to cut your family members’ hair. You know what ? Your kids definitely won the genetic lottery! They are blessed with good genes. Thank you so much. :-)
8 months ago Fantastic experience: The best barber/hairdresser with the most excellent service I have ever had. The price is very reasonable. He did my hair and my wife's. We are both very happy. He is so meticulous and caring in what he does. He is also very positive, polite and cheerful. It is an experience. He sings while he cuts. I highly recommend.
You are a golden couple , couple goals. Thank you for your washed hair, made the cutting easier . Much appreciated! :-) Happy New Year 2026. :-)
8 months ago Negative experience: I got a cut from here, and it was not good. my hair has been cut very uneven specially with the face framing layers. One side has been cut very short and choppy and uneven while the other side is completely long and not cut at all. I wanted a trim and even the trim on the back there are bits that are uneven. These photos are the difference of either side.
I’m sorry to hear that you’re unhappy.
Looking back, when you came to the shop last week, the haircut looked very good at the time after I finished, and you were happy with the result. You paid $35 for a women’s layered cut, and I truly did my best to meet your expectations.
However, every head of hair is different, and sometimes things don’t settle the same way afterward. I sincerely apologise that the result didn’t meet your satisfaction in the end.
As per our shop’s refund policy, you’re welcome to come back at any time to receive a full refund of $35. Alternatively, I’m also happy to offer you a complimentary haircut.
Thank you very much for your understanding.
8 months ago Fantastic experience: Amazing job, super friendly, very well priced and the singing? Spectacular.

I am really glad I could be up to your standards. Appreciated ! By the way ,You have poise and so luminous. Thank you so much :-)
9 months ago Fantastic experience: Stumbled upon this place on my way from work earlier this week. The place looks, and I guess is quite sparse but from the moment you walk through the door you realise that you're not in Kansas anymore Toto. The place may look empty but the atmosphere is overflowing. I've never had anyone cut my hair show such high energy, and I'm 60 so there's an awful lot of haircuts in my lifetime. All this and he sings as well, so a show and a really good haircut, all for $25 (Nov 2025). He even trimmed the eyebrows (hey, it happens when you get old) so can't complain about the service, the haircut, the vitality. Definitely recommend and will return.
Oh my God, ：）Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a brilliant review! You’re an angel, and I hope to shine as brightly as you. I believe you must be doing amazing work in your own field — you’re truly my benchmark. Life is a bed of roses; live a little and stay grateful. Your wonderful words absolutely made my day. I really appreciate it! ：）
10 months ago Fantastic experience: Very Happy, charming, wonderful man. Good work for a great price. Can’t complain.
Wow , thank you so much for supporting our small business! I think God played sides, he made you too handsome , you are definitely the salt of the earth :-)

1 year ago Fantastic experience: Bloody fantastic! So happy with my haircut. I showed the hairdresser a picture of what I wanted and he said he could it better which he did. $35 for a fade which is damn good. He told me the price it would cost even before he started, he was very professional and you could tell he was very passionate about haircuts. As I left he even open the door. I've never had an experience like this before in a barbershop. Would highly recommend and would be back if I'm next in town. Thanks.
