Negative experience: UPDATED: We appreciate the owner replying to our review but cannot come back as we are just passing through Blenheim going to Southland. Whoever did my partner's hair and beard at 8:45ish am this morning then I am sure she remembered my partner. My partner had a haircut and beard trim and it was terrible! We ended up buying a cap for him to let it grow to his desired length. The beard trim was also awful. Wouldn't recommend at all.

Fantastic experience: Best place to get your haircut. Friendly and very welcoming place. Gibbo and Janet will give you the best haircut you want plus as a bonus a friendly chat. Also best place to take the kids for their first haircut. They will make sure that the kids get their free lollipop after the haircut and the dad or mum could get theirs if they ask nicely If you want a barbershop that will make you feel right at home then you just found the place.

Fantastic experience: First visit for me. Great service and a most reasonable price for a hair trim and a beard shockingly out of control. Very welcoming and pleasant staff. My wife followed me in for a haircut. She too was mightily impressed.

Negative experience: You get what you pay for. Cheap and nasty. He passed the clippers ONCE and did terrible edging. I had to go to another barber to salvage what was left.

Positive experience: Das Problem mit diesem sicher sehr netten Friseursalon für Herren ist. das er sich Barber Shop nennt. Ein Barber Shop bietet stets eine ordentliche Naßrasur an - mit allem was dazu gehört - hier gibt es aber leider maximal eine Rasur mit dem Elektrorasierer...das muss dann nicht sein. Zumindest wusste man was ich suchte und empfahl mir zielsicher The Barber Shop - dieser Tip war Gold wert...Danke.

Positive experience: Good hair cut for good Price, however as most people have to work Monday to Friday. Sat is a real nightmare with ridiculous amount of people waiting. Maybe drop Monday and put two barbers on Sat Mornings.
