REVIEWS FROM OUR CUSTOMERS

  • I’ve been to different barbers around AKL, a few in NYC and I have never had a cut this good - I can’t remember the last time I had such a reaction after a cut! Props to Wayne for the best cut I’ve had!

    Tauseef Choudhury

    Every Haircut I’ve had here at Hair by Wayne has been of a high standard. The last one was done by James. Great haircuts, conversation and atmosphere . I would highly recommend these guys.

    Jason Slade

    Excellent mens haircut at an affordable price. Wayne is committed to doing his best when cutting my hair and for that he has my patronage.

  • Really appreciated the barber who cut the hair of my 4 1/2 year old, he was very patient and did a great job. Wayne also did a great job on my hair, both were very professional. Appreciated the Father-Son Haircut option and we will be back!

    I have been coming here for the past few months now and have nothing but amazing things to say. The staff is all so welcoming and make an effort to engage you. Shout out to Beez, who has been so patient and amazing. I wish I found you guys earlier, keep it the good work!!

    A fabulous team of laid back, relaxed, professional barbers. They know their stuff, they take the time to make sure you are happy, getting your feedback along the way. The vibe is relaxed, a few good laughs and I felt confident I was in good hands. Thanks team!

    Hair by Wayne is the best barbershop I have found since arriving in NZ a year ago. The shop is up to date and the staff are perfectionists. You even get a beer while you wait! Highly recommend if you value a good cut.

    Took my son here for the first time after being recommended by a friend, and all the review are true. Best haircut my son ever had! Thank you Wayne

    Anusha Reddy
  • Okay, just had my haircut by these guys. This was probably the best service I've ever had for a haircut. The owner was particularly attentive, really helped make the experience relaxing. She helped me with my kids while they waited and provided pens and paper for them to draw on. Lovely vibe in there, the place has comfy couches and lots of space. The hairdresser was young, skilfull and friendly, I'm very happy with the end result. He even gave my son a funky, stylish haircut. Would recommend this place to all.

  • My first experience with Hair By Wayne and it was an absolute pleasure. Rex was so great with the overall service and consultation. I'm definitely going to be a regular customer. Thank you very much Rex!!

    Rezon D'silva

    Rex crushed it - one of the best haircuts I've gotten! It's a shame I'll have to wait until the next time I visit New Zealand to come back again!

    Vlad Serban

    Took my 16 year old here after a botched cut from another barber. Elliot worked his magic and came out with a trendy cut that my son loves. No wait time due to being able to make an appointment, and air con a bonus! My son will continue getting his cuts from Elliot. Very professional and friendly.

  • very thorough beard trim with attention to detail highly recommend this barber shop AAA

    Gordon Sutherland

    Our experience at Hair by Wayne was very satisfying. Wayne is very talented in his field and was able to tame my husbands hair in a way that was not only manageable but also perfectly suited his face. He was incredibly professional and friendly, listening to exactly what my husband was looking before starting the cut. He didn’t take longer than the time allocated and the store ambience was very relaxing - a 10/10 experience!

    Ashna Medina Siraj

    Awesome experience and haircut. Will be back in the future

    Hayden Cooper
  • I've had hair cuts at other barber spots and this is by far the best.

    Joshua Koo

    Have been going for my haircuts here for a while now and I highly recommend the barbers here, definitely check them out. All of them are really good with cuts and also have great personalities, which always makes for good conversations. Here's why I like going here, these are always on point - fades, bead trims, lineups and trimming the top.

    Bhanu Rajan

    Couldnt recommend this place more! They’ll get you right everytime!

    Shaun Hodgkinson

    First off I loved my haircut, but on top of that I really enjoyed the care and effort Kahlyn put into my cut, and the general vibe and atmosphere of ‘hair by Wayne’ would recommend for anyone looking for a mean as cut!

    Niwa Whatuira
  • I heard great things about this place, so I thought to check it out and get a new haircut to start the year off. Safe to say Joel did an incredible job and I left feeling like a new man!

    MRCRAZYKIAN

    Great atmosphere and the guys are super friendly. Joel was amazing, really knows the craft. He walked me through the entire cut and helped find my natural part. Will definitely be back!

    Gaurav Mann

    Superb friend and talented staff. Loads of experience and attention to detail. Consult at the start very good and check ins throughout the cut means you get exactly what you ask for. Booked again already.

  • During the lengthy lockdown mid 21', I sat down by my beside table looked at myself in the mirror and sought change; gave myself a mullet with a pair of blunt scissors. It was at this moment I realized regret. My mother was shell-shocked, fourteen weeks later recovering from the shade my parents threw at me because of my decision. I booked an appointment with the bro Shayne last week a fading genius (In my opinion the best barber in Auckland) any haircut he gives never disappoints. Today he welcomed me in like I was at home, sat down and he did his magic. Left the store with an ego flying through the roof, went back home with a proud mother; proud of her handsome son :). 11/10 Shayne, you a real one.

    Jayme Rycroft

    Awesome barbershop! Wayne is a consummate professional, extremely skilled in his craft. I appreciate that he shares knowledge as he cuts your hair, with regards to the shape and look and the process he takes to get there. Conversation often carries through the open floor, all the boys there are great conversationalists and this results in a top tier barbershop experience. HairByWayne brings back the barbershop culture!

    Nicholas Soh

    Have been coming to Hair By Wayne for over a year now and have always left with a huge smile on my face. Shayne always manages to give me the best haircut I've ever had each time I come. Cheers guys, with your amazing customer service its always a joy and pleasure, Levi 🙂
