REVIEWS FROM OUR CUSTOMERS

  • 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!

    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.

    Have followed Joel who has just started here as he takes pride in his craft and am always pleased with the cut. Before this I had heard great things about Hair By Wayne though, so now can pass on that recommendation with experience. Friendly crew too, thanks boys!

  • 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.

    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!

    Great barbershop. Very friendly team. I've had Brandt and James cut my beard, and I'm always stoked with the result. Great conversation, and I'm fussy so it's nice being confident they'll do a mint job. Also love being able to book an appointment.

  • 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.

    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!

  • Booked in for my brother's haircut as a gift. Not gonna lie, my brother never looked so good until after the haircut! It definitely shaped his face and accentuated on the right places. Also, the barber (Kahlyn) is so nice and listened to what my brother wants for his look. Highly recommend and would definitely come back!

  • Best cutthroat shave in Auckland

    Adam K

    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.

  • Another awesome cut by Alex! It was my second time having hair cut by him and I absolutely loved the first one so obviously needed to come back for my lockdown cut. I don’t usually get my hair cut too short but Alex took the time to consult and see photos from my previous cut in July and he made it happen. Love the cut and will definitely keep coming back! 100% recommended

    Had my hair cut by Joel. He is not just a barber, but a true hair artist. Skilled and knowledgeable! He took time to finish the job and I loved the way he has done my hair. I am super happy with the hair cut. No doubt, Hair by Wayne is a professional hair services saloon and it will certainly be my go to barber shop from now on!!!
