The Clipper Joint Barbershop Takapuna — Local services in Devonport-Takapuna

I visited this place two weeks ago. The person who cut my hair was a young man from Greece. His conversation skills were 10 out of 10, but his haircutting skills were only 2 out of 10.

I haven’t been with them recently, having previously not had any issues with...

Located down a little alleyway between Hurstmere rd and the big carpark I thought this barber may be a little dark and dingy but it's anything but. It's warm and welcoming and the owner/barber greeted me with a smile and handshake as I walked in. The shop is well designed, modern, sleek and as dope as you'd expect a young barbershop to be. The barber was professional and knew what I was asking for in a cut - It one of the best I've had in recent memory - so good that after getting home my gf couldn't resist my newfound sexual 'aura' that...
