The Parnell BarberShop — Local services in Waitematā

Edited below, please see bottom of this review. I will remove once acknowledged.

Despite their Sunday opening hours being reflected in the following places: Their storefront Their 'Open' sign Their own website Their own facebook page Their Google open hours They are not open on Sundays. No explanation given, no haircut possible on my only day off...

EDIT: Per the response below, I'll remove this review but I need to make sure you guys understand. I went out of my way to check (through several different medians - store-front, website and Google) the times you'd be open on Sundays. At no point through any of these means was I informed that there was a temporary closure that would soon be rectified. It takes no time at all to alter the opening hours on Facebook or your website, and you only need a small sign taped over the shop hours saying something along the lines of 'returning late Jan/early Feb'. Not doing so really just reeks of laziness and altering just a couple would save not only yourselves the hassle of situations like this arising, but also keep potentially loyal customers from having to seek other venues. I literally needed just one single avenue of contact that mentioned temporary closure with a date and I wouldn't have had any...

Could rate higher if I can.

Came in a few days ago with a ugly mop of hair on my head (quite seriously, it was a flipping mushroom) not knowing what to do with my hair. Not only did my boy Mike fix those sides and get me looking fresher than I had been in years he also told me how to style and take care of my hair. At this point I think the conversation was worth the price as well. At the end of the cut when he asked me if it was alright the only thing I said was ‘It’s alright’ because I was just stunned from how good it was as I had come from getting my hair cut by some random guy in his house.

Can’t wait to drop by again once I grow my hair out. Cheers....

Overall im quite disappointed with the haircut from Mike. I was expecting better after the high rating on google. The beer and friendly chat was good but after being in the chair for a full 1 hour I felt like Mike could talk all day but attention to detail of the haircut was lacking. I asked for a number 1 on the sides and back but it is still very long in those areas and around the ears not that tidy either. There is no fade whatsoever. I think Mike needs to spend more time focusing on cuting hair and less time on the chat. For $40 you expect a good haircut but ive had better ones for $15 - I Won't be back...
