Barber's Empire is a barbershop at 33 Chartwell Avenue, Glenfield, Auckland 0629, holding a perfect 5.0 Google rating and running its online presence through Instagram rather than a traditional website.
Barbering is a craft of its own: where a salon works with length and styling, a good barber specialises in clipper work — fades, tapers and beard shaping — judged on clean blends and crisp edges. A fade doesn't stay sharp for long, so most people plan on a tidy-up every few weeks to keep the shape. That's why regulars settle on one barber who has learned how their hair grows, where the cowlicks sit and how it's worn. When trying someone new, it's a good sign if they ask a few questions before picking up the clippers.
For a clipper cut done properly, Barber's Empire sits on Chartwell Avenue in Glenfield, handy for locals on Auckland's North Shore.
