Good Old Days Barber Shop Belmont is a barbershop on Lake Road in Belmont, on Auckland's North Shore, with a 4.9 rating from 128 Google reviews and a Facebook page in place of a website. A good barber is as much about memory as technique: once someone has cut your hair a few times, they know how it grows, where the cowlicks sit and how short to take the sides, so sticking with one shop usually beats shopping around. Short cuts generally need a tidy-up every three to five weeks to stay sharp. If you're trying somewhere new, a photo on your phone says more than words, and knowing the lingo — taper, fade, scissor work — helps you get what you actually asked for. Weekday mornings are often quieter than a Saturday rush. For Belmont locals, a shop this well-reviewed and this handy on Lake Road makes keeping on top of the haircut a simple errand.
