Hair By Wayne is an award-winning men's barbershop at 123 Manukau Rd in Epsom, Auckland, run by Wayne and his wife, with a 4.9 Google rating, online booking and more than 250 five-star reviews. NZ Barber of the Year in 2020, it specialises in modern fades, scissor cuts and beard trims, each finished and styled with a recommended product. A good barber earns their keep at the consultation, working out how high a fade should sit and how much weight to lift off the top for your hair and lifestyle. Skin fades demand a careful blend from zero to longer lengths and grow out fast, which is why regulars return every few weeks to keep the edges clean. A cut throat razor line-out, meanwhile, is as much about the finish as the trim itself. That eye for detail is why Hair By Wayne has become a fixture on Manukau Road.
