My Barber and Hairsalon sits on Flanshaw Rd in Te Atatu South, Auckland, with a perfect 5.0 Google rating, open 9am to 6pm Monday to Saturday and 10am to 6pm on Sundays. The website names haircuts, classic trims and beard grooming, spanning traditional and modern styles.
A good barber does more than clipper a number two all over: they ask what you're after, read how your hair grows, and say honestly when the photo you've brought won't suit your hair type. Regulars prize a barber who remembers the cut from one visit to the next, and learn to book ahead for Saturdays, which fill quickly at any busy shop. Beard work is its own skill — a crisp neckline and tidy cheek lines lift the whole look. Short styles hold their shape best with a trim every four to six weeks.
For west Auckland locals after a top-rated barber close to home, this Flanshaw Rd shop makes an easy stop.
