On Shortland Street in Auckland Central, Paris Barber has built its name on a blend of timeless barbering technique and modern style, operating from a location with a barbering reputation spanning more than 20 years.
Owner Raphaël grew up in Paris, France, discovering his passion for hairstyling early on. After travelling across Europe and Australasia, he brought his craft and vision to New Zealand, where he fell for both a Kiwi partner and the vibrant Auckland community. Three years after arriving, with 19 years of barbering and hairstyling experience behind him, Raphaël took over the well-established Shortland Street barbershop, and Paris Barber has carried on that legacy since 2019.
Alongside Raphaël, the Paris Barber team includes barbers Bayan and River. Together, the team brings precision, creativity and pride to every cut, taking the time to understand each client's style before delivering it with real attention to detail. The shop positions itself as more than just a barbershop — a trusted part of the Auckland Central community, built on consistency, professionalism and genuine connection.
Paris Barber's menu covers the full range of men's grooming, from haircuts and student cuts through to skin fades and scissor cuts, plus buzz cuts for something quicker. Beard trims and full shaves round out the grooming side, and a set of favourite combos — pairing a haircut with a beard trim — cater to those wanting the complete package. Kids haircuts are also available, both classic and fade styles.
