Takapuna Family Barber & Hairdresser works as both a barber shop and a full hair salon on Hurstmere Road in the heart of Takapuna, on Auckland's North Shore. The friendly team brings 15 years of experience to everything from men's skin fades, scissor cuts and beard styling to women's haircuts, colour, foils, balayage and hair treatments — so the whole family can be taken care of in one visit.
The service menu covers men's cuts (including skin fades, zero taper fades, wash-and-blow-dry finishes and a senior cut), boys' and girls' haircuts, beard styling and clipper shaves, plus a women's range that runs from a cut with treatment and blow-dry through to full head foils, half head foils, full colour and balayage. A mobile home-visit service is also available for anyone who'd rather have their hair done at home.
The space blends vintage and contemporary decor, and the team takes real pride in customer service — happy to answer questions and talk through the style that suits you. They're open seven days, with evening hours until 7pm on weekdays, and online booking makes it easy to lock in a chair before you arrive.
On Hurstmere Road in the heart of Takapuna, Takapuna Family Barber & Hairdresser does something not every shop on Auckland's North Shore can claim: it works as a genuine barber shop and a full hair salon under one roof. Need a skin fade or a beard tidy-up? The clippers are already out. Need foils, full colour or balayage? Same team, same chairs. That breadth is the whole idea — one family-friendly shop where everyone in the household can have their hair taken care of in a single visit.
The team behind it describes themselves as friendly barbers and hairdressers with 15 years of experience in Auckland, and pride in customer service runs through everything they say. Their stated aim is simple: that you leave feeling confident, refreshed and ready to take on the world.
For men and boys, the menu is classic barbering done properly. Skin fades taken right down to the skin are a house staple, sitting alongside zero taper fades, scissor cuts, style cuts and a dedicated senior cut. When you want the full finish, there's a haircut with wash and blow-dry. The beard work covers both styling and clipper shaves, which is handy if you like keeping the cut and the beard sharp in the same appointment.
The women's side is just as complete. There's a women's haircut with treatment and blow-dry, or a cut and styling with treatment for a more finished look. Colour options run from full head foils and half head foils to full hair colour, balayage and ombré, and there are girls' style cuts for younger clients. Hair treatments are part of the offering across the board, so cutting and colour appointments double as a bit of care time for your hair.
Kids are genuinely part of the picture here rather than an afterthought. Boys' normal haircuts and boys' style cuts sit on the men's menu, girls' style cuts on the women's, which makes it realistic to bring the whole family in on a Saturday morning and have everyone sorted before lunch. The shop's own gallery of recent work — men's cuts, beard styling, ladies' cuts and children's haircuts — shows what that looks like in practice.
If getting to Hurstmere Road is difficult, whether for a relative, a new parent or anyone with limited mobility, the shop also runs a mobile service with home visits, bringing the same haircutting and styling to your living room.
Two names appear on the About page: Danial Panal and Rose Shabani. The team talks about having an absolute passion for creating beautiful hair, and about supporting everyone in their hair care journey, whatever that looks like. They're happy to answer questions too — useful if you're standing at the counter wondering whether a fade, a scissor cut or a balayage refresh is the right move for the season.
The salon itself is described as stylish and comfortable, with a blend of vintage and contemporary decor setting the backdrop for your grooming visit. The team says it pays attention to every detail, from the moment you walk through the doors until you leave with a fresh, confident look.
