Barber & Co is a men's barbershop and grooming product retailer located in the BNZ Centre on Hereford Street in Christchurch's central city — specifically in the Five Lanes precinct, next to Robert Harris and Hachi Hachi. The shop has built a strong following through a team of barbers (Tae, Nga, Brandt, Shane, and Vinny) who are known for good cuts, easy conversation, and a welcoming atmosphere. Reviewers consistently describe the shop as relaxed and genuinely friendly, with several citing barbers by name and returning over multiple years.
Alongside the in-person barbershop, Barber & Co operates a nationwide online store selling men's grooming products. The product range covers hair styling (pomades, powders, salt sprays), shaving supplies, beard and moustache products, shampoos and conditioners, clippers and trimmers, face and body care, and gifts and bundles. Brands include the shop's own Barber & Co label alongside Uppercut Deluxe, Suavecito, KillerGroom, and BaBylissPRO. Free shipping applies nationwide on qualifying orders.
A loyalty programme is available through the Barber & Co app, offering discounts and exclusive offers. The Brothers & Co initiative is a connected men's wellness experience — a 'Mens Reset Experience' that has received strong reviews from participants.
Tucked into Five Lanes at the BNZ Centre on Hereford Street, Barber & Co has established itself as one of Christchurch's most respected men's barbershops. The shop sits alongside Robert Harris and Hachi Hachi in the CBD's covered laneway precinct, making it easy to slot in before or after work in the city centre.
The atmosphere is consistently described as relaxed and welcoming — a place where the vibe is as important as the cut. Reviewers talk about good yarns, easy conversation, and a shop that feels like the kind of place you'd bring your mates. One long-term customer noted they'd been coming to the same barber for seven years without a single bad experience.
The Barber & Co team includes five named barbers — Tae, Nga, Brandt, Shane, and Vinny — with the shop's own tagline summing up the approach: "a team that blends craft, culture, and care — dedicated to keeping you sharp, fresh, and feeling your best."
Customer reviews back this up consistently. Multiple reviewers singled out individual barbers and praised both the quality of the cut and the atmosphere of the shop. First-time visitors have noted they got exactly what they asked for — short, tidy, no fuss — while long-term regulars keep returning year after year. The shop bills itself as a premium barbershop and has been rated five stars by its customers.
Bookings are made online via Fresha, with the option to choose a specific barber from the team.
Beyond haircuts, Barber & Co is also behind Brothers & Co, a men's group experience focused on connection and wellbeing. Reviewers who attended described it as a positive, uplifting experience — one called it "a fantastic time with a great set of lads" with a shared mindset of working on themselves. Another simply said it was fun. The experience is available to book through the website and draws on the community culture the barbershop has built.
Barber & Co runs a fully stocked online grooming store alongside the physical shop. The range covers everything from hair styling products (pomades, styling powders, salt sprays) to shaving supplies, beard and moustache products, shampoos and conditioners, hair trimmers, face and body care, and gift bundles.
The shop stocks its own Barber & Co branded range — including the Hair Volumizing Powder, described as the barber's choice for instant matte volume and hold — alongside Uppercut Deluxe, Suavecito, KillerGroom, BaBylissPRO, and Poo Pourri. Multi-pack bundles offer meaningful savings: twin packs and three-packs are available across the styling powder and pomade ranges, with discounts of up to 21% compared to buying individually.
Free shipping applies nationwide on orders over $100, and a Barber & Co loyalty app offers discounts and exclusive offers for regular customers.
