Beard'n Flame is a premium barbershop founded by Alex Faria, a master barber with over 26 years of experience in the industry. The business opened its first location in 2023 at 142E Lyttelton Street in Spreydon, Christchurch, built on a philosophy of combining classic barbering skills with modern style in a space full of smiles and energy.
Driven by client trust and growing demand, Beard'n Flame expanded in July 2025 to a second location at 21E Bealey Avenue in Merivale — bringing the barbershop to the north side of Christchurch. Both sites specialise in men's and children's haircuts, with fades, clean cuts, and beard grooming as the core offerings.
Seniors are welcomed with exclusive pricing at both locations, recognising that every gentleman deserves quality care. Beard'n Flame is active on Instagram (@beard_n_flame), Facebook, and TikTok (@beardflame), where their work is regularly shared.
Alex Faria has been cutting hair for over 26 years. That's a career spent learning the grain of hair, the shape of faces, and the difference between a cut that technically works and one that genuinely suits the person in the chair. When he opened Beard'n Flame in Christchurch in 2023, he brought all of that experience to bear on a single idea: a premium barbershop where men and boys could get exactly the cut they wanted.
The first location opened at 142E Lyttelton Street in Spreydon, on the south side of Christchurch. The tagline — "Where Style Meets Tradition" — captures the approach: classic barbering skills applied with an eye for what works today. The result was a shop that filled quickly with regulars.
By July 2025, Beard'n Flame had grown enough to open a second location. The new site at 21E Bealey Avenue in Merivale extends the barbershop's reach to the north side of the city — a more central suburb that brings Beard'n Flame within easy reach of a much wider Christchurch clientele. As the website puts it, the expansion happened "thanks to the trust of our clients" — a straightforward acknowledgement that the first shop earned its growth.
The Merivale location operates under the same hours as Spreydon: Monday to Wednesday from 8:30am to 5pm, Thursday and Friday from 8:30am to 6pm, and Saturday from 9am to 2pm. Both locations are closed on Sundays and public holidays.
The service focus is men's and children's haircuts — fades, clean cuts, and expert beard grooming. The barbershop describes its mission plainly: to make clients look and feel their best, one cut at a time.
Seniors are acknowledged with exclusive pricing. As the website frames it: "every gentleman deserves the best" — a gesture that recognises a clientele that's often underserved by trend-focused barbershops.
