Marki's Barbershop sits in Christchurch's City Centre, home to the Marki Co product range built on more than a decade and a half of real barbershop experience. Founder Marcos Aquilante developed the range after 15 years behind the chair, aiming for products that are simple to use and give consistent, reliable results whether you're at the shop or styling at home.
The shop's philosophy starts with the haircut itself: precision, consistency and attention to detail behind the chair, carried through into every product on the shelf. There are no gimmicks in the Marki Co range, just barber-grade formulas designed to do exactly what they're meant to do, from sea salt sprays for texture and volume to clays and creams for hold and definition.
Customers can book a haircut online or shop the full product range in person or through the website, picking up single items or one of the curated styling sets built around a specific finish - matte, textured or wet-look. The shop is active on Instagram, Facebook, YouTube and TikTok as @markisbarberstudio / @marki.aq for style inspiration and behind-the-chair content.
Found at 243 Cambridge Terrace, Unit 6, Christchurch City, Marki's Barbershop combines classic barbering with a retail range built specifically for everyday styling and maintenance.
In Christchurch's City Centre, Marki's Barbershop pairs classic barbering with a product range built entirely from experience behind the chair. The shop's approach is straightforward: everything starts with the haircut, and everything else - including the products on the shelf - is held to the same standard of precision, consistency and attention to detail.
The Marki Co product range grew directly out of barbershop work. After 15 years in the industry, founder Marcos Aquilante set out to build formulas that actually perform day in and day out, rather than chasing trends or gimmicks. The result is a lineup of barber-grade products designed to be easy to use and dependable, whether they're being used in the shop between cuts or at home the next morning.
That range includes styling essentials like the Sea Salt Spray, Texture Powder, Matt Clay and Curl Cream, alongside curated styling sets - the Matte Finish Kit, Texture Kit and Wet Look Kit - built around specific finishes so customers can put together a complete routine rather than guessing which products work together.
One Christchurch customer, Sam, gave the range a five-star review, noting that it delivers "great hold without heaviness, gives good volume and keeps the style in place all day" without feeling greasy - exactly the kind of everyday reliability the brand is built around.
Marki's Barbershop makes it simple to either book a haircut appointment online or shop the product range directly through the website, so customers who can't make it into the City Centre shop can still pick up their usual products. The full range and styling sets are browsable on the shop page, with new items added to the lineup over time.
Founder Marcos Aquilante built Marki Co on the idea that barbershop-quality results shouldn't stop when a customer leaves the chair. The brand shares behind-the-scenes content, styling tips and product use on Instagram and TikTok as @markisbarberstudio and @marki.aq, and on YouTube as @markiaq, giving customers a look at the techniques and products behind the finished look.
Marki's Barbershop is located at 243 Cambridge Terrace, Unit 6, in Christchurch City.

For anyone in the City Centre after a fresh haircut and a styling routine that holds up through the day, Marki's is a local option built on real barbering experience rather than passing trends.
