Daves Barber Shop is an Indian barber at 205 Commerce Street in Frankton, Hamilton, and holds a 4.5 rating on Google. A good barber reads the head in front of them: how the hair grows, where the cowlicks sit, how a cut will settle in a fortnight rather than just on the day. Indian barbers are often known for skills beyond the clipper cut — a confident straight razor on necklines and beards, and the champi scalp massage that some remember long after the hair grows out. Regulars swear by sticking with one barber, because after a couple of visits they carry your shape in their head and you simply say "a bit shorter on top". The habit worth looking for when choosing is a barber who asks questions before the clippers come out. For anyone in Frankton, Daves Barber Shop is the kind of neighbourhood barber that rewards becoming a regular.
