The Cutting Booth is a barber at 229 Heretaunga St W in central Hastings. It has a 4.7 rating on Google.
A good barber listens before cutting. Expect a short chat about how you wear your hair, how often you visit and what you want to change, then a cut that suits your head shape and hair type. Neat clipper work, careful scissor work, tidy edges and a clean neckline are the marks of a good cut, and many barbers also trim beards and finish with a razor. Bringing a photo helps, and so does saying which clipper guard number you usually have. Regulars know that booking ahead is wise on Fridays and Saturdays, and that returning every few weeks keeps a short style looking sharp. A good barber will also be honest if a style will not suit your hair, and will show you how to style it at home.
For anyone in central Hastings looking for a cut or beard trim, The Cutting Booth on Heretaunga Street West is a local option.
