A good barber is as much about the chat as the cut; the best ones ask what you want, look at how your hair actually sits, and will say plainly when a style won't work. Plenty of people stay loyal to a barber for the yarns as much as the clipper work. Regulars know a tight fade or short back and sides loses its shape within weeks, so they go back before it turns scruffy, and on an island that fills up over summer it pays to check ahead.
For locals and visitors on Waiheke, Preto brings that mix of a sharp cut and easy company to Ocean View Road in Oneroa.
