Counties Cuts is a barber at 32 King Street in Pukekohe, Franklin, with a Google rating of 4.6 from 96 reviews. Customers often mention the attention to detail and the care taken over the finish, and one reviewer felt the end of a haircut was rushed.
A good barber is judged on the finish, since the last few minutes of a cut show how much care was taken. Busy shops can have a queue, so visiting early in the week or outside the peak hours helps. Some regulars bring a photo of the length and fade they want, which makes it easier for the barber to match it. If a cut feels rushed, it is reasonable to say so at the chair, since a good barber will take a moment to tidy the detail.
For a regular cut or a fade in central Pukekohe, it is worth going early in the day or during a quieter time.
