About Barber Spence & Co
Barber Spence & Co is a modern barbershop based in Bellevue, Brookfield, Tauranga, founded in 2023 by director Spencer, who was born and raised in Tauranga. The shop is built on the philosophy that a trip to the barber should offer much more than just a fresh haircut—it provides a relaxed, professional setting that actively champions men's mental health and wellbeing.
With a team of skilled barbers including Spencer, Corey, Juda, and casual staff, Barber Spence & Co delivers a comprehensive range of grooming services. From crisp skin fades and classic cuts to tailored beard styling, buzz cuts, and kids' hair trims, the team takes pride in attentive listening and quality craftsmanship.
The barbershop fosters an inclusive, community-focused space where clients of all generations—from toddlers getting their first haircut to Gold Card holders—can feel at ease, share a conversation, and leave looking and feeling sharp.
Barber Spence & Co: Community-First Male Grooming and Connection in Tauranga
Opening its doors in 2023, Barber Spence & Co has established itself as an essential part of the Brookfield and Bellevue community in Tauranga. Founded by local director Spencer, the shop was built on a straightforward yet vital premise: a barbershop should be a welcoming sanctuary where men can relax, talk openly, and take care of both their grooming and personal wellbeing.
From the moment you step inside the shop on Bellevue Road, the environment sets itself apart. It is designed to be an approachable, authentic space where active conversation and positive connections are valued as much as sharp line-ups. Spencer and the team openly support men's mental health, ensuring every visitor feels comfortable taking a seat in the chair.
Precision Grooming and Modern Barbering
The service menu at Barber Spence & Co covers the complete spectrum of modern barbering and traditional grooming. The barbering team—consisting of Spencer, Corey, Juda, and support staff—brings extensive experience in technical fading, classic scissor work, and sharp beard detailing.
Clients looking for modern short styles can choose between skin fades, zero fades, razor fades, and clean tapers. For those wanting a thorough change, the shop offers full restyles and premium cuts that include extended consultations to find the right look for your hair texture and lifestyle. Beards are treated with equal care, whether booked as a standalone trim or combined with a cut for a full groom.

First-time haircuts for toddlers and young children are approached with patience and a calm, reassuring manner that puts young kids and parents at ease.
