A good barber cuts to the way your hair actually grows, working around cowlicks, thinning crowns and stubborn growth lines rather than forcing a style onto them. Regulars usually settle on one cutter and stay put, because the third or fourth cut is where a barber really proves themselves. It pays to be specific before the clippers come out: how much to take off, whether you want the sides tapered or taken down short, and how you'll wear it between cuts. Someone who asks a couple of questions first and trims conservatively is generally the one worth going back to.
On Rora Street in the heart of Te Kuiti, it's an easy stop for locals after a straightforward cut.
