TenFold Barbershop sits on Stafford Street in the heart of Timaru Central, and it has quickly earned one of the strongest reputations in town: a perfect 5.0 rating from 353 reviews, built on clean, precise cuts and a genuinely friendly chair-side manner. It is the kind of place where first-timers walk out saying they will be loyal customers for the rest of their hair-growing days.
The shop covers all the men's barbering staples. There is an unhurried one-hour scissor cut and style for those who like extra attention to detail, a quick standard haircut for the time-poor, crisp skin fades, and beard trims and lineups that can be taken on their own or paired with a cut. Dedicated student, kids (12 and under) and senior services keep pricing friendly across generations, and the Father and Son appointment lets dad and son get sorted together in a single hour-long booking.
Behind the chairs are three barbers: Ashton Hurrell, a qualified barber with three years' experience who takes pride in delivering clean, precise cuts and keeping up with the latest trends and techniques; Brooklyn Ngaronoa V; and Natui Saumani Su'a. When you book, you can choose exactly who cuts your hair — and reviewers regularly name-check their favourite, with one local calling Ashton's work 'mint' and a grandmother noting how happy her grandson was with Brooklyn's cut.
Booking is done online through their booking page, where you pick your service, choose your barber and manage appointments — reschedule or cancel straight from your phone if plans change. Hours run Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 9am to 6pm, Tuesday and Thursday from 9am to 5pm, with an early Saturday session from 8am to midday. The shop is closed on Sundays. You will find them at 185 Stafford Street, Timaru Central, and can reach them on +64 27 376 7029 or tenfoldbarbershop@gmail.com.
On Stafford Street in the middle of Timaru Central, TenFold Barbershop has quietly built one of the strongest reputations a barbershop can have: a perfect 5.0 rating across 353 reviews. That kind of consistency doesn't happen by accident. It comes from a simple formula the team clearly takes seriously — clean, precise cuts, a comfortable chair, and a good chat while the clippers do their work.
The reviews tell the story better than any marketing could. One first-time customer left declaring it the best experience and haircut they had ever had, promising to be a loyal returning customer 'for the rest of my hair growing days'. Another raved about a glow-up. A grandmother noted how happy her grandson Braxton was with the cut Brooklyn gave him. And one regular summed up the vibe in a single line: 'Excellent cut, even better chat!'
The service menu covers the full range of men's barbering. If you want the works, the one-hour Men's scissor cut / Style gives the barber time to focus on detail and finish with styling. For a quicker tidy-up, the standard haircut gets you in and out in half an hour. Skin fades are a house strength — a crisp, blended 30-minute service — and beards get the same treatment, whether you want a standalone trim and lineup or the full combo of cut plus beard.
TenFold is also deliberately family-friendly. Kids aged 12 and under have their own service, students have a dedicated cut, seniors get theirs too, and the Father and Son booking is a one-hour appointment that sorts dad and son side by side. It's the kind of option reviewers clearly appreciate — happy kids come up again and again in the feedback.
Three barbers work at TenFold. Ashton Hurrell is a qualified barber with three years of experience who says he takes pride in delivering clean, precise cuts and creating a comfortable experience for every client — and who likes to have a good chat while he works. He's committed to continuous growth, staying sharp with the latest trends and techniques, and helping people look and feel their best when they leave the shop. Alongside him are Brooklyn Ngaronoa V and Natui Saumani Su'a, both bookable for the full service menu.
One genuine advantage of booking here: you choose your barber. Regulars clearly do — reviewers name their favourite by name — and first-timers can pick based on availability or recommendation. Reviews suggest Ashton has something of a following among the locals.
Appointments are made online through TenFold's booking page. You pick your service, choose your team member and lock in a time; you can also reschedule or cancel straight from your phone if plans change, and call +64 27 376 7029 with any questions.
The shop is at 185 Stafford Street, Timaru Central. Hours are Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 9am to 6pm, Tuesday and Thursday from 9am to 5pm, and an early Saturday session from 8am to midday. It's closed on Sundays, so if your weekend only has Saturday in it, booking ahead is wise — a five-hour Saturday window can fill up fast at a barbershop with 353 five-star reviews.
You can keep up with their latest work on Instagram and Facebook, where the gallery of fresh cuts gives you a good sense of the shop's style before you sit down in the chair.
