The Cut Cutting Bar is a barber and hairdresser destination on Goulstone Rd in Whakatane. It carries The Cut name, which operates as both The Cut Cutting Bar and The Cut Barbers and Hair Salon — a set-up that puts the barber chair and salon hairdressing under one banner.
The branch works around appointments, which can be arranged through the brand's website alongside an outline of its services. Beyond the chair, the site also carries a Shop Essentials section covering the product side of the business.
This listing covers the Whakatane branch specifically. The Cut lists several locations across its site, so it pays to confirm you're booking the Goulstone Rd salon when arranging a visit.
A barbershop and a hair salon share a name on Goulstone Rd. The Cut Cutting Bar is part of The Cut, the brand behind both The Cut Cutting Bar and The Cut Barbers and Hair Salon, and its Whakatane branch brings the two together: barbers and hairdressers, operating under the one roof.
For locals, that combined identity is genuinely convenient. One household can cover barber cuts and salon hairdressing at the same address, rather than debating which door to head for — the answer on Goulstone Rd is the same either way.
The Cut runs its Whakatane branch on an appointments basis. Rather than turning up and hoping for a free chair, customers arrange a time through the Appointments section of the brand's website. It is a simple model that suits working weeks and school runs alike: pick your service, pick your slot, and the chair is yours when you arrive.
Booking ahead also gives the team a clear picture of the day, which is part of why the appointments system sits at the centre of the website, alongside the Services and Locations pages.
The website organises the business around two headings — its barbers and hairdressers services, and a Shop Essentials section for the products side of things. The Services page is where the current menu of cuts and hairdressing lives, so it is the best place to check before you book, since offerings can be updated by the team at any time.
The Cut is not a single-door operation. The brand's website carries a Locations page listing several branches, and this listing is specifically for the Whakatane site at 86 Goulstone Rd. If you are booking online, a quick check that you have selected the right branch will save a confusing drive.
The branch address is 86 Goulstone Rd, Whakatane. Hours and direct contact details for this branch are not published on the page this listing is drawn from, so the safest route is to book through the website's Appointments section, where available times will show you when the doors are open. If you are new to the salon, the Services page will give you the current rundown before you lock in a time.
Between its dual barber-and-salon identity, its appointment-first booking and its place in a multi-location brand, The Cut Cutting Bar has set itself up as a straightforward option for hair in Whakatane: one address, two disciplines, and a chair waiting when your appointment comes around.
