Chico Barbershop is a barber at 10 Rangiora Street in Castlecliff, the coastal suburb of Whanganui, with a 5.0 rating from 23 Google reviews.
A good neighbourhood barber lives by the clippers as much as the scissors: fades, tapers and tidy beards are the bread and butter, and the difference between an average cut and a sharp one comes down to the blending. Come prepared — a photo on your phone, or the clipper guard number from your last cut, gets you closer than vague instructions. Regulars tend to stick with one barber and return every four or five weeks, since short cuts lose their shape quickly and a barber who knows your head works faster and truer. When trying a new shop, ask for a simple trim before committing to a full restyle.
For Castlecliff locals, a well-liked barbershop on Rangiora Street means a proper haircut without the trip into central Whanganui.
