   Cuba St Social

   Master Barber Wayne Newman runs this Leftbank spot like Wellington's living room — sofas, coffee table, zero rush. Fades and cuts that hold, in the most laid-back waiting area on Cuba Street.

   Cuba Barbers

   The Courtenay Barbers offshoot that kept the good chat and the sharp fades but moved into Cuba Street's chaos. Come for the haircut, stay because the shop itself is a proper piece of Cuba Street character.

   Courtenay Barbers

   Tucked into buzzy Courtenay Place, this is the pre-night-out trim of choice for half of Te Aro. Consistent fades, no-fuss booking, open right through the weekend when most barbers have shut up shop.

   Miss Fox Hairdressing

   Cuba Street's go-to for vivid colour and blonding done properly — not a quick box-dye job. If you want a fantasy colour that actually holds its tone, this is the boutique to book, well ahead of time.
