Boar & Blade Ponsonby

Been going here for the past 2-3 years and realised I have never left a review. The place is top notch. This is the real deal, barber shop through and through. Each barber is extremely well trained as professional barbers . I have had the pleasure of calling Stitch my barber. This guy is insanely thorough and really takes bride in his work, to the extent that he has remembered my head shape (dimples and all) and knows exactly how to cut it.Today I came into my appointment and Stitch was running 30minutes behind, instead of making me wait around and rush his appointments he suggested I come back after hours. I was happy to do so. He sorted my out after closing and was the last one left in the shop. Things like that will make me come here for life.Great work guys, keep it up!

Elliot does a job way better than Gillette getting that foil head shave as close as possible. Definitely coming back if I’m in Auckland and need a good haircut

Booked myself day before, came 5 minutes late ( sorry about that ) but from there it went downhill. They look like a pro barbershop but the result was very dissapointing. I went to lots of barbershops in many countries and it never ended up that badly...Told the guy to please do zero sides to bit more on top and just shorten the top long hair. Some minutes into it after my enquiry about the zero guy said he doesnt do skin fit as they call it here. Ok... Then the way how he just shaved top side part round instead of cutting it with scissors bit square to make nice shape of head as everybody else is doing... All was done in like 25 minutes and he gave me some discount cuz he doesnt do skin fit so 35... Then I came home and realized how he did the back of my head... (check photo with hair over whole back of head and hole in top right corner) Whats up with that hole in top right...So if you dont have time / mood / skill / whatever just tell before hand and dont destroy my hair... I could have got proper haircut for proper price somewhere else... This way is a loss for everybody... ( also including a picture of what i expect from proper barber from seriously looking barbershop, photo with nice fade back on the head )EDIT: i tried to add photos like 4 times, were always removed... As, for questions in reply, why i gave 1 star is explained inthis review.

Very disappointed today, I had an appointment booked for 9.30am today for called to advise that I am running late. They said ok no problem and when I came in they turned me away as i was 9 mini late and 21 minutes isn’t enough for a hair cut. I don’t live in this area and usually took me 30 minutes to come and I will drive another 30 minutes home without my haircut.

Had a haircut with the man Kirk on 4th July, he was an absolute legend! Saved my terrible cut prior and was an even better bloke too. Can’t say anything bad about them or their service!

Went here as my usual was fully booked. Took recommendations from Denz....Cut was good but my usual washes hair and provides product to finish, didn't get that at B&B with a zero fade. No issues with the cut but won't be back sorry chaps.

I had an absolutely fantastic experience with this barber. I went in after having a terrible haircut elsewhere where I was left with uneven and wispy hair, and I was desperately in need of help. Fortunately, this barber came to the rescue and completely turned things around.From the moment I walked in, the barber was incredibly friendly and professional, taking the time to understand what I was looking for and what had gone wrong with my previous cut. They were clearly very experienced and knowledgeable, and I felt completely confident in their abilities.The end result was nothing short of amazing. My hair was completely transformed, with a perfect balance of length and texture that looked both natural and stylish. The barber paid attention to every detail, making sure that everything was perfect before I left the salon.Overall, I couldn't be happier with my experience at this barber, and I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a skilled and talented stylist. If you're looking for a great haircut, this is definitely the place to go.

Got a beard trim yesterday from Charles. Did a great job and will definitely be going back again.

This is the only place to go to.Yap is on point and runs a friendly yet tight ship. The level of professionalism and brotherhood is perfect. Give it a try and you will be impressed. I have being going there for 2 years.

Big ups to Elliot, good bloke to talk to but more importantly gives great haircuts. Went in unsure what to get but he walked me through a few options and it turned out mean. Go get your haircut by him.Cheers.
