that was then, this is now. Barbershop & Menswear

Tom is a master of his craft and a perfectionist. Once of the cleanest cuts I have ever had the pleasure of getting. Great chats too. I'll 100% be returning for my next cut

Where to start…dope selection of clothes I don’t often (if ever) find in a NZ store, customer service above and beyond (I email them dumb questions on every online purchase) and quite frankly a saviour if you’re serious about wearing and owning good quality, hard wearing, cool items of clothing. Shout these guys a beer!Since writing this review I have received a pair of RGT ‘ecru’ denim jeans that I recently purchased from the store online. To have the passion and dedication to retail such amazing pieces, let alone during one of the toughest economic times of late, is a true credit to these guys. I take my hat off to them. One of the most important pieces of denim I have ever purchased

Quality goods & custom cuts. We're so proud of Tom & Nat for what they've put together @thatwasthenwgtn & @thatwasthenbarbershop on Lombard Lane. With a mission to fill the void of quality menswear in the Welly fashion market by curating from local & international quality brands, the emphasis here is timeless fashion that's built to last. Workwear for everyday (Red Wings, Sunray & TSPTR), military styling (Buzz Rickson's & Rogue Territory), selvedge denim (Samurai & Sugar Cane) & quality grooming products (Cut Throat & Layrite). Featuring a massive store mural by @juse1ts, utilitarian styling & fitout by @themerrygoroundstore, beaut design by @injectdesign, there's a lot to like here. Plus, Tom's an excellent barber!

Absolutely awesome clothing not found elsewhere in Wellington, or NZ for that matter. Great aesthetic and great cuts - can't wait to see what other clothing comes through the door! Cute dog too!

Not only does Thom always give me an amazing cut, the clothes at that was then are so stylish and the quality is top notch always love coming home with a great cut and some new threads, awesome work Thom and Nat

Very friendly staff, friendly dog too. They gave me a great haircut and even some hair gel along with it! The clothes are awesome too

Nice lil spot for a quality haircut. Tom is exceptionally skilled and has great attention to detail. Both Nat and Tom are always so kind and friendly

Tommy has cut my hair and beard for more than 5 years. I've had to try out other barbers when out of town, etc., but the bro is the best.

The best place for a cut! Have followed tommy across 2 different barber shops so stoked to see him being a owner operator, attention to detail is next level with the cuts and great yarns on the chair also! Super cool retail store with real unique clothing brands that you can't find anywhere else!

Saw a Snoopy t-shirt in the window on a mannequin! They were about to close but got the t shirt for me..nice guys , easy chatting and great range of men's clothing , even for a lady not after a shave or cut!!!
