Capital Barbers

Great true gentleman barber.Takes time and care in the cut.Plus you won’t get charged upwards of $100 like in these other “modern” barbers that are springing up everywhere.Value for money with traditional charm.If you have time, get a shave.It’s an experience, relaxation and meditation in itself

$35 for a haircut in central Wellington was a reasonable price. I got my hair cut by Ali, who took care, was friendly and knew what he was doing. I got exactly what I was after, and will be back.

Was great. Cut my two kids’ hair just how they wanted, very patient and accommodating and a top job. Also very well priced for Wellington. Even let my daughter watch Netflix while we were there! Also did a great job with my hair afterwards. Definitely recommend.

The young man with the really good hair is by far the best. Always insist on getting him to cut you hair. The older man was on a phone call while cutting my hair and instead of fading the sides from a 1 to an 8 like I asked he just shaved the sides at a number 1. Come on dude that's really unprofessional. Have to go to a wedding looking like a road cone now thanks.

The guy who cut my hair was really awesome! I was a bit tired of my long hair and he did best for me. He was very kind and friendly so that I felt comfortable so much. I would go there again next month! He is the best barber that I have ever had. I strongly recommend him to y'all.

Ali is great and really gives attention to detail when cutting your hair. And the shop also has a great atmosphere, nice and cozy. Highly recommended, definitely will come back for a haircut! Also super cheap, student price is only $22 and I didn't even ask for it.

Two weeks ago I got a great cut with a low fade from one of their more senior barbers. Today, I asked for the same haircut, and a different barber left me with a high and tight. I’ll be wearing hats for a month.

Dropped in as i was passing by shop. While you don't expect perfect styling from a barber there is an expectation that the people employed to cut hair have a decent level of competence. Lets just say I am glad hair grows back, but it wasn't a total disaster either. The stylist was extremely rough, it felt like I was in a rugby match at times and my scalp was literally throbbing afterwards.The shop itself was small and boutique which was nice. It was quite dirty on closer inspection though and it didn't appear anyone was interested in cleaning away the hair. The equipment was recycled from one person to the next with not sign of hygiene being a priority or sterilizing products around.There was very little discussion or banter which is usually an enjoyable part of going to a barber. The stylist I had appeared as if he could have been awake for the last 48 hours given his zombie like demeanor. Maybe he was just having a bad day...Whatever the excuses its not somewhere I would be rushing back to.

I asked him wether he could change it because I wasn't satisfied at all but he told me that he could just cut 15 minutes on me and not more (and I had to pay 40 dollars for a normal cut - even as a student).I don't know how they usually deal with customers but on this day they were very unpolite (maybe because I walked in 40 before they close).
