Blades Barbershop

Meet your Barber : Chris.

How long have you been barbering? Since 2018
Where did you train? Trained by my old Syrian barber, then picked things up from other barbers I worked with.
How long have you been at Blades? 3 years ish

What cuts or styles do you specialise in? I try to be a bit of an all-rounder, shorter to mid length cuts especially.

What's your favourite cut to do and why? Any cut as long as it suits the customer and isn't too hard to style at home.

What's your signature or the cut you're known for? Clean, but slightly more natural styles, low maintenance haircuts. My favourite haircut is one that grows out well and has longevity.

Quick Fire Questions
Fade or scissor cut? Close but fade
Classic or modern? Both- really depends on what suits the customer

The big fella's back!

Deacon took a rugby hit earlier in the season that folded him like a deck chair and cracked a rib.

But he’s upright, moving, warming up on the sideline and ready to trim, fade and banter like nothing happened.

We know half of Upper Hutt has been waiting for him.
