Walking into a barber shop isn’t just about getting a haircut—it’s a chance to consult a grooming expert. I'm Phil The Rocking Barber, Auckland CBD’s go-to barber for sharp styles, and I hear the same three questions almost every day. Here’s how I answer them (and how you can use these tips to rock your look).
1. “What’s the Best Haircut for My Face Shape?”
This is the #1 question in any barber shop—and for good reason. The right haircut can highlight your best features, while the wrong one can leave you feeling off-balance.
The Rocking Barber’s Guide to Face Shapes
Oval Face: Lucky you! Almost any style works—try a classic pompadour or a textured crop.
Square Face: Lean into angular cuts like a sharp fade or a side-parted undercut to complement your jawline.
Round Face: Add height and structure with a faux hawk or a messy quiff.
Long Face: Keep sides fuller and avoid extreme height. A brush-forward style or beard trim can balance proportions.
Pro Tip: Bring inspiration photos to your appointment. A quick consultation ensures we tailor the cut to your bone structure and lifestyle.
2. “How Often Should I Get a Haircut?”
The answer? It depends on your style, hair type, and how polished you want to look.
General Guidelines From An Auckland CBD Barber
Short Hair (fades, undercuts): Every 2–3 weeks to maintain sharp lines.
Medium Hair (quiffs, pompadours): Every 4–6 weeks.
Long Hair (layered cuts): Every 6–8 weeks for trims.
Beard Maintenance: A weekly tidy-up at home, with a professional trim every 2–3 weeks.
Why It Matters: Regular cuts keep split ends at bay and your style looking intentional. As an Auckland CBD barber, I recommend booking your next appointment before you leave my chair—especially if you’re a busy professional.
3. “How Do I Style My Hair at Home?”
Great haircuts deserve great styling. Here’s my no-nonsense routine:
The Rocking Barber’s Styling Secrets
Start with damp hair (not dripping wet).
Apply a pea-sized amount of product (pomade for shine, clay for texture).
Use a blow-dryer to add volume—direct airflow up at the roots.
Finish with a light hairspray for all-day hold.
Pro Tip: Ask me for product recommendations during your cut. I’ll match you with the right tools for your hair type and routine.
Bonus: The Question You Should Be Asking
“How can I make my haircut last longer?”
Use sulfate-free shampoo to preserve your style.
Sleep on a silk pillowcase to reduce frizz.
