More Than A Haircut
It’s an Exchange of Confidence, Culture, and Connection.
Takoha Ora represents the living equivalent exchange between giving and receiving—where service, experience, and care are offered with intention and received with gratitude.
Through our services, through the way we treat our clients, and through how we support our staff and whānau—everything we give, we give with the belief that it will be returned in balance.
We stand for reciprocal upliftment, authentic connection, and collective growth—not just for ourselves, but for our community.
Welcome to Takoha Ora Barbers — where every service is a living exchange of mana.

Every service is an act of giving and receiving—an exchange of care, skill, and mana that extends beyond the chair.
With two pricing tiers—affordable services from rising talent and premium experiences with senior barbers—you can choose the journey that suits you, knowing the standard of care remains uncompromised.
From fresh fades to tight braids and full grooming experiences, fill your cup here—and keep it full, again and again.
