NEW ZEALAND'S FIRST SUSTAINABLE BARBERSHOP.

As New Zealand’s first sustainable barbershop, we’re proud to partner with Sustainable Salons and Davines.

Our friendship with Davines has grown from a common passion. We made the conscious decision to use Davines exclusively for our hair and scalp care, because we believe in what they do, that much.

- Metals, paper, aluminium, foil, colour tubes, magazines, razor blades, used tools and select disposables are sold for recycling. The proceeds are donated to Kiwi Harvest and OzHarvest to provide meals for disadvantaged people.

- Hair clippings are stuffed into stockings to make hair booms that will clean up oil spills along our coastlines.

- Plastic packaging is sent to plastic recyclers where it is cleaned and turned into outdoor furniture and new product packaging.
