Norris Barbers

Overview

The granddaddy of Wellington barbers, Norris Barbers have been purveying sophisticated grooming well before it was on-trend to do so. Already boasting a decade of experience under his belt and a keen attentiveness to the demands of the modern male, Chris Norris opened his doors back in 1992 under the motive of providing no-fuss cuts for men, but with a hairdresser’s standard for craft.

Norris Barbers now has two locations, with a third on the way. Their stores are clean and minimalist – furnished in open whites and warmly-toned woods – and have a relaxed, low-key feel. But every spot also has Chris’s proficiency as a craftsman, usually in the form of his intricate model sailboats or restored motorcycles. Of course, if you really want proof of what he can do with his hands, just check the newly furnished follicles of whichever patron he serviced last.
