About My Business

At The Chairman Barber Shop, we offer a full range of traditional and modern barbering services - from scissor cuts and classic styles to beard trims, fades, and shaves - all provided by our fully qualified barber, Thomas. Located in the heart of Paraparaumu Beach, we are a small, family-run business that takes pride in our first-customer approach. Every client who walks through our door feels welcome, valued, and well looked after. Our appointments are longer at 45 minutes and more personal - set in a private, professional studio created for comfort and calm. We focus on quality over speed. Appointments are essential. Owned and operated by us, husband-and-wife duo Thomas and Paige, The Chairman Barber Shop was born from passion and resilience. We began building our dream just after the birth of our first child, turning a redundancy into an opportunity. Now, six months in, we’ve earned nothing but five-star reviews and are 100% recommended locally. With a growing client base and a growing family - we welcomed our second child just months after opening - there’s nothing we won’t do to keep raising the bar and delivering the very best.

Why We Should Win The Peoples Choice Award

Vote for us because we’re more than just a barber shop - we’re a small, family-owned business that’s committed to making a real difference in our community. In just six months, we’ve turned a dream into reality, overcoming every challenge along the way - from navigating the complexities of starting a business to managing a full renovation of the space beforehand. But it’s not just about what we’ve done - it’s about who we’ve done it for. We’ve created a space where everyone feels welcome, from our neurodiverse and disabled clients to those who need a quieter, more patient environment for their children’s haircuts. With a first-customer approach, we take the time to listen, care, and provide a professional, tailored service - whether it’s a fresh haircut, a beard trim, or a shave. Our clients know we’re here for them, not just to provide great service but to genuinely make them feel valued and heard. We’ve also built our business with nothing but 5-star reviews and a 100% recommendation rate on Facebook. In just six months, we’ve gained 132 likes and 230 followers on Facebook, and 60 followers on Instagram - all without a huge marketing budget, relying on word of mouth, social media, and local outreach. We hand-deliver flyers to local businesses and residential areas, engage with clients online 24/7, and show up at community events to make sure our neighbours know we're here. Every client who walks through our door is treated like family, and we’re proud to be part of a community that’s helped us grow. Voting for us means supporting a business that’s not only providing quality service but is also committed to inclusivity, patience, and professionalism. Vote for us and help us continue doing what we love - offering the very best to our clients and our community.
