β€œTo make a fine gentleman, several trades are required, but chiefly a barber.”

Owner/ Operator Gus Hislop believes barbershops hold an important yet unique position in every community, a place where men and boys of all ages, backgrounds and walks of life intersect. A place men can go for companionship, conversation and uplifting, as well as high level service and expertise. The first Barbershop in Kaikoura for over 50yrs, By the Blade is the only place to visit for men who want to look and feel their absolute best. Its not just a haircut, its an experience.
