Frankie & Son Christchurch centrals newest hotspot barbershop is the place to be. With 2 boutique shops at either end of the CBD their following is fastly growing.

Frankie & Son Barbershop’s first proper outlet opened with four chairs at Riverside Lane in February this year. The boutique 40-room Muse art hotel, which houses their second shop, opened in may.

Drawing inspiration from Art Deco Interior Design of very glamorous, elegant, functional and modern; Frankie & Son created a Barber shop with a difference.

A family owned and operated business, husband and wife team, Stu Tafua and Tori Wiki have created 2 boutique barbershops which is now known for their full services and high end approach to barbering.

Named after their two eldest children, Frankie & Sonny, the salon's look is not your typical barber shop, featuring dried flowers, plants and an emerald and blush colour scheme.

It is definitely the new up and coming hotspot so be sure to book in online to secure an appointment.
