OUR BARBERS​

Jason, Owner

Named Wellington's Best Barber by Top Reviews

Barbercraft NZ Master Section Shave Winner 2017

​

Aged 30, born and bred in France, I have a total of 15 years experience in the hairdressing industry. I love what I do and after completing 4 years of hairdressing studies, 4 years of salon experience, 2 years of freelance work as a barber, and 2 years working in a barbershop, I finally had the opportunity to create my own unique French inspired shop. The French Barber, now 3 years old, is a professional and warm environment that I guarantee you will leave smiling and feeling confident that you have had the highest quality grooming experience. 

Jamie, Salon Manager

Born in England and bred in Nelson, I have 2 years of experience in the Barbering Industry.  

​

I was introduced to Barbering by a Frenchman, as traditional as they come. The French foundation of my barbering knowledge has definitely shaped the barber I am today - professional and attentive. I look forward to collaborating with you in an enjoyable experience at The French Barber. 

Allan, Salon Manager

Born in South America, I grew up in France where I completed my hairdressing certificate. I then head off to Australia where I started my career in barbering. 
 

I really love what I do as it allows me to meet new people and continuously improve myself. The great part is that it also allows me to work and travel. It really is more of a passion then a job, and I look forward to sharing it with you. 

Kevin, Men's Stylist

Born and bred in Argentina, I have been traveling around the world for two years. I am a professional Hairdresser with 6 years of experience in the industry and almost 2 years of experience in barbering. I decided to combine my passion for traveling and barbering so that I could have a lifestyle that allows me to keep developing my career while being able to explore the world and meet the locals.

Come in and see me to enjoy a coffee and a chat -  the haircut is included.

Samy, Men's Stylist

​

Hi, Samy here! Qualified in France, I learnt the barbering trade from the Parisian master of the traditional French shave and scissor cut. I then worked for Sébastien Paco at Gentleman and Gentleman 1919, the best men's hair salons in France. In addition to this, I have also worked as a barber on the street providing haircuts to the homeless. 

​

I'm very happy to be here in New Zealand!
