I had a fantastic experience at Elite Studios Whakatu. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with a warm welcome and a relaxed, friendly atmosphere. The shop is clean, stylish, and clearly run by professionals who care about their craft.

Manaia took the time to understand exactly what I wanted and delivered a perfect cut—clean, sharp, and exactly to my specifications. He paid great attention to detail and made sure I was happy every step of the way.

What really stood out was the genuine care and pride in his work. You can tell this isn’t just a job for them—it’s a passion. I left feeling fresh, confident, and already looking forward to my next visit.

Highly recommend Elite Studios Whakatu to anyone looking for quality grooming, great service, and a barbershop experience that actually feels personal.

10/10 customer service. Good communication and professionalism from Manaia Tawaka. Highly recommend.

Great cut, great service
