Searching for a barber near you in South Auckland? The Fade Plug is a Papakura barber shop for men’s haircuts, skin fades, beard work and face waxing. Book a chair online and walk out sharp.
We have 8+ years on the clippers, we are open six days a week, and every cut is done with the same routine: a proper chat about what you want, a fade blended by eye, a razor finish, a hot towel and a line check in two mirrors.
Most haircuts take around 30 minutes, so it fits a lunch break or a Saturday morning.
We are based in Papakura and regularly cut hair for people from Takanini, Drury, Manurewa, Papatoetoe, Manukau, Pukekohe and the wider South Auckland area. The full address is sent to you in your booking confirmation email, so you will know exactly where to go before you set off.
“Best” is personal, so judge us on the work. Have a look through the gallery and our TikTok, then book a chair and see for yourself. If you want a men’s haircut or skin fade, a beard shape-up, or a face wax, we can do it all in one visit.
Monday to Friday: 9:00am to 7:00pm
Saturday: 9:00am to 8:00pm
Sunday: closed
Walk-ins are welcome when a chair is free, but booking online guarantees your time. Call or text +64 22 302 2464 if you have a question.
We cut kids aged 5 and over. If your child has any special needs, for example ADHD or autism, please let us know when you book so we can plan the time and go at a pace that works for them. See the house rules for booking fees, cancellations and running late.
The booking fee is not an extra charge. It is a portion of the cost of your service, taken as either a percentage or a fixed amount depending on the service you book. After your service, everything you have paid is treated as a part-payment of the total, so you only pay the remaining balance.
To reschedule or cancel, call us on +64 22 302 2464 or cancel through the website. Bookings can only be changed or cancelled at least 4 hours before your booking time. After that, you will be charged.
We’ll always do our best, but if you’re more than 10 minutes late we may need to adjust your service or rebook.
Payments are processed by Stripe, so we follow Stripe’s payment terms. Any transaction fee that applies for the payment method you use is non-refundable.
If you don’t turn up and have not asked to cancel, you must pay for the time that was booked for you. This will be invoiced to you.
