Craft Studio is a locally owned and operated barbershop in Addington, Christchurch. The studio sits inside Recreate Gym, down the foyer and up the stairs, and describes its goal as offering premium-quality services that showcase the craftsmanship and passion the team has for barbering.

Services centre on traditional and contemporary barbering performed by a small team of barbers. The studio states a focus on precise cuts, trims and grooming tailored to each client. The description highlights a commitment to premium service and careful technique, with staff concentrating on the craft of barbering rather than broader salon treatments.

Customers tend to report positive, consistent experiences. Reviews mention professional service, close attention to detail, value for money and barbers who are skilled and personable. Several reviewers singled out individual barbers by name and described noticeably good results, while others said the shop provided some of the best cuts in town.

Locally owned and based in central Christchurch, Craft Studio combines a neighbourhood setting with a craft-focused approach to barbering. The tucked-away location inside the gym foyer contributes to a quiet, familiar atmosphere. The combination of stated craftsmanship, a small team and strong review themes distinguishes Craft Studio for clients seeking careful, skilled barbering in Addington.

01Google listingMarketbase business report

Your Google listing

Craft Studio's Google Business Listing shows a below-average health level, with room to improve visibility and brand consistency. Key strengths include a complete address, a listed phone number, and active claim status, ensuring control over business details. The listing lacks a website link and a logo, which limits customer access and recognition.

Strengths

  • ✓
    Open statusYour listing shows the business as trading, so customers see accurate availability and Google treats the listing as live.
  • ✓
    ClaimedYour listing is claimed, so you control what it says, you can reply to reviews, and edits suggested by the public come to you first.
  • ✓
    NameYour business name is showing on the listing, so a customer searching for you by name finds you, and everything else on the listing hangs off it.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    WebsiteYour listing has no website link, so a customer who wants to check your prices or your work before ringing has nowhere to go from Google.
  • 2
    LogoYour listing has no logo, so in a list of local results yours is the one with a blank space where every competitor has a mark.
  • 3
    Description lengthYour description gives a reader less than half the listings here do, so someone reading yours and then a competitor's gets less to go on from you.

  • 3
    Review confidenceRating and volume together put you ahead of most of this market, which means a customer sees a well-rated business with enough reviews behind it to be believed.

Where customers find you

Craft Studio shows an average health score with modest social presence. The strongest point is a very high trust Facebook profile, while opportunities exist to improve TikTok and LinkedIn presence, and to list on NoSecretSalon. The overall health indicates gradual momentum, with clear paths to broaden reach without major overhauls.

Your hours against demand

Craft Studio's opening hours match several key high-demand windows but leave notable weekday lunchtime gaps. The shop is open for strong Saturday and Wednesday late-morning and midday peaks, covering core customer searches. However, closure during Monday and Tuesday lunch hours misses regular demand. No low-demand open hours were flagged, so the main focus should be closing lunchtime gaps where commercially sensible.
