My favourite hairdressers in Auckland!…read more As someone with curly hair it can be really hard to find a hairdresser that understands how to cut curls and what really works when it comes to de-frizzing and hydrating your hair. The stylists at Exile have never let me down on this front. Nor have they let me down when it comes to a full head of highlights - the stylists are experienced and know exactly what they're doing. They are also incredibly friendly, with most of them being quite young. Their age means they are the perfect hairdressers for young adults - they know what is fashionable, how to rock certain colours and styles and that saving money is important where possible! Amber and Sarah are my two heroes when it comes to my hair! Always full of advice and banter, we talk about everything from hair to fashion, travel to music. I highly recommend both of these lovely ladies, especially if you have curly hair! Tip: If you're a student and go during the week, student prices are available and mean a good haircut and colour can be yours!

It would be smart to come hair (see what I did there?) Seriously though, great service. I cannot…read morespeak for the hairdressing, although a male friend of mine comes here and he says it is good and his hair looks okay so if you want to go by that and come here for a hair cut, by all means do so. This review is with respect to the waxing. A friend of mine told me about this place, said she had been and it was the bet wax she had ever had, so I went the following week. She was right, I still come here. What is different is the wax they use. It is not strip wax. The hot wax is applied to your skin, it cools and becomes like a thick film on your skin at which point the beauty therapist peels it off like a plaster, no pain. It is formulated to only take out the hair, it only adheres to the hair, not your skin. That is why you should go, painless waxing, it is possible. Great professional staff too, clean facilities and private rooms. I recommend it highly.

As difficult as curly hair gets, I take random ideas to Jo, and she always makes sure to pick the best for me. I like how she suggests the best options and also, listens to what I want. It's a good mix, and definitely, I would recommend. A great creative-happy soul! All of them are so nice and they all give a great head massage while conditioning too and tea-coffee is always around in case u are a tea/coffee lover! :P

I booked online late one night and early the next morning there was a reply. They confirmed I could…read morehave the time and day and cutter I requested too, so the speed and accuracy of their booking service is excellent. The staff were professional and curteous, the salon was nicely appointed, and the staff didn't do the big push of products that you sometimes get. I got my hair cut into more or less its existing style, and the cutter, Lisa, really listened to what I wanted and got it right. A few weeks later, I got a voucher in the mail offering me a free blow wave, as a welcome for being a new customer, which I thought was really nice. I think if you introduce a new client you get a reward voucher too. The prices are a little on the high side, but I'm going back.

I was very disappointment from the services received at Zurri Ellerlise on my wedding day. On a…read moremorning which should be most exciting and happy I was left upset,frustrated and distressed. The hairdresser spent no time to work through and discuss what I had wanted for my hair. Stating that they could not work the picture style options I had given them. I had clearly stated I did not want anything tight and pulled back, but that is exactly what my hair looked like. Not once was I asked about how I wanted to work with my hair. I was so upset and left crying in the bathroom. My bridesmaids were poorly taken care of. Reporting to me that the hairdresser had slapped her hand when she asked about her hair falling out of place in the front. My other bridesmaid who was in the chair for less then 5 minutes to have a bow clip placed in her hair and charged $30. They were left with limp curls and messy plaits which did not hold for the day, falling out before we even left for the wedding ceramony. After frequenting the salon previously for similar services and always being happy with the result I was tremendously disgruntled on my wedding day. I would not be recommending Zurri Ellerslie salons services to anyone. I was very upset at how the morning was handled in the salon.

I was slightly skeptical when I entered and there were two old men having their hair cut, another…read morewaiting and I wondered if this was a barber shop. I asked the lady if I could make an appointment to which she replied "you want hair cut now?" Why yes that was what I wanted actually, I said yes and like magic another lady appeared from a back room, I was going to get my hair cut! She asked what I wanted, so I told her and when I mentioned tidying up my fringe she nodded and vocally agreed that this was in order. First off, to wear non covered in footwear, she must be fairly confident with the scissors so I was confident I had come to the right place. After all, cutting hair for over a decade, I'd say she was pro. I had a dry cut, which lets face it, after your hair is washed and towel dried it is about as wet as what it was when mine was sprayed with a water bottle. My hair was layered, ends trimmed and fringe cut all in around 30 minutes, I was so impressed. My hair looked way better than it did previously and for only $35. You can't beat that. There isn't anywhere that would but hair of my length for under $65. I was stoked.

Is it racist to say that Korean hairdressers are better than people from other cultures? Political…read morecorrectness aside, that has been my experience. I have been to several Korean hairdressers and they are always so good at what they do, and the ladies at Missha hair are no exception. When I first sat down and discovered that there was a significant language barrier between myself and the girl who was about to cut my hair, I felt skeptical. I described to her what I wanted done, nothing to fancy, just a bit off the top and a bit more off the sides, she nodded her head and smiled in a way which revealed that she understood none of what I had just said. In a charade of hand gestures, I made a second attempt to tell her what i wanted, soon just giving up, and giving her the thumbs up to let her know she could start cutting. I was taken aback by the speed which this woman could use scissors, 10 minutes later I was left with one of the best haircuts I have ever had (nothing close to what i asked for).
