I liked the way she checked with me often about length, style and fiddly bits like my fringe (which I am notoriously picky about). She got my hair just how I like it, despite this being my first time with her. Absolutely over the moon - it's beautiful. P.s. cost me just $55 for a wash, cut and blow dry.

I had been religiously going to Servilles for years, up until last year when I went overseas for 7…read moremonths on a study exchange. I have to say that I haven't been back since I've been home, mostly due to lack of funds and hair cuts at Servilles not being on the cheap side. That being said however, you definitely pay for what you get - I don't really remember a time where I left Servilles unhappy with my haircut, apart from maybe a few times when they cut my fringe a tad short. All of the staff here are really well trained and I always feel safe with my locks in their hands. They all have a great sense of style as well, so you can rest assured knowing that they won't accidentally give you a tacky hair cut that they claim to be the latest 'trend'. So if you care about your hair and you can afford their prices, give them a call and I'm sure they'll be able to squeeze you in on their busy schedule.

One of the top Salons in Auckland, and probably New Zealand, Stephen Marr is the best way to make…read moreget you feeling like a million bucks. The staff are involved in all the top fashion shows, photo shoots and are very highly regarded. You always know you're going to get what you've asked for and that you're getting the lastest advice, techniques and colours. You can always judge a place by their staff and you can tell Stephen Marr is awesome because their staff are awesome. They always look really fashionable, are friendly, and willing to go above and beyond for their customers. I recently went to the Takapuna Salon to get my hair done for a wedding but had booked in at the Newmarket one. Oops. Luckily they rearranged their day to fit me in and I am so grateful as if they hadn't I would've had to of tamed my crazy hair myself! That would not have been fun at all. The salon is also an amazing place with plant walls and cool industrial furniture. They also gave me an awesome coffee to enjoy while being pampered which won me over even more.

I have been a fan of Stephen Marr for 3 years now and I can quite confidently say that this is…read morelargely due to the quality of their staff. Not only are they talented and crazy-cool but they all seem to love their jobs and genuinely care about their clients. Last week I booked in to see Donni at Stephen Marr, having not been to the hairdressers in over 10months. To say my hair had turned into an unruly mane would be an understatement (think 12 year old Hermione Granger). With the only instruction being "pleeeeease fix it", Donni and her colourist Dani set to work and within a few hours I was walking out of there with freshly cut ends and creamy blond highlights. Whole. New. Alex. It must also be mentioned that Stephen Marr/The Department Store has one of the best playlists ever. Any iPod that jumps from 'Stuck in the Middle with You' by Stealers Wheel to 'Ms Jackson' by Outkast is A-OK with me.

For years I have been making regular trips to Stephen Marr. I have been so many times I can't even…read moreremember how many. I was going to Stephen Marr while I was dating a lifeguard with long hair and a penchant for Jager bombs. This was years ago, I converted him and although we didn't work out, he still goes there now. Full disclosure: I go to the same stylist and if he left I would probably try to follow him. That being said, I am happy he remains within that Newmarket salon. It's become a place I feel like I can relax and take a load off. The receptionists are always nice and coffee/tea/wine/water is always immediately offered upon your arrival. The magazine selection is excellent, although I prefer to complain about my life than read during my haircuts. It's not the cheapest place to get your hair done, but I've never left dissatisfied which is a big deal for someone who is very rarely ever satisfied. (Overshare.) Also, Lucy and the Powder Room is upstairs so if you need any spa treatments, you can get everything booked in together and done at once. #efficient

Mmmm mmm mmmmm. It doesn't get better than spending a few hours at Stephen Marr. They're renown for…read moretheir haircutting skills and I can testify to this. The best thing about here is that they have an option called the 'Runway Touchup'. With this you get your hair tonged, nails did, makeup put on all while you down a red wine or long black. It will seriously change your life. And it has done for me before many events and weddings. It just takes the whole stress out of the occasion, as I know they'll get it right. And I can just sit down and relax then hit the evening like I own it. The staff are super friendly and wiling to go above and beyond for you. They're also good at suggesting something different for you that you never would have thought of and they come out on top every time.

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!

The professionalism of the team at Rodney Wayne is fantastic; they are all very stylish with cool and hip hair styles themselves. I filled out a customer form as this was my first visit to their branch, and this enabled them to keep me up to date with the latest deals in the future.
