My hairdresser was Selena and she did a great job, just a little bit rough with the combing, but apart from that I was impressed with my haircut. They had a number of clients coming and going and that's always a great sign. Its easy to get to and plenty of parking nearby and once you get there is very pleasant inside, all that you want a hairdresser to be, I mean they have places to wash your hair and seats so you can sit down while getting your lovely new haircut. I can say I will be back there for my next haircut and wine !!

While you can walk in to this salon with no appointment necessary and get a haircut on the spot, good for the unprepared and spontaneous, of course the appointment approach is best. I quizzed the owner about costs for a haircut, very reasonable at under $30, however when I started probing about how much colour and other treatments would be, she kindly said I'd have to call later since she had a customer to attend to. I would like to be that customer because that screams of a great hairdresser who has your best interests at heart, you are numero uno to the hairdresser whilst sitting in the styling chair. This is a Wella salon, proudly displayed on their signage and it's a neat little salon. Great girlie time-out and a stylish hair style when you walk out the door.

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!

I would recommend making a booking in advance as they always seem very busy,

For me, going to a new hairdresser is always a really daunting experience. I know exactly how I…read morewant my hair to look and am very fussy about ensuring it stays looking that way. Having previously used Toni & Guy salons for a while in the UK and also once in Kuala Lumpur, I thought it would be a sensible move to go to a brand I could trust whilst here in Auckland. Luckily the Auckland salon didn't disappoint. The girl I had, Vicki, was really attentive and listened to exactly what I wanted before making a start on my cut. She worked really quickly; usually my short hair takes around an hour and a half, but Vicki did the cut in little over an hour including hair wash and head massage and a blow-dry. The salon is modern, tidy and provided a great atmosphere and all of the staff I came across were really friendly. At $70, I thought the cut was a reasonable price and I was able to walk out of the salon pleased with the overall result. I am confident I will return there next time and would highly recommend Vicki.

The owner of Toogees is a lovely man called Gareth and is the creator of all the Toogees Hair Deisgn boutiques that have popped up around the north shore from the early seventies to present day. I like that the senior staff at Toogees seem to stay in the business for the long term, which is quite reassuring. The atmosphere at Toogees is that of a very relaxed and chilled salon, and they usually play music anywhere from the 70's to the music of today. I would say that the cost is quite average, and about the going rate for hair, wash and cut would be around 45 dollars. If you're after some products then ask the friendly staff as they are more than happy to help, with a good range of products available.

I usually get my hair…read moredone at Sharing Shed in Eastridge and although it's great, I no longer live in the area, so Gio Hair & Nail seemed more convenient. Owner Gio has been running this business for the past 7-8 years - quite surprised by this because I wish I had noticed it sooner! When I arrived, Gio was super friendly as was her assistant. As said previously, it is only $30 for a women's style cut ($25 for men and $15 for under 7's), which is a great price! However, it doesn't include a hair wash/hair massage - this is an extra $5, but even then, $35 for a haircut is still pretty good! Even though there were a few language barriers throughout the time I was there, we both just ended up laughing! As also said, it would be good idea to bring a picture of the exact style cut you want, however I was just getting a trim and showed Gio using my hands how much hair I wanted chopped off. Gio did a great job, was attentive and very efficient - highly recommend! As well as haircuts, they also do manicures, pedicures, acrylic, nail art and the like. Definitely planning to go back to get a pedicure done! Another benefit of Gio Hair & Nail is that it is situated right next to the Newmarket Train Station, which means it is easy to get to if you're taking the train from the CBD after work, and it's also near all the shops, cafes and restaurants on Broadway, which would make it the perfect weekend activity, after a spot of shopping of course!
