Victoria Street Secret! Awesome lingerie and swimsuits,…read morepeople. Don't be deceived by the very discreet entryway foyer, behind the wall is some of the finest and sexiest knickers you'll find. I had never heard of this brand in the states, and was delighted to experience the boutique first hand. It's a beautiful space and the sales staff couldn't be warmer. Top notch undies and swimsuits for ladies who like a bit of glam under it all.

One of NZ's most popular and iconic prides, The Warehouse prides itself on being 100% Kiwi owned…read more It's also one of the few places in NZ that gives you a money-back guarantee. As for its products - well, take your chances! It's a parallel import heaven! They buy their stuff in bulk at discounted prices - and you never really know what you're going to find. One day you might come across an exercycle, the next some fishing tackle or cleaning detergent. It's truly random - and a lot of it isn't the best quality known to humanity - but at least you can get a refund if it breaks in the alloted timeframe! They also produce their own brand of clothing and sell loads of mainstream CDs and DVDs, games and toys at cheap prices. Their motto is where everyone gets a bargain - and even if you don't come out the door with what you bargained for, you can guarantee that you'll find something - even if it's random junk you never needed in the first place! Occasionally you really will pick up a useful bargain though.

In town for a wedding and seeing old friends that I hadn't seen in 10 years, I decided to treat…read moremyself to a blow out or as they say here, a "blow wave." I researched salons and while there are no shortage, this one is the best. Buoy recently won 5 out of 10 National salon awards, including best stylist and best salon. I signed up online to make a booking and thought their website was easy to navigate and well thought out. (Turns out, they won an award for that too.) Prices were clearly listed for every service and vary based on the level of experience of the professional carrying out the service. Bev styled my hair for the wedding, trimmed my fringe and did a fantastic job. She came highly recommended and is a consummate professional. Everyone from the receptionist to Bev's assistant was lovely. If you are in windy Wellington and need a blow wave, a hair cut or style, this salon is as good as any salon in Los Angeles or NYC. P.S. I thought my idea to get a blow out might be silly because it is indeed so windy here, but it was a brilliant idea. My hair may have been tossed around during the ceremony but once i did a quick touch up, it all fell back into place perfectly, thanks to a professional blow out.

Was in town for only one day and desperately needed a blow dry. Yelp is not very active in town but…read moreI was still able to find few listings. This place did not have any reviews but I called anyway. A very nice guy answered to all my questions and helped me find my way in. It was a bit hard to find but again I was completely new to town. The place was nicely designed and very clean. My hairdresser was very professional and did great job with my hair. If I had more time I would have tried more services. Not sure if I will ever be in Wellington again, but wanted to leave this review to spread the word around.
