Hairdressers

I need a haircut. I've been putting it off for ages because I didn't want to spend the money, but ye olde ginger mop is starting to look a bit (ok, a lot) bird-nesty.

The thing is that I am terrified of hairdressers because 99% of the time, they make a terrible mess of my hair. I found the best hairdresser in the history of the world at Toni & Guy, but the selfish tart went on maternity leave 6 months ago and never came back! The others still cut hair well there, but not well enough for me to happily hand over $100 just for a cut. You know? Plus, they're in Newmarket, so it's a bit of a hike too and you have to add parking costs in as well.

Sooo - does anyone know a good hairdresser? I'm based in Manurewa, so Botany, Onehunga, elsewhere South ...

HELP!

$100! OMG! Fancy a trip to Whakatane?! Lol! Good hair dressers here! and only $40!

Im needing a haircut too. Lucky for me tho there is a great Hairdresses in Porirua that I go to for a dry cut and straighten $25...... Ginger I hope you find somewhere up there and it not too expensive and great stylists!

My mums a hairdresser - works from home! But she generally only does shampoos and sets for little old ladies Oh and the odd purple rinse! So unless that is what you are after, probably wouldn't recommend her

Yes please gandt!! Definitely!! Thank you!

It's $30 Emma and it's brilliant. It tames my curls PM me your address - I have a nearly empty one which has a good few squirts left in it. You can try it before you buy it It's a Wella product called 'Hyper-curl'. You also don't need a whole squirt - I only partly depress the squirter and use about half as much in my hair, and it lasts months with me using it every day in my mop.

I go to Mod'd Hair in Ponsonby and love it! They really listen to what you want and came up with a great hairstyle for me to cater for having a 5 month old in the house - I can wear my hair both down and up with minimal effort. They are not cheap though, but then is $100 really too much for Auckland??

ETA - if you are keen, PM me as I have a voucher for 15% off your first visit that I can send you for free

Every time I get mine cut they insist I will have time to straighten my hair! I Don't!! How do you get around that?

I go to Servilles in Takapuna. It costs me a wee bit, but I go for more than just the haircut...it's the almost two hours out of the house without the kids or husband, the nice leather chairs in the well lit, spacious, relatively quiet salon where a grown up, not just out of hairdressing college (and falling out of her top) talks to me about things going on in the world while I sip on a really, really well made mocha and watch all of the other escapees having their hair done. I get it done two or three times a year and tried to get it cut somewhere else and didn't get the same happy buzz. I'm honestly happy for WEEKS afterwards.....just ask Jax.....

Maree - let's not forget the head massage... !! But you are 110% right, it is worth going there for so much more than "just" a haircut, they make THE best mocha I have ever tasted. Ever !

And I only get it done about 2-3 times a year myself.
