Kerri cut my hair and saved it from the massive amount of damage it accrued while at a hot spring earlier in the week. She patiently combed through every one of my countless tangles and gave me an awesome deep conditioning treatment. The hair cut is fantastic as well as an added bonus. She was delightful to chat with as was Daniel who booked the appt for me. Thanks guys!!

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.

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.

Angie was so skilled and kind, and I left the salon feeling absolutely beautiful. Of course, the unpredictable Wellington weather added a little "unrequested texture," but even so, the style lasted for several days -- a true testament to her technique and the products she used. I couldn't recommend Sable Fine Hair more for anyone wanting a polished, confidence-boosting look in the city. On a side note, I was a tourist and was treated as if I were a usual client.
