I've been going to Collective for more than a year. After moving to Queenstown from Las Vegas, I…read morewas looking for a good place to continue my usual hair routine, which at the time consisted of regular highlights and trim to my then long strawberry blonde hair. A friend at work recommended Collective, and I've been going ever since. The expert hair stylists there took my hair from light strawberry blonde to a brilliant and bright vibrant red. I love it! People often complement me on it and ask where I get my hair done, and I can't recommend this place enough. I've had almost all the stylists there work on my hair, and they are all excellent. Aside from just the talent, the salon's casual but chic interior creates a relaxing environment to get pampered because let's face it, some of those more intense hair colour changes can take a while, and you want to be comfortable. Plus, they offer complimentary refreshments and a library of gossip and fashion mags to read, so there's plenty to keep you entertained while waiting for your colour to develop. My next big hair transition will be from my current dark red to blonde, and I can't wait to see the results. If you're in Queenstown and looking for a place to get your hair coloured, cut and even styled for a special occasion, this is the place to go.

The Holland salon is lovely, clean, upscale and intimate, and it's right on the wharf with…read morerestaurants and shopping closeby. My husband spotted it it and encouraged me to give it a try. We're world travelers so I often need my hair done while traveling. Rarely do I have a problem, whether it's color or cuts, but recently I've have had 2 very bad- horrendous- experiences; ended up with copper red hair, despite requesting chestnut brown !!! So you can image my trepidation when when a very young, pretty, Swedish woman presented herself as my stylist on the morning before flying to Wellington. But, after having others vouch for her skills, despite her youth, I acquiesce. I'm so happy I did, bc she listened patiently, cut carefully and clearly has a natural talent! My cut looked great when I left but the," proof is in the pudding", how does it look in the morning ? Even 3 days on, the cut is still beautiful and just what a, " wash and wear", travelin' woman like myself needs. I'm so grateful to have found Holland Salon and especially grateful to have found this super talented young stylist!

After some online research, I booked a facial and massage combo at Body Sanctum. I knew I would…read moreneed one after traveling for 3 weeks and it was such a relaxing experience. My massage therapist was Po (sp) and she was amazing. She was welcoming and had a positive vibe. I like a lot of pressure and she delivered. She asked where I needed focus, to which I said my shoulders. My left shoulder muscle is tense, like you can feel the that band of muscle is tough whereas there are tiny knots on my right shoulder muscle. She knew exactly what to do to and really worked them! My shoulders feel so much better! And my facial with manuka honey was fantastic, especially the head massage. Po asked if it'd be okay if there's oil in my hair, which was fine with me. Seriously say okay to this! The massage almost put me to sleep, but I wanted to stay awake to experience every moment. I assume she can do the same without oil, but it probably wouldn't have been the same intensity. In the lobby, there are comfortable seats to relax before and after. There's also water and ice tea. I recommend Po and Body Sanctum if you need to pamper yourself. Treat yo self!

Hello public…read more Myself and my fellow school chumps came to this wonderful facility of hair on the 2nd of January after the events of New Years had taken it's tole on one poor soul whom we were well acquainted with and his hair was left horribly disfigured from the forehead up. "Wilther's Place" was the only hair dressing shoppe that would take in our poor friend and fix him. The hair dresser there, who I can only presume was in fact named Wilther, took him in with open arms and scissors sharp. Wilther asked "what would you want done?" in a charming yet reassuring manor (my friend was so worried about his hair he in fact shat himself) and made us all feel very at easy while working through the stench of the shart in my friends trousers. Wilther created an absolute work of art fixing my friends half shaven head by giving him one of the #freshest fades I have ever seen in my life. Myself and my close friends were all very impressed and gave him a 69.....percent tip. Thank you Wilther! Yours faithfully and sincerely, Dijonasie Hamm
