This review is with respect to the waxing. A friend of mine told me about this place, said she had been and it was the bet wax she had ever had, so I went the following week. She was right, I still come here. What is different is the wax they use. It is not strip wax. The hot wax is applied to your skin, it cools and becomes like a thick film on your skin at which point the beauty therapist peels it off like a plaster, no pain. It is formulated to only take out the hair, it only adheres to the hair, not your skin. That is why you should go, painless waxing, it is possible. Great professional staff too, clean facilities and private rooms. I recommend it highly.

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 always leave happy -which isn't always the case with other places. Great selection of magazines to read while you have a wine and a chat.

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.

I also told her that i wasn't a big fan of blow dry and guess what she said to me after the hair cut?: "Ok i know you don't like it but i'm gonna blow dry your hair, it's gonna looks like much better!" What don't you understand when i said "i don't like blow drying my hair!!"?? Why did you made me a hair cut who looks better with it?! I though that for this price, i was in the right to expect a real professional advice who'll be able to see what looks better on me! Waist of money and lots of tears....

The staff are involved in all the top fashion shows, photo shoots and are very highly regarded. You always know you're going to get what you've asked for and that you're getting the lastest advice, techniques and colours. You can always judge a place by their staff and you can tell Stephen Marr is awesome because their staff are awesome. They always look really fashionable, are friendly, and willing to go above and beyond for their customers. I recently went to the Takapuna Salon to get my hair done for a wedding but had booked in at the Newmarket one. Oops. Luckily they rearranged their day to fit me in and I am so grateful as if they hadn't I would've had to of tamed my crazy hair myself! That would not have been fun at all. The salon is also an amazing place with plant walls and cool industrial furniture. They also gave me an awesome coffee to enjoy while being pampered which won me over even more.

Not only are they talented and crazy-cool but they all seem to love their jobs and genuinely care about their clients. Last week I booked in to see Donni at Stephen Marr, having not been to the hairdressers in over 10months. To say my hair had turned into an unruly mane would be an understatement (think 12 year old Hermione Granger). With the only instruction being "pleeeeease fix it", Donni and her colourist Dani set to work and within a few hours I was walking out of there with freshly cut ends and creamy blond highlights. Whole. New. Alex. It must also be mentioned that Stephen Marr/The Department Store has one of the best playlists ever. Any iPod that jumps from 'Stuck in the Middle with You' by Stealers Wheel to 'Ms Jackson' by Outkast is A-OK with me.

ID Hair seem to be not only adept at haircuts for gents and ladies but rather accommodating every time I've walked in (and always without an appointment).

"Just give me a nice hair cut, don't make me look like a porcupine and throw in a shampooing to make me smile". ID Hair ticks all these boxes, politely store your jacket in a locker, even throw in a post-haircut rinse and scalp massage if you're lucky.
