I used to go to the Pakuranga branch for years but my executive stylist had moved on - so I relocated to the Botany branch. My most recent stylist is Anna, she is an absolute doll and I love her expertise and the way she just knows what to do with my hair! Almost all the time, I just arrive with my long hair and she'd ask me "So what are we doing today"? and I would respond with a "You tell me", and she would just work her magic. I love that I have this kind of relationship with my stylist and I am always 100% happy with the outcome. You would have probably seen photos of my hair and I always do get compliments regarding my hair - well its because of Anna and Schnips guys! My most recent visit was before I left for my overseas experience USA bound back in March and I had always been wanting to try ombre'. It took about 2 hours to complete. Anna and the assistant stylist that helped took the time and their full attention to make sure that both colours blended together nicely! I was so stoked when my hair was dried and Anna even went through the trouble of tinting my eyebrows to make sure it matched with my new do! She is amazing. Looking at how long my hair is now I had to actually get rid of the ombre` as it ended up looking like really bad regrowth and I can not be sporting something like that... ha. In regards to service, Schnips has always treated me well! Both of the locations I had been to have been absolutely amazing and I love that they offer you beverage the moment you arrive. They also keep a file or record from all your previous visits so they know what was last done when there. The head massage is also amazing and they take the time to shampoo your hair twice, condition and even do a treatment. I usually spend about $250 or ever more when I visit but let me tell you it is absolutely worth it. I don't even blink when I hand over my card because of the results. Just stunning. I love it and I can't wait to come back to get my hair pampered!

I was attended by an unexperienced girl who let the color sit on the root for too long, which ended up causing a orange carrot shade and after realising the horrible disaster they saturated my hair in peroxide to try to light up the point. I left very disappointed and I ended up paying about 245$ NZD for a redish/black/orange color that wasn't even the one I expected.

Kellie was the first stylist I visited when I moved to the Mount and I never saw anyone else. She understood my hair and my style straight off. She even styled me for my wedding day and did a remarkable job. I moved away from the area last year and have been to at least 5 stylists now. No one has the same magic that Kellie has! She's an artist! A true master at her craft. If I could afford to fly to Tauranga every 6 weeks to see Kellie, I would! And not just for what she does, but to also just enjoy what a lovely person she is.

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!

This is the salon formerly known as Hairphoria (which I came to for about a year before the owner…read moresold it to the Vivo chain of salons). There's been a bit of turnover in the stylists, but I've now had 3 appointments with Paula, and she is great. She has the right balance of talk (not too much to be annoying, but enough that it seems she genuinely wants to know you and know about you as her customer). Paula took over where my former stylist left off, providing me with 2-colored highlights every 8-10 weeks. She takes care in the application and cut and style afterward; my appointments usually last about 2 - 2.5 hours. The decor is modern salon style decor - I can't really say that it's anything special but it's clean and nice and I feel relaxed in there. I like the nice little touch of being offered water, juice or wine with my highlights! They have a variety of upscale-type hair products and tools. I find that I'm quite happy every time and feel that the price I pay is about right for the quality I receive (about $160 for 2-color highlights, shampoo, cut, style and blow-dry). They are conveniently located in the CBD, and have recently procured 2 free parking spots in the lot adjacent to the salon, making parking a breeze (and free for the entire length of your appointment).
