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!

My partner has actually been telling me about this Barber shop for years, he thinks its the best…read moreone in Auckland and even though I still don't get how complicated a guy's haircut can really be I have to say that after accompanying him one day (en route to somewhere else and purely out of curiosity) I might have to agree. Alan's Barber Shop is just off the main drag in Onehunga and is adorned with the stereotypical red white and blue stripes so it really feels like a barber's shop. The large glass window that doubles as a front door gives a plain view into the shop where you will find the owner Sahir and his apprentice working away at a queue of customers waiting patiently for a clip. Without fail I'm told you will be greeted with a friendly "Hey man, howsit?" from Sahir as you walk through the door before sitting down on the couch and relaxing to the 1960 /1970's music that is playing. When you finally get your turn (apparently the only downside is the typical 15/20min wait as they have so many customers) you start to understand why they always have a bit of a queue - the barbers really take their time cutting a customers hair and make sure they understand what they are looking for. They really seem to do all the little things well. My partner always goes on about what a perfectionist Sahir is, how tidy his cuts are and how you would be hard-pressed to find a better job for the very reasonable $20 charge. And now I finally understand why it takes him so long to get his hair cut!
