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!

My friend had somehow scored a "2 for $70" blowdry deal that included a glass of bubbles and a chocolate for us to nibble on while we got our hair done. I really enjoyed the experience at Dry & Tea. The staff were lovely and took a few minutes to work out how I wanted my hair done, showing me some pictures and talking about what I normally do with my hair to make sure they approached the task in the best possible way. The hair wash was good, though if I'd had time I would have added on the extra head massage option for $15. Who doesn't love a head massage! My blow dry was excellent. There was plenty of body at the top and curl at the end, and I managed to keep it looking good for five days by putting it in a top knot to sleep. Even if I'd paid the full $45, this was would have been money well spent. To not have to worry about my hair while away on business was worth every cent.

I came in based on the looks and the interior of the salon. I had a few cm of my ends cut because it was damaged from bleaching, dry and very tangly, and just wanted to fix the ends where there were a few knots. I got a moisturising shampoo, a wed and dry cut with a touch of hair serum on the tips. My hair is now smooth and silky like there were never damaged. Michelle was chatty and friendly, she did exactly what I said and wanted. The result, satisfying. The price was 85, which was more than I expected. But defiantly worth it and I'll pick this place again for the next time I'll need a trim.

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.

"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.
