Absolute Hair First Visit

New to Absolute Hair and not sure what to book?

Starting with a new salon can feel like a big decision. You may already know what you want, or you may have questions about what will suit your hair, work with your everyday routine and be realistic to maintain.

Start with what you would like to keep, refresh or change. These first-visit options make it easier to choose the right starting point, while giving us time to understand your hair and guide what comes next

.

CHOOSE THE STARTING POINT THAT SOUNDS MOST LIKE YOU

You do not need to diagnose your own hair or work out every detail before you book. Choose the closest option, and we will check the important details with you before your appointment.

For colour, use your hair length as a starting guide. If your hair is very full, or needs more colour, toner or placement time, another price option may suit it better. We will let you know before your appointment rather than surprise you on the day.

MAINTAIN YOUR SHAPE

Do you still like your haircut, but feel it has lost its shape or is no longer sitting well?

Choose Maintain Your Shape when you want to keep your overall length and style, while tidying what is not working and bringing condition and polish back to your hair.

We will take time to understand what is and is not working, then personalise the cut, treatment and finish for you.

Includes a personal consultation, maintenance cut, a treatment chosen for your hair, and a blowout and style.

$143 — a $15 first-visit saving.

CHANGE YOUR STYLE

Ready for a change, but not sure what would suit you?

Choose Change Your Style when you are ready to go shorter, create a new shape, add movement or make your hair easier to manage.

We have allowed extra time to listen to what you want and talk through what will suit your hair, features and everyday life before creating the new shape.

Includes a personal consultation, the extra cutting time needed for a restyle, a treatment chosen for your hair, and a blowout and style.

$167 — a $17 first-visit saving

GLOBAL COLOUR REFRESH

Does your colour feel faded, flat or grown out, even though you still like its overall direction?

Choose Global Colour Refresh for all-over colour or regrowth, whether you want coverage, renewed richness, more depth or shine.

Includes your selected Global Colour option, a treatment chosen for your hair, and a blow-dry and finished style.

Short $259 / Medium $285 / Long $329 / Extra length or fullness $385

PARTIAL HIGHLIGHT REFRESH

Would you like carefully placed brightness and dimension without a full colour transformation?

Choose Partial Highlight Refresh when the colour around your face and through the most visible areas needs refreshing.

Includes your selected Partial Highlight option, the required gloss and tone, a treatment chosen for your hair, and a blow-dry and finished style.

Use your hair length as a starting guide. Very full hair, or hair that needs more placement, toner, product or time, may need another price option. Choose the closest option online and we will confirm the details before your appointment.

Planning a major lightening change, colour correction or grey transition? Choose Plan Your Colour Change instead.

Short $359 / Medium $399 / Long $459

Thinking about a bigger colour change, colour correction or grey transition, but not sure what is possible, what it may cost or where to begin?

Start with our Detailed Colour Planning Consultation. It gives you dedicated time with our stylists to look at where your hair is now, talk through what you would love, and understand the realistic options, likely stages, maintenance and investment before committing to the colour appointment.

The consultation is $55, paid when you book.

As a new client, your first recommended colour service will include the appropriate treatment.

Absolute Hair Salon Waikanae New Zealand

What our customers say about us

“I have so much confidence in my Kirsten and Daynas expertise that no matter how good a product – your hair is only as good as your hairdresser.

I could have walked out of that salon looking like a bleached blonde frizz but instead, because of Absolute Hair’s time, energy and expertise – and because they really do CARE about me and not just about making a buck, I walked out of there looking and feeling like a million dollars.“

“I love my new colour and have had so many compliments on it. Thank goodness the orange is gone! One less thing to worry about when the baby comes :-)”

Will definitely be back!

“Best hair salon I’ve been to. Dayna does an excellent job with my colour and style, and I always feel very welcome.”

“I get really excited when my appointment is due as I know I’m going to get the treatment I deserve and I always leave the salon feeling thrilled with my look. The girls are very professional and give lots of helpful tips for me when I choose a new style or colour”
