Can anyone recommend a hairdresser in central Auckland/Parnell/Newmarket?

I'm starting to look a bit too hippy like so need to bite the bullet.

Servilles are a good salon - they have branches in both the CBD (in Chancery) and Newmarket. I used to go to them, but my hairdresser moved salon and I went with her. She's Frances at Durham Hair in the city if you want a recommendation - I have been getting my hair done by her for the last 5 years now.
My friend recommends Stephen Marr in Newmarket, who has a good reputation, and you can have a manicure or pedicure at the same time there.

They're pretty standard for Auckland prices though - I'm sure that I pay similar at my salon. I'm terrible in that I just get my eftpos card swiped and never look at the total...

(Who do you use MM?)

Thanks for the recommendations girls.

Prices are about the same as the UK. My hairdresser charged about half what I make a day as a consultant (although I'm new at it, and start next week). I used to get a huge student discount but then got used to him and ended up using him for 6 years. I'm so nervous about the change. :(

I'll have to stay scruffy til after OH gets paid on Friday though!

So any recommendations for any hairdressers on the North Shore? I'm prepared to spend a bit to get somebody who really, really knows what they are doing in terms of cutting.

Thanks in advance,
Anneliese

Apologies, just had another look and I obviously can't count. Yes, this has just confirmed I pay far too much to get my hair done :o

Funnily enough, I'm going for a cut and colour tomorrow. Going back to brunette as I can't afford the upkeep of blonde hair!

hmm are there any cheap and cheerful hairdressers in Auckland/North Shore?

my hair style takes 5 minutes to cut and I'm not fussed about having the same stylist of a friendly chat or a cup of coffee, I just want them to chop the extra bit off and let me get on with the rest of my day :D (and I'm a terrible cheapskate, but that's not the point!)

I had mine cut yesterday on the Devonport Ferry Wharf - cost a grand total of $15 (for a men's cut - $20 for a ladies').

It does make me wonder why I used to spend 40 pounds on a cut in the UK!
