How far will an Auckland business actually travel?
Most work a patch rather than the region. Plenty of North Shore businesses will not cross the bridge for a two-hour job, and nobody in Pukekohe is driving to Warkworth for one. NovaPay asks businesses near you first, and any travel or call-out fee is stated in the quote rather than found on the invoice.
Can I get someone the same week in Auckland?
Usually, for the smaller jobs. How urgent it is goes out with the request, so a business with nothing free that week can say so instead of leaving you waiting on a callback.
How long do lash extensions last?
A full set usually lasts two to three weeks before a refill, and refills cost less than a new set. Ask about both when you get a price so you know the real ongoing cost.
Do I need a patch test?
For tinting, lash work and some treatments, yes, and reputable salons insist on it a day or two before. Mention it in your request so the appointment they offer allows for it.
Can I book for a wedding or event?
Yes, and occasion work books out well ahead. Say the date in your request and only salons free that day are asked.
What is the difference between gel and acrylic nails?
Gel is thinner and more natural looking, acrylic is harder wearing and better for extending length. Salons price them differently, so say which you want or ask them to advise.
