Does a Wellington business cover the Hutt and Kapiti?
Many do, but the further ends of the region carry travel time and it shows in the quote. NovaPay asks businesses covering your end first — the Kapiti Coast in particular is served by its own trades rather than by the city.
Why do Wellington quotes ask about access and steps?
Because they are most of the labour. Carrying materials up sixty steps or working off a boundary with no parking is genuinely a different job to the same work on a flat Hamilton section, and a quote that ignores it is the one that gets revised on the day.
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.
