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 much does a colour cost in New Zealand?
It moves with hair length and what is already on the hair. A root touch-up and a full colour correction are hours apart in work. Salons will usually give a range and confirm it at a consultation.
Do I need a consultation before colouring?
For a significant change, most salons want one, and many require a strand test if your hair has been coloured before. Mention your hair history in the request and they can tell you up front.
Can I book for a wedding or event?
Yes, and earlier is better since occasion work books out well ahead. Say the date in your request so only salons free that day are asked.
How far ahead should I book?
A cut is often a few days. Colour, and anything on a Saturday, is usually a couple of weeks. Give a few dates that work and you will get more options back.
