What if nobody in Gisborne does this?
Then the honest answer is that it comes from out of the region, and the quote should say so with the travel in it. NovaPay asks locally first and widens rather than pretending the choice is bigger than it is.
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.
