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 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.
