Jigna's Hair & Beauty Service is a beauty salon at Shop 3C/691 Manukau Road in the Royal Oak Mall, Auckland, with a 4.5 rating on Google and a Facebook page as its main online presence. A good suburban salon lives or dies by its regulars: the same pair of hands cutting and colouring your hair each visit learns how it falls, how it takes colour and how much upkeep you can manage between appointments. If you are trying someone new, judge the chat before any scissors come out — whether they ask what your hair actually does and how much time you will give it each morning. Mall salons fill fast on Saturdays and before weddings and school balls, so booking ahead is worth it. Tucked into the mall's Manukau Road shops, Jigna's is a handy stop for Royal Oak locals between errands.
