Rettro Hair and Beauty is a beauty salon on Boakes Rd in Mount Wellington, Auckland, holding a 5.0 rating from 49 Google reviews. In hair and beauty, the relationship matters as much as the result: regulars stick with a salon because the stylist remembers how their colour takes, how their hair behaves, and what "just a tidy-up" really means. Neighbourhood salons tend to run on word of mouth, so booking ahead — weekends especially — is a habit worth forming. Anyone coming in for colour should expect a patch test and a few questions about previous treatments before anything is mixed; that caution is a good sign, not a delay. Facebook pages are often the quickest way to see a salon's recent work and keep across its opening hours. For Mount Wellington locals, having a well-reviewed salon just up Boakes Rd means the next cut or treatment needn't mean crossing town.
