A private hair studio at 84D Hurstmere Road in Takapuna, run by Ai Takahashi, a Japanese-born hairdresser with more than 19 years' experience. She trained in Tokyo's Shibuya and Harajuku, then worked in Canada and Australia before moving to New Zealand, with three years in Wellington. The work is by appointment only, in one-on-one sessions. The services listed are precision cuts, colour such as foils and balayage, styling and texture, and consultations, with URUTOWA products from Japan used for restorative treatments. The website also lists cuts for children aged two to nine and for ages 10 to 16. Prices are given per service on the booking site, and the website says the colour prices include a blow wave.
