Hair by Hina is a hair salon at 18A Peter Mulgrew Street, New Windsor, Auckland, rated 5.0 from 170 Google reviews. Its website says owner Hina has worked in hairdressing for three decades, uses top-of-the-line brands and bespoke treatments, and runs a vegan and cruelty-free salon, with appointments booked online. Reviewers praise a welcoming, calming atmosphere, hair colour, nanoplasty and vegan products, and say Hina listens, educates and makes them feel at ease.
A good salon begins with listening, so explain what you want, what you have done to your hair and how you style it, and bring photos. A hairdresser with long experience can suggest options that suit your hair type and lifestyle, and will tell you honestly what is realistic, particularly for colour and smoothing treatments such as nanoplasty, which need aftercare and the right products. If you prefer vegan or cruelty-free products, ask what is used for each service. Book ahead for colour and long services, and ask how often to return to keep a cut or colour looking fresh.
For New Windsor and Mount Albert locals, it is a highly rated, friendly salon with a vegan, cruelty-free approach.
