Häxan Hair Studio is a hair salon at 1/402 Titirangi Rd in Titirangi, Waitakere City, at the western edge of Auckland, holding a 4.9 Google rating and a Facebook page in place of a standalone website.
A salon earns its keep on repeat visits: a stylist who remembers how your colour took last time, or that your fringe drops within a week, saves months of trial and error. In a village like Titirangi, word travels fast, and it is the consistent result that brings people back to the same chair. Be upfront at a first appointment — bring a photo, say what your hair goes through at home, and admit how much styling you'll realistically keep up. A good stylist will happily talk you out of a bad idea before the scissors come out.
For locals, Häxan sits on Titirangi Road at the doorstep of the Waitakere Ranges — the kind of salon that becomes a habit.
