A full range of services

The Mangere salon covers the full spread of hair services, from precision women's and men's cuts through to expert blow-dries and finishes for special occasions. On the colour side, the team offers full colour, balayage, foils and ombré, all crafted to work with a client's natural tone rather than fight against it.

Eyebrow services span threading, tinting, shaping and semi-permanent microblading, and the beauty side extends further into customised facials, eyelash tinting, relaxing massage and piercings.

A consistent theme across the salon's offering is experience — every stylist at Kess Express Hair & Beauty Mangere is described as senior, trained and trusted by a loyal base of returning clients.
