Mika Styles is a hair salon on Level 2 of the Metropolis Hotel at 42 High Street in Auckland's CBD, with a five-star 5.0 rating across 133 Google reviews. The salon keeps a website at mikastyles.co.nz.
A good salon visit starts before any scissors come out: the stylist should ask about your hair history and how much upkeep you will realistically manage. Colour especially rewards a stylist who knows your hair, which is why regulars tend to stick with one person rather than the salon as a whole. Photos help, but a good stylist adapts them to your hair rather than copying the picture. City slots around lunchtime and after work fill fast, so booking ahead pays.
Up on Level 2 of the Metropolis, this is a well-reviewed salon within easy reach of anyone working or staying in the central city.
