Protege Hair Design is a hair salon on Great North Road in Glendene, West Auckland, holding a perfect 5.0 rating across 107 Google reviews, with customers returning again and again to the welcoming atmosphere. Colour correction is one of the trickiest jobs in hairdressing: lifting old box dye or stubborn brassiness takes a colourist who can diagnose what went wrong and map out the fix, often over more than one visit. Smoothing treatments such as keratin, nanoplasty and hair botox have become popular for keeping hair sleek through Auckland's humidity, and a good stylist will check your hair type and explain the aftercare before starting. Regulars tend to stay loyal to a stylist who explains each stage as they work, so nothing about the process is a mystery. For Glendene locals after that kind of careful, well-explained work, this highly rated salon sits right on Great North Road.
