Rodney Wayne Eastridge is a full-service hair salon inside Eastridge Shopping Centre at 215 Kepa Road in Orakei, serving Mission Bay and Auckland's eastern bays. The menu covers cuts and finishing for women and men, global permanent and tone-on-tone colour, partial and half-head highlights, toner, blow waves and dedicated in-salon treatments — with every service beginning with a consultation and including a luxury shampoo, condition and scalp massage.
Prices shown online are starting points only; the salon confirms an exact price and time with you in consultation before any work begins. Standout add-ons include the 15-minute Kerastase Fusio Dose Ritual, promising instant transformation and lasting results, and the quick Metal Detox service.
The salon keeps long hours: 9:00 am to 6:30 pm on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday, late nights until 8:00 pm on Wednesday and Friday, and Sunday trading from 9:00 am to 4:30 pm. Appointments can be made through the salon's online booking portal, by phone on 09 521 3377, or by email at eastridge@rodneywayne.co.nz.
Rodney Wayne Eastridge sits inside Eastridge Shopping Centre at 215 Kepa Road, the shopping hub that serves Auckland's eastern bays. It is the local Rodney Wayne salon for Mission Bay, Orakei and the streets around them — a full-service hair salon where cuts, colour, treatments and styling all happen under one roof, with hours long enough to fit around a working week.
The service list is straightforward and covers what most people need from a salon. Women can book the Shampoo, Shape & Finish, which pairs a haircut with a blow-wave finish; men have their own version, a shaped cut and finish. Every service — cut, colour or treatment — begins with a consultation and includes a luxury shampoo, condition and a scalp massage. It is a small ritual, but it is consistent across the menu, and it is part of what makes an appointment here feel like a proper salon visit rather than a quick in-and-out.
Colour is the deeper end of the menu. There is global permanent colour for a full transformation, and global tone-on-tone colour for a softer, more natural result. Foil work comes in two levels: partial highlights and half-head highlights, each bookable with add-ons such as toner, a blow wave or a shampoo, shape and finish to complete the look. Toner is on the menu too, though the salon notes it should be booked alongside a lightening service rather than on its own.
One thing worth knowing before you book: prices shown online are starting points. Because hair differs so much from person to person, the salon confirms an exact price and time during your in-salon consultation. You will know where you stand before any work begins.
Between the cuts and the colour sit the salon's dedicated treatments. The Kerastase Fusio Dose Ritual is a 15-minute service promising instant transformation and lasting results; it comes after a luxury shampoo and scalp massage, and it is the salon's recommended add-on for anyone booking a cut or a colour. Metal Detox is the other quick treatment — 15 minutes dedicated to a detox service for the hair.
Then there is the blow wave, the classic salon pick-me-up. Running 30 to 60 minutes, it includes a consultation, luxury shampoo, condition and scalp massage, and finishes with a styled blow wave. It works as a service in its own right or as the finishing touch to a cut or colour.
Appointments can be made through the salon's online booking portal. You log in or sign up, pick your services — the menu is grouped into popular and all services — then choose your staff and time. If you would rather talk to a person, the salon is reachable on 09 521 3377 or by email at eastridge@rodneywayne.co.nz.
The hours are generous. Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday run from 9:00 am to 6:30 pm. Wednesday and Friday are the late nights, open until 8:00 pm, which makes after-work appointments realistic. And unlike many salons, this one trades on Sundays, from 9:00 am to 4:30 pm — handy for anyone whose week simply does not allow a weekday visit.
Because the menu runs from men's cuts to half-head foils and full-head colour, it works as a one-stop salon for couples and families, with everyone bookable through the same online portal.
Being inside Eastridge Shopping Centre gives the visit a practical shape. A haircut, groceries and errands can be bundled into one trip, with the café-lined streets of Mission Bay only minutes away if you want to make an afternoon of it.
Whether you are due for a regular cut, thinking about a colour change, or just want the treatment-and-blow-wave combo before a big weekend, the format is the same: sit down, talk it through in the consultation, and have the confirmed price and plan settled before the scissors come out.
