Rodney Wayne St Lukes is a hair salon in the St Lukes shopping area at Mount Albert, Auckland, at Shop 210 in the Westfield St Lukes centre. It offers a free, no-obligation consultation, then styling, colour, balayage, ombre, blow-dries, straightening and curling with ghd tools, and nourishing hair treatments. The salon uses Kérastase and L'Oréal Professionnel products, and purchases earn Rodney Wayne Rewards that can be spent at the salon or at Shampoo 'n' Things.
Guests' views are mixed. Several praise a stylist for a careful, unhurried fix to a bad cut from another salon, and one praised a head massage and the coffee and chocolate offered at the salon. Others were fitted in without an appointment after a poor cut elsewhere. One customer was disappointed that a haircut did not match the reference photo they had shown, and said they would not return. The website says the team will advise on which products suit the hair, and the salon calls itself the most awarded hairdresser brand in St Lukes. Our view is that it is worth a consultation first if you have a specific look in mind.
