A small hair salon on Annagary Rise in Dannemora, East Auckland, The Bow Hair髮 holds a 4.6 rating from 27 Google reviews, with perm, colouring and styling work the services mentioned most often and stylist Sharon repeatedly praised for listening closely, running on time and getting colour and cuts right; its Instagram page is the best place to find it. Across good salons, the strongest results usually come from sticking with one stylist who knows your hair's history. Colour especially builds on whatever is already on the strand — box dye, old perms, previous bleach — so continuity counts for more than a stylish fit-out. Regulars bring reference photos and are honest about past treatments, and a good stylist will steer you away from a cut or colour that won't suit your hair type or morning routine. For Dannemora locals after layered cuts, curtain bangs or colour from a stylist their neighbours clearly trust, it sits right on the doorstep.
