From the moment you step into the light-filled Newmarket space, the emphasis is placed on clarity and technical precision.

The Following Hair Co. is widely recognized for its specialized colour artistry and hair extensions. As the New Zealand Flagship Salon and National Educators for Great Lengths Keratin Bond Extensions, the salon not only performs seamless transformations for its clients but also trains other stylists across the country in extension application and aftercare standards. Utilizing ethically sourced, 100% human hair, these keratin bonds offer natural movement, meticulous colour blending, and long-lasting durability without compromising natural hair.
In colour work, the salon specializes in dimensional blondes, glossing treatments, and corrective transformations. Each formulation is calculated to enhance natural undertones while maintaining structural hair integrity, yielding that polished, refined finish that defines modern luxury hair.
A hallmark of The Following Hair Co. is its structured, consultation-first ethos. Clients embarking on significant colour shifts, smoothing treatments, or extension installations are guided through a clear process where realistic expectations, timelines, and maintenance steps are established prior to starting work.
Recognizing that salon results depend heavily on proper home maintenance, the team also created EVRYDAY, a dedicated haircare edit designed to protect extension bonds, preserve tone, and nourish the hair shaft between appointments. Whether arriving for a subtle refresh or a complete reinvention, guests experience high-level craft delivered with genuine warmth.
