Forbidden Hair & Extensions is a hair salon at 310a Waterloo Rd in Hei Hei, Christchurch, holding a 4.7-star Google rating, with its online presence an Instagram page rather than a website.
Extensions are a specialist corner of hairdressing, and the consultation is where a good salon earns its keep: density, length and condition should be assessed before anyone recommends tape-ins, wefts or bonds, since the wrong weight on fine hair invites breakage. Colour is matched to the mid-lengths and ends, often blended across a couple of shades for a natural result. Regulars know the fitting is only the beginning — refits every six to eight weeks and careful day-to-day care make up most of the real commitment.
For Hei Hei locals after length, volume or a change, this well-rated Waterloo Rd salon is on their doorstep, and its Instagram page is the easiest way to get a feel for the place first.
