Misola takes its name from two Japanese words, mi for beauty and sola for sky, and the salon at 114 The Runway in Wigram is built around that idea. The website says it is guided by Japanese practices, uses imported basins, and has a calm, zen-like room. Its stylists are described as award-winning, and the salon uses premium products that it says keep colour longer and hair straighter. Every visit starts with a complimentary consultation, so the stylist knows what you want before any cutting or colouring. Some services can be booked online; for others, the salon asks you to call on 03 348 6280 or 021 0226 5060. The three reviews on the page are all praise. One reviewer loved the head spa, and another says a stylist turned a bad cut and colour from a different salon into a soft-coloured pixie cut. Within a kilometre, Misola is one of two hair salons, the other being Future Angels Salon, which is closer.
