Aimee Jade Hair Artistry is a boutique hair salon located inside the Radiance Day Spa at 7A Murray Terrace, Cromwell — a space its owner describes as a sanctuary of style and serenity. At the helm is Aimee, a Cromwell local with more than 16 years in the hair industry and an international certification as a Redken Colourist, with colouring a particular speciality. Her promise is simple: a mix of luxury, expertise and quiet down time, where the client comes first.
The service list spans personalised colour (highlights or full-colour changes), precise tailored cuts, professional styling, occasion and wedding hair, and premium Bellami Extensions. Treatments range from the indulgent ABC Deluxe — Redken moisture+ protein complex with a head massage, hot towel and Pure Fiji hand-and-arm massage — to targeted ABC Moisture and ABC Protein therapies. Men are well catered for too, with classic cuts, clipper trims and quick tidy-ups, and a free 15-minute consultation is on offer for anyone wanting to talk options first.
Sustainability sits at the heart of the salon: as Cromwell's only Sustainable Salon and a proud partner of Sustainable Salons, 95% of salon waste is recycled, repurposed or donated, with cut hair going to wigmakers and organisations including Variety and the Australia Alopecia Areata Foundation. Work is done with Redken Professional Haircare and Bellami Extensions, appointments can be booked online, and gift vouchers and Afterpay are available.
Tucked inside the Radiance Day Spa on Murray Terrace, Aimee Jade Hair Artistry is one of Central Otago's newer hair destinations — and, in its owner's words, something of a sanctuary. "My Cromwell salon is more than just a place to get your hair done," says Aimee. "I want your experience to be a mix of luxury, expertise, and the quiet down time you deserve." That philosophy — a space where you come first, even if only for an hour — shapes everything from the way appointments run to the little extras clients mention again and again in their reviews.
Aimee is a Cromwell local with more than 16 years in the hair industry, and colour is her speciality. She holds an international certification as a Redken Colourist, a credential that reflects real dedication to the craft, and she keeps her skills current through continuous education and advanced training. Her career, by her own account, has spanned continents and styles — experience she now brings to one of Central Otago's most sought-after salons.
Clients notice the approach as much as the technical skill. Reviewers describe a stylist who asks all the right questions, listens carefully and works with genuine care — one writes that Aimee gave her the confidence to trust a hairdresser again after four years away from the chair. Others single out the head massage that comes with the wash, and the hot towels that arrive, as one happy client put it, as a lovely surprise.
The service list covers the full spectrum of hair work. Colour services are personalised, whether that means highlights or a full-colour change, applied with an expert hand. Cuts are precise and tailored — from a simple trim through to a complete transformation — and men are welcome too, with classic cuts, clipper trims and quick tidy-ups in a relaxed, professional setting.
For events, there's styling for any occasion: sleek blow-dries, curls and polished finishes, plus crafted looks for weddings, parties and celebrations. Clients dreaming of more hair can opt for premium Bellami Extensions, whether the goal is added length, extra volume or a whole new style.
The treatments menu is where the salon leans properly into pampering. The ABC Deluxe Treatment pairs Redken's moisture+ protein complex with a luxurious head massage, a hot towel to help the treatment soak in, and a hand-and-arm massage with Pure Fiji hand cream. Targeted ABC Moisture and ABC Protein treatments use Redken acidic concentrates with pH sealers and hot towels to restore hydration or strength. And if you're not sure what you want, a free 15-minute consultation lets you talk everything through before committing.
Sustainability isn't a side note here. Aimee Jade Hair Artistry is Cromwell's only Sustainable Salon, a proud partner of Sustainable Salons, through which 95% of the salon's waste is recycled, repurposed or donated. Even every strand of cut hair is put to use: it's collected and passed on to wigmakers and organisations such as Variety and the Australia Alopecia Areata Foundation, where it helps create charitable wigs or funds life-changing programs for people in need.
The salon sits inside the Radiance Day Spa at 7A Murray Terrace, Cromwell, and appointments can be booked online in a few clicks. Gift vouchers are available, and payment is flexible, with Afterpay alongside major cards and digital wallets. Note that pricing is currently under review, so contact the salon directly for current prices. The shelves carry the brands used in the chair: Redken Professional Haircare and Bellami Extensions, alongside Mermade, Halo Couture and Filtered Beauty.
Whether you're after a sharp cut before a weekend around Cromwell, a bold colour change, bridal hair or simply half an hour of quiet with a hot towel, the promise is the same: personalised, professional results — and a little serenity along the way.
