Botanical Blade Hair Studio is a hair salon at 122 Helensburgh Road in Wakari, Dunedin, where appointments can be booked online through Fresha.
A good salon visit usually starts with a proper consultation: the stylist should ask about your hair history — previous colour, box dyes, heat damage — before committing to anything, because that determines what your hair will actually take. Bring photos of looks you like, but expect an honest opinion on whether they suit your hair type and how much upkeep they'll need; a stylist who talks you out of an unrealistic colour is doing you a favour. Regulars tend to rebook their cut every six to eight weeks and stick with one stylist who has learned how their hair behaves.
Set on Helensburgh Road in Wakari, Botanical Blade Hair Studio gives Dunedin's hill suburbs a handy neighbourhood spot for keeping hair in shape.
