Amin Hair & Beauty is a beauty salon at 69 Ward Street in central Hamilton, by Centre Place and the city's main shopping blocks. A good beauty salon is as much about the questions as the treatments: expect a therapist to ask about your skin, any medications such as retinol or acne treatment, and allergies before waxing, tinting or a facial, because these change what is safe on the day. Patch tests for lash and brow tint are standard practice, and a salon that raises them unprompted is usually one that takes its work seriously. Regulars book ahead, since town salons fill up around lunchtime and towards the weekend, and they often time appointments around shopping or work errands nearby. For anyone living or working around Hamilton's CBD, Amin Hair & Beauty keeps a salon close at hand on Ward Street.
