Kess Hair & Beauty Centerplace is a hair salon at Shop 39, Centre Place Mall in Hamilton Central, holding a 4.9 Google rating and taking bookings online through Fresha. A good salon visit starts with a consultation, and it pays to be upfront about your hair's history — old box dye, previous bleach — because colour results depend on that as much as the photo you bring in. Regulars tend to stick with one stylist who has learned their hair over several visits, which is why rebooking before you leave the chair is so common. Mall salons suit busy schedules, letting a trim or a full colour slot into a lunch break or a shopping run, though bigger appointments are best booked ahead. Tucked inside Centre Place, Kess sits in the heart of Hamilton Central's shopping strip, handy for a cut between errands.
