Phillipa's Hair Retreat is a hair salon at 8 Gangway Road in Kaeo, in the Far North of Northland, run by Phillipa — Pip — a stylist and bridal hairstylist who also works in Kerikeri. Customers describe the atmosphere as beautiful and welcoming and praise how well she listens, and appointments can be booked online. A good salon visit starts before any scissors come out: a proper consultation about your hair's history, how you actually wear it, and what will suit your face and lifestyle. Colour work especially depends on protecting the hair's condition, which is why trained colourists talk about integrity and tone as much as the finished shade. For weddings, most stylists recommend booking a trial weeks ahead so the style is settled rather than improvised on the morning. Whether it's a bob, fine hair, balayage or bridal hair, you'll find Phillipa's Hair Retreat on Gangway Road in Kaeo.
