Le Chic Salon is a hair salon on State Highway 10 at Waipapa, just outside Kerikeri in the Far North, taking appointments through its online booking page.
A good hair salon is built on consultation: a stylist who asks how you wear your hair every day, what has and hasn't worked before, and is honest about what your hair type will actually do. Regulars tend to stick with one stylist for years, because that person remembers your colour, your cowlicks and the cut that suits you. For anything beyond a trim it pays to book ahead rather than walk in, and to bring a photo but hold it loosely. If you're trying someone new, start with a smaller change and judge the result by how well it grows out.
For Waipapa and Kerikeri locals, that kind of long-running stylist relationship is right on the doorstep at Le Chic Salon.
