Daisy's Hair And Beauty Salon, in Naenae, Lower Hutt, is a neighbourhood hair salon carrying a five-star Google rating. A suburban salon lives on its regulars, so local word of mouth is the best guide: if you admire a neighbour's cut, ask where it happens. A stylist worth returning to listens first, works with the hair you actually have, and cuts with an eye on the grow-out, because the honest test of a haircut is how it sits by week three. For colour, a proper consultation about your hair's history should come before any foil; a good colourist will talk you out of a change that will not last. Weekend slots at busy local salons fill early, so ringing ahead beats walking in. For Naenae locals, Daisy's is an easy first call the next time a haircut is due.
