La Villa Hairdressing and Extensions

About La Villa Hairdressing and Extensions

La Villa Hairdressing and Extensions is a premium hair salon on Jackson Street in Petone, Lower Hutt, set in a French-inspired building where, on sunny days, natural light floods through the whole salon. The team of master stylists covers an extensive range of hairdressing services — new colour, restyles, tints, creative colour, foils, treatments and up dos for women, plus men's cutting and grey blending and children's dry cuts — with a focus on looks that complement your toning, colours and face shape using tried-and-proven professional products.

Extensions are the salon's signature. After years of training across New Zealand and overseas, the owner invented the Smooth Wefting system — a technically advanced form of micro-weaving that has undergone rigorous patent procedures and is so flat and inconspicuous it is undetectable to the touch. The method uses no glue, tape, braiding or chemicals on natural hair, is applied in 45 minutes to an hour, comes in lengths up to 22 inches, and lasts 7-12 months or more when cared for properly. La Villa is the first and only salon in NZ to have invented and mastered the system, and it has designed its own range of plant-based haircare to keep extensions in top condition.

The experience is deliberately relaxing: while your colour processes you can sit with a glass of wine or a cappuccino and the latest magazines, surrounded by tranquility and a little excitement. Professional products from the likes of Olaplex, Kevin Murphy, Davines and Evo are used in salon and sold through the online store alongside the salon's own Vixen & Luxe clip-in range, Afterpay is available on services, and consultations for cuts and colours are free.

La Villa Hairdressing & Extensions: Petone's Premium Salon for Patented Smooth Weft Extensions and Creative Colour

On Jackson Street in the heart of Petone, behind a French-inspired facade, La Villa Hairdressing and Extensions has made its name as one of Wellington's premium hair destinations. The team's mission is simple: they want every client to feel confident and empowered — to be, in their words, unforgivably yourself. Whether you're after a fresh colour, a completely new style, or the long, full hair of your dreams, the salon's master stylists work across an extensive menu of hairdressing services using tried-and-proven professional products chosen to complement your toning, colours and face shape.

Step inside on a sunny day and the difference is immediate. Natural light floods the whole salon, and while your colour processes you're invited to settle in with a glass of wine or a cappuccino and a couple of the latest magazines. The team's stated goal is that stress and chaos melt away the moment you walk in, leaving a feeling of tranquility, peace and excitement all rolled into one — and perfection assured each and every visit.

The Smooth Wefting difference

Extensions are where La Villa truly sets itself apart. In the salon's early years, its founder travelled across New Zealand and overseas to learn different methods and to educate herself extensively in recognising true hair quality worldwide. After years of extension work and trialling methods, she invented her own Smooth Wefting system — a technically advanced version of micro-weaving that has undergone years of testing and rigorous patent procedures. The weft is so flat and inconspicuous that it is undetectable to the touch, and La Villa is the first and only salon in New Zealand to have invented and mastered the system.

Just as importantly, the method uses no glue, tape, braiding or chemicals on the natural hair — protecting the health of your own hair while you wear the length and volume you've always wanted. The hair is the finest ethically sourced quality, with very little shedding. Extensions come in lengths up to 22 inches, are applied in just 45 minutes to an hour, and last seven to twelve months — often twelve months or more with proper care. Every stylist on the team has been fully trained in the technique, and the salon has designed its own range of plant-based haircare to extend the life of the hair. Flat wefts, veiled wefts, nano tips and the salon's own Vixen & Luxe clip-ins are all available, with extension pricing including a full retail pack of four products and a cut to blend.

Colour, cutting and care

Beyond extensions, the service menu covers the full spectrum of salon work. Ladies' cutting and styling sits alongside dry styling, men's wash-cut-and-finish and grey blending, children's dry cuts for under 11s, and creative up dos timed from 30 to 60 minutes. Tints run from short regrowth retouches through to mid-back lengths, each including an express conditioning treatment and blow dry. Creative colour is a house strength: freehand balayage, foilayage and a full range of powder-lightener services all come with bond builder included, and the stylists also take on colour correction, assessed and quoted in salon.

Hair health gets its own chapter of the menu. Prescriptive deluxe conditioning treatments come with a hot towel, K18 repair restores hair by 86% in a single session and includes a take-home treatment, and smoothing de-frizz treatments deliver four to six weeks of smoothness when applied straight after colour. Professional names like Olaplex, Kevin Murphy, Davines, Evo and De Lorenzo are stocked through the salon's online store, and Afterpay is accepted on services.

Booking and good to know

Appointments can be made by phone on 04 976 6848, through the salon's booking form, or via its online booking system, and consultations for cuts and colours are free — fringe trims are free for regular clients, too. Because appointments are reserved especially for you, the salon asks for at least 24 hours' notice to cancel or reschedule (48 hours during December), and reminders can be sent by text, email or phone call at whatever interval suits you. Do arrive on time: if you're 15 minutes or more late you may be asked to rebook. Hours run late Monday to Thursday until 8pm, Friday until 5pm, and Saturday from 8am to 4pm — Sundays the salon is closed.
