Hair Wizards is a hair salon in the shopping centre on White Street in Taradale, Napier, holding a 4.2 Google rating and keeping an online presence through its Facebook page. A good suburban salon lives or dies by its regulars. Treat the first visit as a consultation: a stylist worth returning to asks about your hair history, how you wear it day to day, and how much styling you'll realistically do at home. Colour is the other thing to plan for — a first colour often needs a patch test a day or two ahead and takes much longer than a cut, so book accordingly. Regulars usually settle on one stylist rather than the salon itself; once someone knows how your hair holds a shape or takes colour, every visit gets easier. For Taradale locals doing the White Street shops, a salon with a solid 4.2 is a handy place to start that relationship.
