The salon specialises in professional hair extensions, expert cut and colour, mesh integration for hair loss, and a deeply relaxing Head Spa experience that has quickly become one of their most in-demand bookings.
What sets Distinction apart is the pairing of advanced technique with a genuine commitment to ethical, eco-conscious hairdressing.

On Broadway Avenue in the middle of Palmerston North, Distinction Hair Design has built its reputation on a simple idea: beautiful hair shouldn't come at the planet's expense. The salon specialises in professional hair extensions, expert cut and colour, mesh integration for hair loss, and a Head Spa experience that has quickly become one of the most talked-about bookings in the city.
Extensions are the salon's calling card. Their Ginger & Wolf range is 100% human hair, applied with natural keratin bonds that expand and contract with water rather than pinching or breaking the natural hair underneath. The result is a secure, damage-free fit that adds length, volume and body instantly. Every extension journey starts with a consultation, where a Hair Extension Specialist works out the right method and gives a tailored quote before any work begins.
The salon is equally serious about colour. They work with vegan, cruelty-free colour and eco-conscious products, offering foils, global colour, balayage and ombre, toners and scalp bleach. Reviewers regularly mention the lovely atmosphere and staff — clients leave, in their own words, with a smile on their dial loving their haircut.
Two services set Distinction apart from a typical high-street salon. The first is their Head Spa — a deeply relaxing scalp ritual and transformation experience that books out fast, with the team releasing limited appointments and encouraging early booking.
The second is mesh integration, a seamless solution for hair loss caused by chemotherapy, alopecia or thinning. It's an area the salon approaches with particular care, offering consultations to work out whether the system is right for each individual.
Day to day, the salon covers everything you'd expect and more: women's cuts and blow waves, full restyles, men's cuts and clipper cuts, children's haircuts for ages 0–12, and fringe trims between appointments. Styling options include hair ups for any occasion, blow waves, and express keratin blowouts for sleek, glossy hair. Treatment add-ons like K18 bond repair, nourishing masks and scalp exfoliation can be paired with any service.
Extension wearers are looked after long-term too, with tape maintenance, colour pop extensions and professional removal on the menu.
Walking into Distinction feels less like an errand and more like a reset. The stylists are qualified, the consultation-first approach means no surprises, and the focus on ethical, responsibly sourced materials runs through everything from the colour trolley to the extension hair itself. Gift vouchers make it easy to share the experience, and online booking through their system takes the hassle out of finding a time that suits.
Whether you're after a subtle refresh, a dramatic transformation, support through hair loss, or simply the most relaxing hour of your week, Distinction Hair Design has made itself one of Palmerston North's most complete hair destinations — where confidence, comfort and sustainability meet in the chair.
