TrademarX Hair Design is a modern, affordable salon in the centre of Palmerston North, sitting on the corner of Ferguson and Fitzherbert Streets with plenty of free parking right at the front door. From the moment you walk through the doors, the aim is simple: sit back, relax, and let the friendly, knowledgeable stylists take care of all your hairdressing needs.
The salon covers the full spectrum of hairdressing — colouring, cuts, styling and treatments. Colour work ranges from global tints and T-bar retouches to foils, balayage hair painting and on-scalp lightening, with the team trained in Keune colouring and products since July 2023. Cuts span ladies', men's and children's styles, from pixie cuts and textured shags to precise bobs and first haircuts for pre-schoolers.
Consultation sits at the heart of how TrademarX works — the team describes it as the start of any great relationship and welcomes bookings for a chat before any big change. Weddings are a standout specialty: stylist Ameka offers offsite, pre-booked bridal services with a run sheet so the day runs smoothly, and she's known to travel — one bride flew her to Central Hawkes Bay for a wedding-day style that held through wind and well into the night.
In-salon treatments include a range of keratin smoothing, standard and deluxe moisture treatments, and chemical straightening, all aimed at hair that looks and feels fabulous long after you leave. The shop also stocks professional brands such as Keune, Angel En Provence, L'Oréal Professionnel and Keratin Complex — shampoos, conditioners, styling products and hair masks.
Clients describe TrademarX as a beautiful, upscale salon with stylists who genuinely have a talent for hair; some travel from out of town just to return. Led by Tania and the TrademarX team, the salon accepts Afterpay, shares news and special promotions through its newsletter, and is currently growing, with a first-year apprentice sought to join the team.
Treat yourself to a style experience — that's the promise at TrademarX Hair Design, a modern and affordable salon on the corner of Ferguson and Fitzherbert Streets in the centre of Palmerston North. With plenty of free parking right at the front door, getting here is the easy part. From the moment you walk through the doors, the idea is that you sit back, relax, and let the friendly, knowledgeable stylists take care of all your hairdressing needs.
TrademarX covers the full range of salon work under one roof. Colour is a genuine strength: the team has been trained in Keune colouring and products since July 2023, and they're quick to say they love both the range and the salon support the company provides. Whether you're after a touch-up tint or set on changing your look completely, the colour menu runs from global colour and T-bar retouches through to foils, balayage hair painting and on-scalp lightening.
Cuts are just as comprehensive. Ladies' cuts cover everything from pixie cuts and textured shags to precise bobs, while men's cuts and children's cuts — from pre-school through primary and intermediate school — make the salon a one-stop shop for the whole family. Whatever you choose, the goal is the same: to make sure you leave feeling confident.
One of TrademarX's standout offerings is wedding hair. Stylist Ameka offers offsite, pre-booked wedding services that begin with a consultation to make sure your date is available. From there she helps put together a run sheet so everything runs smoothly and you get to enjoy your big day. Appointments for busy seasons are normally made about a year in advance — book in quick, the salon advises.
It's not just talk, either. One bride describes having Ameka do her and her wedding party's hair in Central Hawkes Bay as 'the icing on the cake', with fresh foils highlighted through a low bun and loose curls that framed her face and held through a windy day and night. Special occasion hair is also available in the salon by senior staff, and blow wave styling keeps everyday looks polished.
Beyond the scissors and colour bowls, TrademarX provides a range of in-salon treatments to improve the health and strength of your hair and scalp — from keratin smoothing treatments and standard or deluxe moisture treatments through to chemical straightening. The aim is hair that looks and feels fabulous long after you leave the salon.
Take-home care is covered too. The salon proudly stocks professional hairdressing supplies from some of the leading brands in the industry, including Keune, Angel En Provence, L'Oréal Professionnel and Keratin Complex — everything from shampoos and conditioners to styling products and hair masks. Ask the team what suits your hair at your next visit.
If there's one thing the stylists want you to know, it's that they have 'a strong passion for consultation'. They see it as the start of any great relationship — so whether you're contemplating a dramatic change or just want a fresh opinion, they'll happily book you in for a chat before any scissors come out.
That care shows in what clients say. Reviewers call TrademarX 'a beautiful, upscale salon' with stylists who are 'extremely friendly and truly have a talent in the art of hair'. One client says she came from out of town and will definitely travel back — 'it is completely worth it'.
The salon is led by Tania and the TrademarX team, and it's growing — they're currently on the lookout for a first-year apprentice to join the crew. Doors are open Tuesday to Saturday, with a late night on Wednesday until 8pm and a morning-only session on Tuesdays; the salon is closed Mondays and Sundays. Afterpay is accepted, and signing up to the newsletter brings the latest news, special promotions, staff news and holiday reminders straight to your inbox.
Bookings can be made online in a few clicks, so securing a chair is simple. Whether it's a blow wave before an event, a balayage refresh or a child's first proper haircut, TrademarX aims to send every client out the door feeling confident — with free parking at the door, there's no excuse not to treat yourself to a style experience.
