Clear Cuts Hair Design is a family friendly hair salon at 242 Queen Street, Richmond, in the Tasman district, cutting and colouring for men, women and children. Owner and style director Chinwind, trained in Christchurch, specialises in precision cuts and colours, chemical straightening, Keratin treatment and men's modern cuts, with a price list running from skin fades and kids' trims to full head colour.
In a good salon the visit starts with a real consultation: a stylist who asks how you actually wear your hair, and what styling you will keep up, beats one who simply follows a photo. Colour is the bigger commitment — roots regrow and tones drift, so ask about upkeep and aftercare before a big change. Family salons live on regulars, from toddlers' first haircuts to seniors' trims, and regulars tend to keep the same chair.
That blend of barbering and family hairdressing is what Clear Cuts offers from its Queen Street address in central Richmond.
