The studio is led by salon manager Sam Nelson, a senior stylist with more than 16 years in the industry, known for delivering exceptional results and for the work she shares on Instagram at @scissorsandsam. Alongside her is Amy Barnes, the salon's colour specialist, who brings over 20 years of experience creating stunning, vivid looks. Amy's passion for vibrant hues — paired with a commitment to exceptional customer service — makes her a go-to for clients chasing something colourful.
Between them, the team covers the full spectrum of hair work, and the salon's website and Instagram feed showcase plenty of it: colour transformations, fresh cuts and event-ready styling.
Blossom's menu is organised into five clear areas. **Cut & Style** covers everything from a simple trim to a complete restyle, plus blow waves, curls or straightening, men's cuts, clipper cuts all over and children's cuts for under-11s. **Foils & Balayage** is where the colour work happens — full head and half head foils, foils blended with roots, balayage for that sun-kissed look, and toning to keep colour fresh. **Permanent Colour** offers global colour for a full change and root touch-ups between visits, while **Keratin Smoothing** features the Keratin Therapy Lisse Design treatment for smoother, more manageable hair.
There's a thoughtful Golden Oldies range too, with dedicated cut and blow wave services for guests over 65 — a nod to the salon's place at the heart of the Otumoetai community.
Testimonials on the studio's site tell a consistent story. One recent visitor described being "greeted with warm smiles and professionalism" from the moment they stepped in, and praised a team that "went above and beyond" to keep them comfortable and confident. Another called out a stylist who was "incredibly knowledgeable and attentive, taking the time to understand my hair concerns and preferences," and who delivered "a stunning cut and color that exceeded my expectations." A third simply recommended Blossom to "anyone looking for a top-notch hair experience."
Blossom Hair Studio is open Monday to Friday from 9am to 5pm and Saturday from 9am to 2pm, closed on Sundays. Appointments can be booked online through the salon's website or by phone on 07 576 9067. It's worth noting that pricing varies between individual stylists, so the team recommends asking for a quote when you make your booking. Afterpay is available, making it easier to spread out the cost of bigger colour services.
Whether you're an Otumoetai local due for a trim or planning a full colour transformation, Blossom Hair Studio offers the kind of relaxed, skilled salon experience that keeps clients coming back — and leaves you looking and feeling your best.
