Pairing precision cutting and colour work with a dedicated on-site shampoo shop, Walter & Co Hairdressing brings experienced styling to Thames's main retail strip. Services by New Zealand Trade-qualified stylists cover everything from precision cuts, balayage, and Fanola and Lust vivid colouring to permanent straightening, nanoplasty, and keratin smoothing treatments. They also cater to weddings, balls, and local photo shoots with event hair-ups, alongside bond-building and deep conditioning treatments. An integrated retail shop stocks products and tools from brands including Joico, Pure, Juuce, Lust, and De Lorenzo Novafusion. Free consultations are available for anything from minor adjustments to full makeovers.
One of five hair salons within a kilometre on Pollen Street, the salon operates Tuesday to Friday, offering extended late evenings until 6:30 pm on Tuesdays and 8:00 pm on Wednesdays. Substantial appointments—including full head foils, balayage, keratin, nanoplasty, and permanent straightening—require a \$100 booking fee in advance (as at 2026), which comes off your final bill. You will find them at 558 Pollen Street in Thames. Our pick in Thames when you need an evening hair appointment after the workday wraps up.
