Smith & Co is a hair salon at 255 Stafford Street in Timaru Central, rated 4.8 from 59 Google reviews, with its Facebook page the main place to find news or get in touch.
For anyone sizing up a salon, the consultation is the real test: a good stylist asks how you wear your hair day to day, what has and hasn't worked before, and how much effort you will realistically put in, before reaching for the scissors. Regulars tend to agree the relationship matters more than the fit-out — once a stylist has learned how your hair actually behaves, every visit gets easier. It also pays to rebook before you leave, since the stylists people trust are usually booked out weeks ahead.
For Timaru locals after a dependable cut close to the town centre, Smith & Co's steady feedback makes it a natural first stop on Stafford Street.
