JimmyQ Hairdressers is a full service, designer hair salon on Kilbirnie Cres in Kilbirnie, Wellington, catering to both men and women. The salon is built on a passionate belief: hair is the ultimate fashion accessory — worn every day, it reflects the personality of the individual and is as important to the total fashion look as any item of catwalk clothing.
Behind the chairs is a team of highly skilled stylists and colourists offering the latest trends in hair design and colour. The team enthusiastically pursues current techniques and, working with revolutionary Matrix products, translates them into personalised, fashionable hairstyles rather than one-size-fits-all cuts.
Every engagement starts with an in-depth complimentary consultation, in which the expert hair team assesses your hair and analyses its texture, your face shape and your hair's capabilities. Beyond the appointment itself, the team is available to advise on all aspects of your hair and to help you maintain its condition and manageability between visits.
JimmyQ Hairdressers runs from Kilbirnie Cres in Kilbirnie, Wellington, on a conviction its owners describe as passionate: hair is the ultimate fashion accessory. It is worn every day, it reflects the personality of the individual, and — in the salon's view — it matters to a total fashion look every bit as much as any item of catwalk clothing. That idea is more than a slogan. It frames how this full service, designer hair salon approaches every client, man or woman, who sits in its chairs.
That philosophy has practical consequences. If hair is an accessory worn daily, a haircut cannot be judged only in the salon mirror — it has to work on an ordinary Tuesday, at work, at home, out and about. It is why the salon invests so heavily in consultation and in advice about maintaining condition and manageability: a great style is one a client can keep wearing long after they have left Kilbirnie Cres.
JimmyQ Hairdressers caters to both men and women, and the breadth of that offering is central to how the salon presents itself. Behind the chairs is a team of highly skilled stylists and colourists whose work spans the latest trends in hair design and colour. Whether a client wants a fresh cut, a new colour or a considered restyle, the salon positions itself where current fashion thinking meets personal style.
Staying current is an explicit commitment. The team enthusiastically pursues the latest techniques in hairdressing, and those techniques are put to work with revolutionary Matrix products. The pairing matters: for JimmyQ, professional product and up-to-date technique are the tools that turn broad trends into personalised, fashionable hairstyles suited to the individual, rather than a template repeated from head to head.
The most distinctive feature of the JimmyQ experience is the in-depth complimentary consultation that opens every engagement. Before any scissors or colour come out, the salon's expert hair team assesses your hair and analyses three things: its texture, your face shape and your hair's actual capabilities.
It is a practical step as much as a conversational one. Understanding how hair behaves — what it will hold, what it won't, what genuinely suits the person wearing it — is how the team ensures the style a client leaves with can really be lived in. And the relationship does not end at the door: the team is available to advise on all aspects of your hair and to help you maintain its condition and manageability between visits.
JimmyQ works with Matrix, a professional haircare brand the salon describes as revolutionary. The products are part of how the salon's chosen techniques are translated into finished, fashionable hairstyles, and they support the colour and styling work done in the chair. For clients, they also carry through to home care: the team can advise on looking after hair between appointments so condition and manageability hold up day to day.
The salon is at 112 Kilbirnie Cres in Kilbirnie, Wellington, convenient for locals in the suburb and for clients travelling from across the city. Appointments can be arranged by phone on (04) 387 9580 or on the salon's mobile, 027 598 8042, and the website carries a price list, product information and a booking enquiry form for those who prefer to make contact online.
First-time visitors can expect the complimentary consultation to come first: a genuine assessment of hair texture, face shape and hair capabilities, followed by a recommendation built around the individual. Questions are welcome — advising on all aspects of your hair is precisely what the team says it is there for.
