Mane Salon
hair salon — Te Aro · Wellington
About Mane Salon
Mane Salon on Ghuznee Street in Te Aro, central Wellington, calls itself the home of beautiful hair — and the team, who call themselves the Manies, back that up with a service menu built around expressive colour work and precise cutting. Seeking the perfect pastel hue, a sunkissed balayage or a glossy blonde? A sharp cut or an effortless style? That's the everyday craft here, guided by the salon's stated values of excellence, loyalty and happiness, and a mission to create a unique experience that leaves clients feeling true self-confidence.
Colour is where Mane is at its most playful, running from classical foil patterns to what the team describes as expressionism: creative colour placed freehand, with no two heads the same. Newcomers are asked to read the published price list before booking, and the salon's Colour Lingo guide explains the terminology behind every colour service so clients can book with confidence.
Beyond the chair, Mane runs its own training academy, a Forever Mane rewards programme, and an online shop stocking salon-grade hair care from Kevin Murphy, Eleven Australia, K18, Ethica and Glowwa — browsable by hair concern, from blonde and curl to hydrate, repair, volume and scalp. The team also writes openly about sustainability and wellbeing, from protecting Papatūānuku to the idea that healthy hair can help a healthy mind, reflecting a salon that sees beauty as much more than skin deep.
Mane Salon: Wellington's Home of Beautiful Hair on Ghuznee Street
Step into Mane Salon on Ghuznee Street in Te Aro and you'll quickly understand the tagline: this is a self-declared home of beautiful hair. The central Wellington salon has built its reputation on colour work with real personality — sunkissed balayage, glossy blondes and the perfect pastel hue are all squarely in the team's wheelhouse — alongside sharp cutting and effortless styling. The stylists call themselves the Manies, and the salon's stated purpose is to create a unique experience that enhances how clients look so they walk out feeling true self-confidence. Three words anchor everything they do: excellence, loyalty and happiness.
Colour, from classical to expressionist
Colour is where Mane is at its most expressive. The service menu runs from traditional foil patterns to what the team calls creative colour — their own blog describes the difference as classical painting versus expressionism, where the pattern is set aside and colour is placed freehand. It's a services category, not a gimmick, and it sits alongside the balayage, blonde and pastel work the salon is known for.
If you're new to salon colour, Mane makes it easy to learn the language before you book. Their Colour Lingo guide explains everything about the colour services on offer, and new clients are asked to read the published price list before booking so there are no surprises at the chair. A hair gallery showcases the team's work, and a Forever Mane rewards programme looks after regulars, while Share the Love celebrates the client community.
The Manies also think beyond the mirror. Their blog ranges from six reasons healthy hair can help a healthy mind — part of rethinking what a salon space can be — to tips for protecting Papatūānuku and what the salon is doing to green its own footprint. Through Manies Creating Better Days, that ethos extends into the community. And for those on the other side of the chair, Mane Salon Training is the salon's academy arm, with aBecome a Manie pathway for stylists looking to join the team.
Salon-grade hair care to take home
Mane's online shop brings the salon shelf home, stocking brands the team actually uses: Kevin Murphy, Eleven Australia, K18, Ethica and Glowwa. Browsing is organised by hair concern — blonde, colour care, curl, hydrate, repair, volume and scalp — as well as by product type, from shampoo and conditioner to styling, treatments and gift vouchers.
Standouts include Kevin Murphy's YOUNG.AGAIN, a weightless leave-in treatment oil enriched with Immortelle that leaves hair stronger, smoother and shiny on all hair types; the new KILLER.CURLS wash and rinse duo, made to define, enhance and refine naturally textured or permed hair; and the EVERLASTING.COLOUR range, formulated to restore and strengthen chemically treated hair while extending vibrancy and shine over time. The shop's top seller is the K18 Biomimetic Molecular Repair Hair Mask, a 50ml molecular repair treatment with a devoted following.
Shopping online comes with practical perks: free shipping on all orders over $65 and Afterpay available, alongside standard card and PayPal payment options. Gift vouchers make an easy present for anyone due a colour refresh.
Planning your visit
Mane Salon sits at 62 Ghuznee Street in Te Aro, right in the middle of Wellington's retail quarter — an easy stop whether you're combining the appointment with lunch or a spot of shopping. Appointments can be booked through the salon's website, and the team is active on Instagram, Facebook and TikTok, where their colour work does a lot of the talking.
First-timers should do two things before booking: read the Services & Prices page so you know what to expect, and skim the Colour Lingo guide if you're considering a colour service. From there, whether you're after a subtle refresh or a full expressionist transformation, the Manies' promise is the same — beautiful hair, and the self-confidence that comes with it.
