Shine Hair Consultants and Design is a light-filled, modern salon on Roxburgh Street in Mount Victoria, at the corner of Majoribanks Street. It has been in business for more than 25 years, and it moved to Roxburgh Street from Oriental Bay. The stylists are all master stylists, and the salon offers one-tone colour, babylights, balayage, blended looks and hair extensions. Hair extensions need a longer consultation of 30 minutes. New colour clients book a consultation and colour allergy test first. A trainee, Caitlyn, is also in the salon, and clients may have her do their hair at a reduced price, with services limited to her stage of training.
Bookings can be made online by choosing a category, a stylist and a date, or by email. Cancellations need at least 48 hours' notice, and within 48 hours a fee of up to 50 per cent of the cost applies to larger services. Hair extensions take a non-refundable deposit, and text reminders go out three days before an appointment. It is one of 12 hair salons within a kilometre. Lunara Nail & Hair, 0.1 km away, has 55 reviews averaging 4.8, and Puddles Hair Stylists, 0.3 km away, has 55 reviews averaging 4.9.
