Sunflower Hair Design is a small hair salon on Caledonia Street in Miramar, Wellington, run since 2017 by stylist Mel, whose two decades in the trade include seven years in London. Her focus is cutting and colouring, with wellbeing treated as part of the appointment rather than an afterthought.
The cuts and colours that really work tend to come from a stylist who knows your hair — how it took the last colour, how it sits between visits, how much effort you will actually put in each morning — which is why regulars often stay with one salon for years. When choosing, look for someone who asks questions before picking up the scissors, and be honest about your styling routine. Small suburban salons are often where that kind of continuity happens best.
For Miramar locals after a haircut that doubles as a proper pause in the week, Sunflower Hair Design is handy on Caledonia Street.
