Blades Hair Salon sits at 45 Dublin Street in Whanganui Central and holds a 4.7-star rating from 40 Google reviews, keeping in touch with clients through its Facebook page. A good hair salon is judged less by the cut on the day than by how it grows out. That starts with the consultation: a stylist worth returning to asks how you wear your hair day to day and what's realistic for your hair type before picking up the scissors. The same honesty matters with colour — big changes usually take more than one sitting, and a good salon will say so upfront. In a city the size of Whanganui, salons live on repeat visits and word of mouth, so once you find your fit, it pays to stick with the same stylist. With its strong rating on Dublin Street, Blades Hair Salon is an easy place to start the search for your next Whanganui cut.
