Hair Creations is a hair salon on Great North Rd in St Johns Hill, Whanganui, holding a 5.0 Google rating from its two reviews. A good salon visit usually starts with a proper consultation: a stylist who asks how you wear your hair day to day, how much time you will really spend on it, and what has or hasn't worked before, then talks through what is realistic for your hair type. Regulars tend to stay with one stylist for years, since someone who knows how your hair takes a cut or a colour saves a lot of trial and error. Bringing in a photo helps, but expect a good stylist to adapt it to your hair rather than copy it exactly. For St Johns Hill locals, a salon on Great North Rd keeps a fresh cut close to home.
