Blonde balayage and technical colour work form the core of Behind the Mirror, a dedicated styling salon founded by owner Alysha on Paramount Parade in Tikipunga. The salon pairs its colouring work with a range of Keune hair care and styling products, matching in-chair treatments to aftercare formulas that clients can take home. Clients highlight the steady consistency of the team's styling over repeat visits, noting that appointments reliably turn out as planned.
One of two hair salons within a kilometre in Tikipunga, it sits alongside Wild Hare just down the road and holds the area's established rating record. Appointments can be booked online through their website, with text confirmations sent 48 hours in advance. If you need to rearrange a time, note that the salon requires at least 24 hours of notice, particularly over the weekend when doors are shut on Saturdays and Sundays. It is a reliable suburban stop in Whangarei for deliberate, custom colour work without heading into the city centre.
