Watch out for Rick the hair guru. I was 15 minutes late for my appointment due to heavy traffic. Sadly, with no remorse, they overreacted, were rude, and continued to give me attitude throughout my visit, venting their frustration on me. There were hints of discrimination when I mentioned I was coming from South Auckland. They couldnβt care less for my explanation or my apology for the lateness.
Then I was informed that curtain bangs and face-framing styles aren't suitable for wavy hair, even though I've had these styles before. This whole ordeal could have been avoided if they weren't so petty, unprofessional, and lacked basic customer service. My experience in the salon sadly didn't align with the inclusive and welcoming atmosphere I've seen on social media about Commune and its representation for all individuals, ethnicities, and genders. I would have gladly rebooked, but instead, I was left feeling unwelcome, judged, uncomfortable, and let down. I have never faced this kind of mistreatment from any other service provider.
Kindness truly makes a difference.Commune Studio is open in Monday: Closed Tuesday: 10:00-20:00 Wednesday: 10:00-20:00 Thursday: 10:00-20:00 Friday: Closed Saturday: Closed Sunday: Closed

Was warmly greeted by Jack and the team. Spent hours reading reviews before booking my appointment, determined to visit this salon. Unaware that they were the team that had relocated from Queen Street (the salon I was trying to book into but couldn't find), I used my "new customer full head highlights package" voucher. Only had to pay an extra $45 for toner due to my dark hair, knowing it would take multiple sessions to achieve the blonde shade I desired. Held back tears of joy upon leaving, thoroughly impressed and delighted with my new haircut and color. Had avoided salons for a while due to dissatisfaction with previous cuts and colors, so I was quite nervous initially. But wow! Visiting Vivo at Britomart was definitely the best salon experience I've had! The staff are welcoming, friendly, and warm. You're even greeted by lovely large plants throughout the salon π₯° Loved the unique setup of this salon compared to the usual ones (mostly male hairdressers, which I absolutely love). Jack is extremely knowledgeable and will guide you through the process, ensuring the color turns out even better than expected. Peter provided helpful recommendations for future treatments with other hairdressers here in the Bay of Plenty. Highly recommend visiting Vivo at Britomart! The atmosphere is spot on, and I can assure you'll leave swishing your hair like in Pantene ads haha. Love these folks, wish they were located in the BOP region as this would be my go-to salon for sure.

Had a fantastic time at their barbershop. Ryan did an amazing job with my hair, giving me a fresh look that I love. He really saved me after a disastrous cut I got elsewhere. The pricing is fair, and the vibe is super chill and inviting. It can be a bit tricky to spot with all the roadworks going on nearby.About

I had a terrible experience and spent $184. The final result was nothing like what I asked for - I wanted to go darker but was told they couldn't do balayage. I was charged extra on top of the $149 package because my hair was 2 inches past my shoulders. However, it was cut much too short and uneven. Why is it that hairdressers never seem to deliver what you request? I am extremely disappointed, and unfortunately, the evidence is right there on my head. I agree that $184 is cheap if you're satisfied, but if you're not, it feels like a significant amount of money wasted to end up feeling unhappy.Hair Workshop - Hairdressers Browns Bay is open in Monday: Closed Tuesday: 10:00-15:00 Wednesday: 10:00-19:00 Thursday: 10:00-19:00 Friday: 10:00-17:00 Saturday: 9:00-16:00 Sunday: Closed

I switched to Kiara on a mates suggestion after my previous hair stylist closed shop. Being picky, finding a new hairdresser who could meet my high standards was a challenge. However, Kiara has been an excellent choice. She nails the colour, blow dry, and cuts my hair just the way I like it. I always receive heaps of compliments post-visit. The cozy and friendly vibe of the salon is another plus. Kiara and Jack are a delightful, skilled duo that I wholeheartedly recommend.
