Finding a hair salon you trust isn't just about the cut. It's about a team that gets your hair, listens to what you actually want, and gives you a result you can manage at home. Across our salons we've built that around one idea: the consultation comes first, and the condition of your hair matters as much as the colour or the shape.

Whether you're in the city for work, out on the North Shore, or down in the Bay of Plenty, our stylists keep your hair sharp, healthy and easy to live with. From a quick trim to a full colour change or a smoothing treatment, the standard is the same at every chair.

The April's difference

We don't just chase trends. Our stylists train continually in current cutting and colour technique, so the work holds up, the condition holds up, and you leave looking like yourself on a good day. That's the whole intention.

Laboratorie · Kingsland

In the middle of Kingsland, Laboratorie is where hair gets treated like a craft. It's the salon to book for complex colour corrections, clean high-contrast blondes and sharp, structural cuts, all done with an eye on keeping your hair in good nick. Steps from Kingsland Station, with great coffee and the best cafes in town on the doorstep.

Moment · Grafton / Eden Terrace

Moment is built for the pace of the inner city. A calm spot to pause and reset, with efficient, high-impact colour and wearable, low-fuss style for people whose time is tight. Handy to the CBD, Grafton and Eden Terrace.

Hair Intentions · Rothesay Bay

Over the bridge on the North Shore, Hair Intentions is a boutique salon that listens before it lifts a brush. A more intimate, personal experience focused on tailored colour, cuts and smoothing in a relaxed Rothesay Bay setting.

Honeycomb House of Hair · Tauranga

Our Bay of Plenty salon, and some of the best hands in Tauranga. The same group standard for cut, colour and treatments, with a warm local feel.

Balayage & blonde

Our stylists are known for clean, lived-in colour and blonde work that stays bright without wrecking the condition. Balayage, foils, full colour and the technical work of correcting colour that's gone wrong, all planned to suit your hair and how much upkeep you want between visits.

Smoothing: keratin, nanoplasty & Qi Qi

For frizz and styling time you'd rather be rid of, we offer a full range of smoothing. A keratin treatment to calm frizz, the amino-acid approach of nanoplasty, or the longer-lasting Qi Qi system. Many are formaldehyde-free and safe for coloured and bleached hair. Your stylist matches the right one to your hair type. We also do modern perms for those after structure and wave.

Extensions & styling

Add length and thickness with quality, ethically sourced extensions, colour-matched and fitted to sit naturally. And for the day-to-day or the big day, a signature blow wave, up-do or event style that holds the distance.

Always learning

What makes a good stylist? We reckon it's the appetite to keep learning. Our team trains continually in current technique, so when you book with us you're getting up-to-date skill, not last decade's habits.

Kinder practices

We work to keep our footprint down across the group, choosing cruelty-free products, cutting and recycling salon waste where we can, and backing brands that take it seriously too.
