🏙️ Elevating Service in Grafton, Eden Terrace, and Newton

The former Moment locations, strategically positioned in the vibrant, high-traffic corridors of Grafton, Eden Terrace, and Newton, are now flagship salons for the Aprils Hair Salons Group. These areas, known for their fusion of historic charm, thriving commerce, and creative spirit, perfectly reflect the Aprils ethos: classic quality with a modern, innovative edge. Our deepened presence here ensures that world-class hair artistry is now more accessible and seamlessly integrated into the demanding, dynamic Auckland lifestyle.

A Consistent Standard of Elevated Service:

• Grafton's Metropolitan Edge: Serving the medical and educational professionals, our Grafton salon offers efficient, high-impact transformations, specialising in precision cuts and sophisticated, low-maintenance colour that stands up to a busy schedule.
• Eden Terrace's Creative Vibe: Reflecting the area's artistic flair, the Eden Terrace salon is a haven for creative colour, texture services, and trend-setting styles. It’s where bold ideas meet flawless execution, nurtured by stylists who are masters of artistic expression.
• Newton's Convenience and Quality: Positioned for maximum accessibility, our Newton location provides a complete spectrum of Aprils' signature services, ensuring high-quality hair care is available to everyone seeking excellence without compromise.
• **Seamless Transition:** We have ensured a smooth integration, retaining the welcoming atmosphere and core service standards that Moment clients have always cherished, now reinforced by Aprils' robust support, technology, and luxury product lines.

✂️ The Unified Artistry: Auckland's Most Skilled Stylists

The greatest asset of this acquisition is the immediate expansion and unification of our talent pool. The already established masters from Aprils have joined forces with the respected, seasoned professionals of the former Moment team. This combined group represents a depth of experience and breadth of expertise unparalleled in the Auckland region, particularly in the Grafton, Eden Terrace, and Newton triangle.

A Collective of Master Craftsmen and Women:

Comprehensive Expertise, Enhanced by Collaboration: Every Aprils stylist—whether long-standing or recently integrated from Moment—undergoes rigorous, continuous training. This ensures total proficiency across all modern and classic techniques. We don't just execute requests; we provide prescriptive solutions.

**Elevated Consultation: The Aprils & Moment Standard:** Both former teams shared a passion for the consultation process. Now unified, our stylists are truly diagnostic, taking the time to understand not just the desired style, but the client’s hair history, future goals, and daily maintenance reality. This in-depth partnership ensures the stunning result achieved in the chair is also sustainable at home.

Client Praise and Stylist Dedication:

The synergy between the teams is evident in the client feedback, which frequently highlights our stylists' dedication:

• Paige (Colour Specialist) is celebrated for her technical excellence, particularly in transformative services like Qiqi treatments and complex blonde work.
• Waleed (Precision Cutter), noted for his warm demeanor and consistently delivering sharp, long-lasting haircuts that perfectly suit the client's facial structure and lifestyle.
• Sharne (Editorial Stylist) and Lucy (Creative Colourist) represent the combined creative spirit, always pushing boundaries while maintaining the highest level of hair health and integrity, satisfying even the most discerning clients from the Auckland fashion scene.
• The former Moment team brought exceptional skills in creating personalised, low-maintenance "wash-and-wear" styles, a philosophy now infused across all Aprils locations in Grafton, Eden Terrace, and Newton.

**Investment in Talent:** The Aprils Group commitment to education means every stylist benefits from shared knowledge. Former Moment stylists now access the full Aprils training curriculum, while the wider Aprils team gains from Moment’s specialist techniques, particularly their meticulous approach to client mapping and design. This cross-pollination of skill is the core reason why clients can expect an even higher quality of service moving forward.

💰 Modern Convenience: Finance, Flexibility, and VIP Loyalty

We understand that world-class hair artistry is an investment. The integration of Moment into Aprils ensures that all clients now benefit from the financial flexibility and rewarding loyalty programs that are trademarks of the Aprils brand. We are committed to making beautiful hair accessible and stress-free.

Flexible Finance Options: Afterpay and Zip Pay
