About Us

Essential Hair Boutique began in Feb of 2007. After travelling around the world and seeing stunning hair extension salons, we decided to bring that back to the New Zealand marketplace, providing quality 100% human 'euro' hair extensions. Gone is the idea that extensions aren't safe and damage the natural hair. We have created a business where YOU can achieve beautiful long Hair Extensions with an state of the art Cut and Colour service to match and complete the 'Celebrity Hair Look'. At Essential Hair Boutique, we don't just apply hair extensions, we maintain them, giving each one of our clients great long term wear. We also educate our clients on hair extensions and promote the right hair care products to maintain longevity of our client's new hair.We have many clients that travel to see us from all over New Zealand, because of our excellence and skill in hair extensions.
