Licences and rules

Hairdressers and barbers in New Zealand no longer need to register their premises or have council inspections, according to Auckland Council guidance. There are no specific legal requirements to practise hair extension application, but training is still essential. A salon that plays music for clients needs a OneMusic licence, which covers music played in the salon.

Choosing a method and strand count

Say whether this is a first fitting or a correction, so the fitter can plan the time. Ask for the number of strands and the length in centimetres, and whether the hair is your own or supplied by the fitter. Some suppliers ship across New Zealand, but the fitting itself is done in a salon.

Season and booking

Summer runs from December to February, and many people book around Christmas and summer events, so a date booked in late November leaves more choice. Ask each fitter which area they cover. Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch, Hamilton and Tauranga are the main centres for this request.

What to write in your request

Say what you want fitted (number of strands and length in cm), the hair type and colour, and whether it is your own hair. Mention the date and time, your district and your budget. This lets a fitter quote the right price in one reply.

On BlaBlaPrice you describe the appointment in a chat, and fitters registered there reply with their price, date and availability. Your contact details stay hidden until you choose to share them.
