"I had the most amazing first time at Common Thread with the lovely Samantha. I had a cut and colour. Samantha created a beautiful soft caramel balayage. I am absolutely in love with my new look. Thank you so much."

"Salon is beautiful & Alice was amazing - absolutely love my hair thank you xx"

Well worth the drive from Tamahere. Love my fresh new cut. Thanks so much Tracy.

"I can’t recommend this group of experienced, talented, and, importantly, unpretentious women enough. Tracy and her team made me feel understood in terms of my hair aspirations, lifestyle, and made suggestions where I felt lost! Ashlee cut & coloured my hair, and I left the salon feeling like a new, better version of me."

For context, I am a mom with two kids under 5. I have experienced all the postpartum changes to my face, body, and hair (including thinning hair, bursts of grey, and a new texture that I didn't know what to do with), and I haven't done much in the way of self-care. I booked a transformation hair cut with Tracy and TRANSFORMATION is what I got! I never knew the right haircut could actually make me look 10 years younger and hot again! Ladies, I'm telling you I look good! I've received so many 'wow' looks and double takes. (not that it matters) But it helps! The thing is, a good haircut does matter. And Tracy took care of me. From the consultation to the hair wash and the thoughtful approach to her craft, it is all worth it. I will be going back every single time now. The best thing about my haircut is that whether I'm wearing it up in a mom bun or down, I still look sexy and like I put some care into an effortless look. I've added photos to show the before and after of my mom bun to what I've got now, which is wow! Also, the after photos were taken a week after the cut to show how well it looks after the initial salon styling. I think a good test is what your hair looks like days after the initial cut and blowout, when the natural texture shines through. I honestly love how this cut works and looks with my hair's natural texture a week after the cut. Thank you, Tracy.

"I had the most amazing time at Common Thread. From the excellent team, to the delicious range of complimentary drinks, and the overall luxurious, chic vibe! Thank you, Tracy, for being so welcoming, and thank you, Samantha, for nailing my creamy blonde hair goals."

"There is no better salon than Common Thread. It doesn't matter which stylist you are with - they are all incredibly talented and absolutely awesome people. I have been going to Common Thread since the beginning, but I moved to the Shore a few years ago. After searching for a great stylist over here, I have returned to the incredible team at Common Thread. It is absolutely worth the trip. I'm growing out of my grey and needed a major style update. Virginia did the most fantastic job. I absolutely love it and have had so many great comments. Can't wait for the next appointment!"

"Beautiful salon. I booked in with Alice and had a great experience. She is friendly, kind, and talented. It's the first time I felt like a stylist truly partnered with me. She listened and took in my inspiration pictures, then shared her expertise on what would work best for me, considering my lifestyle, hair type, face shape, and more. Alice worked her magic and blended my hair so well. I came away with a transformation that I love."
