I thoroughly enjoyed my haircut with Te

I ended up thoroughly enjoying my haircut yesterday with Te. Te talked me through her ideas, put no pressure on me at all and we ended up with a result that made me feel good about myself and the process. I appreciate her consideration and her skill. The fact that she’d been thinking about the approach and my needs even before I got there speaks volumes about her approach to what she does.

I never realised how a haircut can make you feel.

Thank you to her and the team.

I'm very happy and feel so confident

I am thoroughly happy with the hair treatment I received yesterday!

Sarah did an amazing job with the colour, giving me a result that fixed all the concerns I had with my hair. I find it difficult to find a hairdresser that I trust, and as a result have been around several in town trying to find ‘the one’. I’m very happy and feel so confident with this treatment that I will definitely return.

The whole service great, from greeting to colour to shampoo, all the staff are so attentive and friendly.

I look forward to my next visit!

Elle was terrific - my eyes looks lovely

So many thanks yet again Buoy for the fabulous treatment. The loyal, heartfelt gratitude however is for how Buoy cultivates people skills; Elle (Senior Spa Therapist) was terrific. And particular credit to the Buoy Managers for keeping this culture so well over such a long period.

Chinney did a fabulous job

Although i'm a life member of Buoy and always love your work, thought I would give some feedback! Chinney did a fabulous job of my Colour, and giving a bit of playful pink for me to go away with, was very cool! Great head massage, lovely way with people.

I'm so happy with my result from Sarah

I am so grateful to you for having such wonderful staff, all of the other hairdressers working today smiled at me, your reception person was so lovely too. It really makes all the difference when you have a wonderful team like you do. I won't make the mistake of going elsewhere in future and feel so happy to have found the salon.

So clear and concise.... no room for misunderstandings

Sarah is a breath of fresh air. She is so warm, friendly and talented and her communication with me every single step of the way today left me in absolutely no doubt with what she was doing to my hair and what I would end up with at the end of my appointment. I loved how I signed something agreeing that it would take a few appointments to 'fix' my hair and the result today was just going be a part of that process. She was so clear and concise explaining everything to me there was no room at all for misunderstanding and I am so happy with the result. I love it.

Every time I come in I have a consistently great experience

I had a Cut, Colour and Blow Wave yesterday with Vicki and I’m really happy with it. She did a fab job.

I’ve been coming to Buoy for nearly 10 years and I have had various stylists but it says a lot about your team culture that every time I come in have a consistently great experience. I have very thick and tricky hair so it’s definitely not for amateurs!!

Also Eddie is wonderful and I appreciate his warm welcome.

Clients always come first

Vicki has cut my hair since coming to Buoy two years ago. She always shows such a genuine interest and concern for how my hairstyle is.

What a treat that is to any women’s self esteem. Vicki has a gift and genuine passion for her career and her clients always come first.

I wouldn't go to anyone else

I know in my game of real estate the confidence is the ultimate test of client loyalty - I wouldn’t go to anyone else.

Service was great from beginning to end

Very good to see Derek back in the salon. I came away with a great haircut as well as enjoying our conversation.

Service was great from beginning to end - the warmth of the meeting/greeting at reception, the coffee, through to the person who washed my hair, and the great cut by Derek. Other staff from the Spa passing by the seating area are always friendly in a professional way.

I'll look forward to my next visit.

A lovely team

I had a wedding hair and make up trial in the weekend and I wanted to feedback because it was fantastic! Tahni and Courtney were professional and helpful and totally put me at ease. I turned up pretty nervous and overwhelmed by the fact that I'm getting married in 2 weeks but left feeling more relaxed and totally looked after.

I'm looking forward to spending my wedding morning with them again and am very grateful for the complimentary facial I've booked in for the day before.

Cannot wait to have my hair done again

I was so impressed by how my consultation with Mathias went. I only went to Buoy because I am trying to look for a credible and good colourist for my hair since I do not know much here in Wellington.

When I arrived at the salon, I was on my teacher work clothes but nobody treated like I was a nobody (which I am). Nobody gave me condescending looks or whatsoever. Mathias was so patient with my questions and explained thoroughly the plan for my hair. It was only when I got home that I learnt that I was talking to a very well-known and sought-after hairstylist!

I could not believe it! I was so impressed and I cannot wait to have my hair done again. Very professional and non-judgmental people. I really do appreciate that.

Superbly skilled and delightful people.

Another outstanding cut from Michael, looking forward to a fab colour with Wei and- hooray! - Eddie's back. So great to have his warm and vibrant personality back in the salon. All Buoy staff are fab from my experience, both superbly skilled and delightful people, creating a very happy ambience for their clients.

You guys are amazing...

I decided to change up my hairdresser this year and saw a recommendation for you guys on Facebook. After looking around your website I picked Tahni to do my cut and Mathias to do my colour. I have honestly never had better hairdressers... so great- friendly, welcoming and really nailed exactly what I had asked for, well and truly exceeding my expectations! I'll be recommending your salon to anyone who will listen.

The welcoming face of Buoy

A special word about Eddie: What a wonderful young man. He lights up the salon and makes me feel glad to know him and welcome, even when I go in just to say "hi". As an elderly client, I always feel glad that this wonderful young man is genuine, not judgmental or "ageist", and really does present the welcoming face of Buoy.
