BKT Nanoplasty
Nanoplasty Hair Treatment: Smoother, Straighter, Healthier Hair for Up to 6 Months
Nanoplasty does more than smooth. This long-lasting hair treatment keeps hair smooth, sleek, and frizz-free for up to 6 months while deeply nourishing every strand. Its formula is enriched with amino acids and collagen that penetrate deep into the hair fibre to strengthen, repair, and restore it from within. The result is softer, shinier, more manageable hair that looks and feels healthier with every wash.
Eco-Friendly Hair Salon: Proud Partners of Sustainable Salons
At Bellisima Hair, we're proud to be a Sustainable Salons partner. This initiative helps us cut salon waste, repurpose resources, and give back to local communities. We recycle hair clippings, foils, colour tubes, and more, so every cut and colour you book with us helps build a greener future for the beauty industry. Choose an eco-conscious salon where beauty has a purpose.
Meet Holly
Holly Pemberton
Director & Executive Stylist
Vivacious, simpatico and glamorous…in a quirky kind of way
I have thrived on creating an individual look for my clients, making the most of each one’s lifestyle and personality. I love caring for my clients and making sure we are like-minded about the look we want to achieve.
I consistently upskill and seek out new products to offer the highest and most current level of hairdressing.
I offer individual service from basin to blow wave, ensuring each client leaves feeling fabulous.
My signature is precision cutting, timeless colour techniques, and red-carpet-worthy finishing. Haircuts that hold their shape and still look good until your next appointment in six weeks to three months’ time.
My poppa used to say no one ever regretted paying for quality.
Client Testimonials
Our Community
At Bellissima Hair, a sustainable salon in central Dunedin, we believe hairdressing is about more than beautiful, healthy hair. It's about being part of the community we call home.
We volunteer our skills at events that restore confidence, connection and dignity across Ōtepoti Dunedin. Holly is a founding stylist and organising committee member of Dunedin Free Haircuts & Services for Those in Need, which held its second event in 2026.
Year-round, our Bellissima Head Start Initiative gives people re-entering the workforce a professional haircut and the confidence to make a great first impression.
For us, community care is a natural part of sustainable hairdressing: caring for people, our community, and the environment, one haircut at a time.
