Services that go beyond

The Experience

A hair appointment at Bellissima is about more than a colour or cut; it's an Experience Beyond the Mirror, which gives the client an allure that is unique to them and the satisfaction of knowing the products and practices are sustainable and environmentally sensitive.

Your Journey begins Here - The Consult

At Bellissima Hair, your first consultation is an integral start to your experience, it is the time we use to get to know you, your lifestyle, your needs and wants with your hair, without compromising the time for the service. This can be done as a one off 30 minute appointment  OR  the consultation can included in your first cut appointment. 

All new colour clients are required to book a colour consultation to allow for a strand test and test patch a minimum of 48 hours prior to your colour service.

Sustainable Salons

Bellissima has a beautiful partnership with Sustainable Salons,  the Australian company creating a world where sustainability is not just a buzzword, but a reality; one where both people and the planet can profit. 

For being part of the Sustainable Salons network, a small $3 Green Fee will be added to your bill at the end of every service. It may not sound like much, but small contributions pack a serious punch! This $3 goes towards the collection and processing of our waste products, and Sustainable Salons partnership with KiwiHarvest (which combats food waste and helps feed families in need).

Featured Service - Nanoplasty

Experience the latest sensation sweeping New Zealand and Australia—Nanoplasty (Nanoplastia)  

This groundbreaking hair restoration treatment is a fantastic alternative to keratin treatments, offering a more organic formula that delivers the same, if not better, results by permanently straightening and smoothing your hair. 

BKT nanoplasty is free from harsh chemicals and formaldehyde. The results can last up to 5-6 months, or until your hair grows out, without the unpleasant smell or burning sensation often associated with other treatments.Not only does Nanoplasty straighten your hair, but it also deeply nourishes it, leaving it looking healthy and silky. The formula is rich in amino acids and collagen, which penetrate deep into the hair at the cellular level, strengthening and healing your hair from within.

About Us

Holly Pemberton

Director & Your 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 up-skill 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 walks out feeling fabulous.

My signature precision cutting with timeless beautiful colour techniques and red carpet-worthy finishing holds its shape and still looks good until your next appointment in six weeks to three months’ time.

My poppa used to say no one ever regretted paying for quality.
