Redcliffs · Christchurch · Est. 2018
Cape Town craft, Canterbury chair.
Carolyn runs one chair out of Black Suede House of Hair on Main Road. By appointment. No rush.
✦ Ask for Carolyn at reception
Most salons give you a chair and whoever's free. Babalon gives you Carolyn — the same stylist every visit, who already knows your hair.
Same stylist.
No rotation. No 'your regular is away today'. Carolyn knows your hair because she's the only one who's touched it.
Cape Town trained.
Two decades of New Zealand hair, built on a Cape Town foundation. She brought the craft. She's been sharpening it ever since.
No hidden costs.
Pricing is on Timely before you book. No quote when you sit down, no upsell at the basin. What it says is what you pay.
Proper time.
Foils take as long as foils take. The Works is four hours because four hours is what it needs. No one is rushing you out.
Cuts, colour, The Works.
Eight services. Foils, balayage, colour, cuts, men's, treatments, keratin — and The Works, a full afternoon. Book on Timely, pricing's all there.
