"Blue Cactus have an absolutely amazing, professional and friendly team. My stylist is AWESOME! She knows what will look great and I trust her 100% when she reccommends something. Awesome team!"
-Nadia Williams
"Dear Larissa
You should be so utterly proud of your staff, I have never in my 50 years been to a salon where the girls don’t bitch or say negative things, they are always so friendly, hardworking, professional, kind to me and I feel very at ease and not stressed when I am in your Salon. In fact in the short time I have been going to your Salon (possibly a couple of years) your staff have always spoken highly of you and the training etc that goes on behind the scenes.
I love your finer touches of menus, not looking in a mirror, magazines, lovely cups of coffee, tea etc etc.
Take a huge pat on the back, maybe one day I will meet you, but thank you so much for the wonderful service. Good service is rare to find these days.
And of course beautiful Alison (I will miss her so much when she leaves) and all the other girls, there are so many I can’t mention them all."

"The first 24 reasons to love BC are the girls that work there! To put it simply, the Blue Cactus team is to hairdressing, what Versace is to Fashion!
After having a terrible hair experience, it took me 18 months to walk in to a hair salon. But after meeting my stylist, who understood my fear and made me feel so comfortable with getting my hair done again, 2 hours later, I walked out a happy new woman! There is nothing greater than going to the salon, feeling like part of the family, and walking out looking like you were off to star in a Vogue shoot! Their skills and creativity are second to none. If you dont have a clue what you want, then they will provide you with some stunning new-do suggestions!
To sum it up, If anyone is looking for an amazing hair salon, with a fashion forward team & want to come out looking incredible and having everyone asking where you got your hair done then look no further! (If that doesn’t sell it to you.. then check out Larissa's guarantee on the website!)"

"I love Blue Cactus because the people are amazing they care about their clients and how their hair looks. The people at Blue Cactus care how you feel about your hair and how you feel with the new cut and look you have. I have a great relationship with my hair stylist because she cares about me and loves how my hair looks. I would recommend Blue Cactus to anyone because I feel great when I leave ever time."
-Amy Craig
"Why I love blue Cactus? Because they are the ONLY salon I have been to where I can COMPLETLY trust each and every member of their staff - especially my stylist. The talent I have seen there is AMAZING! and I struggle to go anywhere else. Blue Cactus is the only place I can go without feeling utterly nervous. Being a student makes it hard to keep up with having my hair done, but I go without for a while and save just so I can go back to Blue Cactus. XXX L-O-V-E so...see you soon! YAY!"
-Lana Symonds
"I love Blue Cactus because all the girls in there are super friendly and warm, very accommodating and always dressed super styley, upmarket and well presented. I think BC keeps up with the most modern trends and their training days evidences that. If there is a new style in the world-you can trust BC to nail it over any other Hairdresser.
I trust what they do and they do it with excellence and charisma. Being a mother of two-stepping out of BC makes me feel like a whole new woman-a great way to splurge, indulge and feel beautiful again...I thank you for that!! *sniff, sniff* I ALWAYS reccommend BC to everyone I know."
-Bex Tschurtschenthaler
"I love Blue Cactus because I know that I will leave my appointment not only feeling relaxed & pampered & having caught up with all the salon news (usually of the baby variety) but also with an amazing cut & colour that was what I asked for - but even better due to the skills, experience & honesty of the stylists & colourists. I compl etely trust my stylist to give me a style that'll I'll be over the moon with even when I'm being unhelpful & boring "just a trim please" and I'm stoked that we are not just client & hairdresser but friends too. My only 'complaint' is that my wonderful colourists over the years (most recently Jasmin) grow up & become stylists and I miss out on having them do my colour"
-Angela Chisnall-Abbott
"Blue Cactus is more than just a Hairdressing Salon. They give excellent service with a smile, and always ensure you have a drink. How many salons do that! Also, my stylist has become a close friend, and been there through my ups and downs. Always willing to listen, but also makes me feel like a million dollars when I leave the Salon. Could never go anywhere else as the trust has been built up and nobody could do my hair as good. Way to go Blue Cactus. You are the best in NZ to me."
-Marika Roberts
"I LOVE Blue Cactus because you're mind readers. I walk in and you ask me how I'm feeling about my hair, I give you some vague comments about this and that and I always walk out with a haircut I love. I LOVE Blue Cactus because you challenge me to do new things and remember things we've tried in the past. I LOVE Blue Cactus because you ... give me haircuts that earn me complements from strangers. Mostly, I LOVE Blue Cactus because I trust you. I trust you enough to let Kerri colour my blonde hair red and cut it super short. I trusted you because I knew that that it would be different but it would still be hot because making the customer feel good is always your focus."
-Anna Gulbransen
"I have loved Blue Cactus for a long time and consider myself to be a huge fan! Blue Cactus is a total experience that just seems to get better - I always feel so welcome, and I get treated like I am really important. My hair looks and feels amazing after my stylist has worked her magic! I love the buzz in the salon and it is evident this isn't just a business. And I travel from Christchurch to get this 'cos nothing else comes close ...."
-Suzanne Smith
"I love Blue Cactus because I NEVER have to worry. My stylist will always do what we talk about and I am never nervous or never have that OMG feeling when I wake up the next morning and look in the mirror. She has looked after my daughter through chlorine overdose and a chemical hair cut and the resulting baldness!! Thank you Blue Cactus for going the extra mile, always being on time, never feeling rushed and making me feel special."
-Mary Wootton
"I love Blue Cactus because you transformed my train-wreck head of hair into something amazing - from drab to fab! The cut was THE best I have ever had, and the colour was so beautiful and stunning, that I felt like I was born to have that colour. You guys topped off an amazing makeover with Samantha Hannah, and each of the staff were so lovely and friendly. Just an amazing experience. I would recommend you to anybody! Love Love Love it!"
-Natasha Billings
"I had to write to let you know what an amazing job my stylist did on my hair last night!!!
It took longer than any previous salon experience I have had at Blue Cactus or elsewhere, but upon seeing the results, I can see where the time was spent.
It is phenomenal! Her attention to detail and superior knowledge of color is second to none! I have NEVER been so happy with a stylist before anywhere!! She literally got the color perfect!
I am sure that you will know this already, but she is a huge asset to your team!"
-Willow.
"I had a cut and foils done with Emma. She was superb - listened to me, explained everything really well and just made the whole experience a real pamper session. Top job - will definitely be back. Emma read me exactly and I'm so happy with the result.
The salon appears to be crazy busy all the time yet the girls still manage to make it seem like it all revolves around me and they have all the time in the world to focus on me."
"Staff were so warm and friendly and used their knowledge to help me decide what type of cut I wanted. They were very knowledgable and helpful and seemed to really know what they were talking about.
Great service - keep it up!"
"I just want to say how wonderful my stylist is! From the moment I met her, and talked about what style I was after, I felt that she listened, and knew exactly what I wanted, and also what would suit me. I now trust her judgement so totally that I just agree when she makes suggestions about cut, colour, etc, and she's right every time. She's also absolutely lovely, and a real pleasure to talk to.
I love my experience at Blue Cactus. Having been to previous salons where I was almost invisiblel to the staff, I love it when my stylist or colourist excuses themselves when another staff member needs to speak to them. It's such a simple display of good manners, but so important and very much appreciated. From the moment I walk in the door, to the moment I leave, I'm taken care of in a warm, friendly manner. The only thing that could possibly make the experience more enjoyable (after a crazy busy day) would be a glass of wine. Shame you'd need a liquor license to supply that, but a girl can dream! Anyway, whatever you're doing, keep doing it. You guys rock!"
"I was going to email you to say what a wonderful experience I'd had on Saturday (3rd Jan). It was my first time at Blue Cactus (having been out of Wgtn for a few years) and I normally hate getting my hair cut - it's never "right", colour is awful etc etc. I saw Kirsty and she was lovely, did a great consultation to explore what I wanted and suggested a slight lightening in colour (less harsh) and was really helpful with tones for highlights etc. Fabulous and I can't wait for the next 6 weeks to go past so I can come in again. (If you knew me and haircuts you would know this is extraordinary). Thank you.
You even had Mocha's on your drinks menu - how did you know ??"
-Fiona
"Hi
Well I received great comments last night and this morning regarding my hair. I am so pleased that now when I go to Blue Cactus I have a range of hairdressers that I am comfortable working on my hair (Sonya, Amy & Adele). And we all know how scary it is getting a new stylist.
I have been going to Blue Cactus for years, stopped for a while and found my way back after advising a friend to go and her hair was wonderful. We had a girl’s afternoon with you all, sent another friend with curly hair to Adele (fantastic job) and now another friend is going tonight Daksha.
But the best was as a group being recognised for sending friends, the lovely gift card from you. My girlfriends (Kirsty/Janine) were so pleased and we are now trying to organise another girls afternoon. BIG BIG THANK YOU"
-Sandy
"I recently went to Blue Cactus to have a Pixilist ritual and colour (done by Michelle and Cushla) and wanted to pass on my praise to you of these two lovely ladies. Michelle is an excellent colourist as you know and gave me the best colour I've had in a very long time - Cushla did my ritual and it was bliss.
I just wanted to let you know as I was just really impressed - and the salon is beautiful. I've already booked in with Michelle for the new year!"

Hi Kirsty,
I just wanted to drop you a quick note and say thank you so much to you and the girls for organizing such a wonderful hair and make up experience. We had an absolute blast and the team on Saturday morning were sensational! (both at Blue Cactus and Bobby Brown's). I especially want to thank Corrine who did a flawless job on my hair and I had so many compliments - it required no attention for the whole day (except minor clippings post photos after Wellington's breeze).
We had great support, great company and Wellington turned on the weather to make it a perfect day from start to finish - thank you so much for being part of it and for taking all the stress out of organizing an overseas wedding.
Best wishes to you and your team.
Cath
