Real reviews from real people at Kess Hair & Beauty Porirua
"Amazing job !!"
"Mak is absolutely awesome! Listens to what I ask for and checks in during the process. I’m leaving the salon a very happy person today - thank you Mac. 🖤 Love this salon, always very welcoming."
"Got a full facial wax yesterday. I knew something wasn’t right because it was more painful than what i was used to. It wasnt obvious at the salon but Came home and saw raw parts around my mouth, lady..."
"If I could give a 0 I would! I went to these guys for a wash, blow dry and straighten and went in twice. The first time they were all talking to each other, the lady doing my hair was too busy talking..."
"Awful service and technique. Felt and looked like it was her first time cutting hair. Very rough and tried to make me pay more than we agreed on. Do not recommend."
"Been coming here for years and never been disappointed. Love the results every time."
