I was getting my hair done today by the lovely Jamie, when a new client walked in, the new client was extremely rude towards Jamie and kept interrupting us talking, the last time she interrupted us she asked how much longer she was going to be and Jamie said 5mins as she was just blowdrying my hair cause I told Jamie just to keep my hair wet because of the client being rude and making me feel uncomfortable, the lady stormed out the door about 5 minutes later , slamming it behind her and said she was going to leave a bad review, as she had to wait an extra half hour after the time Jamie texted her saying to come due to running behind today.
Jamie was excellent as she always is, really professional with the situation that happened, and she’s really lovely and does an amazing job every time, after the lady left Jamie nicely finished off my hair, straightened it and did an incredible job with it!! Really happy with her services yet again, would highly recommend to anyone looking for a new salon!!

Absolutely amazing experience! My daughter is usually quite nervous when it comes to getting her hair done, but she felt so comfortable and relaxed here. Jamie was incredibly patient, gentle and understanding, and took the time to make sure she was happy throughout.

Her hair looks absolutely beautiful, and she was so proud of it when we left! ❤️ The attention to detail was fantastic, and the whole experience was so lovely. We couldn’t be happier with the result and will definitely be coming back. Highly recommend! ✨

First time visiting Sole Hair Boutique, Jamie was great and did an excellent cut. Will be back in future.

I chose Jamie based on her great reviews, and although I knew I was taking a bit of a chance, I’m so glad I did! From the moment I walked into her ‘sole’ salon, Jamie made me feel welcome. She is genuinely lovely and took the time to listen carefully, making sure I felt heard, understood, and confident in the process. I’ve now visited twice, and both times I’ve been absolutely pleased with the results. I’m not the easiest client as my hair needs are quite complex - but Jamie really knows her craft. She is incredibly talented, highly knowledgeable, and goes above and beyond to make sure you leave feeling happy with your hair. Another huge bonus is that Jamie does everything herself. You’re not passed from one person to another for colouring, washing, and styling. Having one person do it all makes such a difference and gives a real sense of continuity and care. I drive from Lower Hutt and it is completely worth the trip. I’m so glad to have found a little bit of ‘sole’.

I find it rare to walk out of a hairdresser and not go immediately home and restyle or try fix bits up myself but Jamie nailed it. She is a very talented hairdresser and bonus her salon has such a welcoming, relaxed vibe. Highly recommend.
