Hair Salon for Queenstown Clients — UKIYO Wānaka
FROM QUEENSTOWN
The hair salon worth the 50-minute drive
We see Queenstown clients in our chair every week. They come for the quiet studio, salon-grade product and stylists who take their time over every consultation. The drive is 50 minutes through some of New Zealand's best scenery.
What Queenstown clients book
Most Queenstown clients come over for colour: first-time balayage from $335, maintenance from $285, or a cut and colour booked as one longer appointment. Every price is on our price list and confirmed at your free 15-minute consultation.
How to make the day easy
Book the morning slot, do your colour and lunch in Wānaka township (we'll send you to Big Fig or Federal Diner), pick up some haircare on the way out, drive home in afternoon light. Half-day excuse to leave Queenstown for a weekend.
The Wānaka difference
We're a small studio — six chairs, deliberately quiet, no walk-in chaos. Stylists who finish their consultations and don't rush. The kind of salon you go to once and tell two friends about.
Frequently asked
How long is the drive from Queenstown to Wānaka?
About 50 minutes via the Crown Range Road (the scenic route — recommended in good weather) or 1h10 via SH6. Plenty of parking on Helwick Street or the lakefront.
Can I do colour and a cut in one trip?
Yes — we always book that as one combined service. Plan for 3–4 hours total in salon. Plenty of time to grab lunch in town in between.
How much is balayage at UKIYO?
First-time balayage starts from $335, and a maintenance or full refresh from $285. Every price is on our price list and confirmed at your free 15-minute consultation.
