Amy’s Hair and Beauty

"Kind of a unique perspective I suppose, but I’m a tall cis guy who’s been coming to Amy’s for my nails for about 2 years now and every single time they’ve been just so lovely and welcoming. I think you’d be hard pressed to find a kinder salon, for sure. So one thing I can definitely say is that if you’re not a cis woman and want to do your nails, the staff at Amy’s will likely be very nice to you! That’s worth a lot, I think. Admittedly, the quality can vary based on the experience of the technician, but I imagine that’s the case for any salon. And in Amy’s case she specifically makes opportunities for people to come from Vietnam to work and live here, to train up in a professional skill, which I personally think is really cool. I’m willing to accept a slightly imperfect nail job sometimes (especially at their prices) knowing that. After all, it’s just nails and they can always be redone or grow out. But 99% of the time they’re perfect, and no matter what my experience there is good. I would say that if you don’t have experience working with people whose first language isn’t English and are concerned about communication (for hair especially), just call ahead and ask if you can book with someone confident in English. They’ll set you up no problem. Oh they also have great hours later into the night after work, and accept walkins. Very convenient spot! Picture below is ~1 month from my last appt, SNS (dip) powder which I highly recommend for those who work with their hands or experience chipping with gels"

"I came here during their full body hot stone massage promotion- $50 for a whole hour! I had booked a two person massage so my gf and I did it at the same time. It was certainly money well spent. I was so relaxed, the service was lovely and even included complimentary tea afterwards which was such a thoughtful gesture. I would definitely come back again."

"Amazing service! Seriously, one of the best salons in Wellington. Amy's team is professional. I was served two delicious coffee. Phuong is my hairdresser, very polite and with good knowledge and skills cutting my hair and preparing for the permanent straightening. Result was unbelievable. Amy's salon offers range of service. I enjoyed my time and service that provides by them."

"Helen is amazing. So friendly and really good at what she does. I broke one of my nails a few days after getting it done and she completely fixed it up for me at no extra cost even though it was my fault. Thanks for the great service"

"i got my lashes permed @ this salon and after only an hour after the treatment my lashes went flat / more straight than they were before the treatment. The staff were nice, but they must've over processed my lashes because they look like I didn't just spend $75 on them to be lifted. I really hope I could get a refund because I need them done and if not here then somewhere else."
