Hair for good: Savvy Hair
This boutique hair salon at the foot of Cashmere Hills is the home of the South Island’s 2025 hairdresser of the year.
“Savvy Hair is a refined hair salon where beautiful hair meets conscious luxury,” says founder Sarah McGuigan, crowned South Island’s best hairdresser last year, with other awards finalists in her team.
At 5 Colombo Street, Savvy is something special – an eco-conscious salon Sarah’s been building for more than a decade, grounded in her environmentally-friendly beliefs. “We proudly use premium, clean, sustainable colour and haircare products, and operate as a completely sustainable salon – because exceptional hair should never come at the expense of the planet.”

With award-winning excellence, a reputable, returning clientele, and a charming fresh-feeling space, Savvy’s chairs have become the foundation for beautiful hair. “Our expert stylists specialise in exquisite colour, precision cutting, curly cutting and beautiful hair styling, offering every guest an individual, bespoke experience tailored entirely to you,” Sarah explains.
Sarah and her team are environmentally savvy, colour and cut savvy, and specialise in doing hair for good. Book your appointment through the website or call 03 942 417.
