2. The Hive Salon


Premium international products & no hard-selling


Salon appointments should be relaxing, but we all dread dealing with pushy staff shoving packages down our throats. Founded by 27-year-old Fera, The Hive Salon is having none of that, as they operate on a no-hard-sell policy. Plus, despite using premium products such as Milbon from Japan for colouring and rebonding and organic Freecia hair colour from Canada, their prices are kept competitive.


They also specialise in white hair coverage, and for using colouring products that are organic and low in ammonia to minimise damage.
