Being a busy mum of two, I absolutely love when it comes time for my hair to be done at The Florence Society for a wee time out for myself!  The girls are all so friendly and genuinely interested in conversation with you. The salon itself has the most amazing vibes and the energy the girls have for their work is phenomenal. I have personally been getting my hair done by Alisha for as long as I can remember and every time she does a flawless job! I love knowing my hair is in capable hands and I ALWAYS walk out loving it!!

Well where do I even start!? Alisha has created such a beautiful space where every detail has been considered, from the decor to the service and most importantly the team. When you go in for a service, whether that be a blow dry or colour The Florence Society girls are incredibly welcoming and supportive. You don’t just get who you’re booked in with, they are a package deal which I believe enhances the experience and sets the salon apart from other hairdressers. Don’t even get me started on the exquisite care and attention they take to producing bomb colours and styles! Nails the brief every.damn.time! You can always guarantee the vibes will be high and you will leave feeling wholesome and leave beautiful hair!

I’ve just moved to Invercargill and was told about The Florence Society! I booked a colour and cut with Rahera, I could not be happier! My experience went above and beyond what I expected. A pain free experience, the nicest girls in the salon, and the best results I’ve ever had!! As soon as I walked into the salon I felt welcomed and when explaining what I was hoping for, I felt listened to and feel as though I got exactly what I asked for and more! Could not recommend enough. Will be booking in again!
