BLUNT EDITION SALON

Welcome to Blunt Edition, an Auckland hair salon on Cross Street behind K Road, where hairdressing is treated as an art form. Our team of expert stylists and colourists specialise in precision cutting, balayage, blonde transformations and creative colour. All crafted with the same care whether you're after a bold change or a subtle refresh.

Every Blunt Edition stylist works as an independent artist within the salon, so you get individual expertise across cutting, colouring, blondes, balayage and keratin smoothing treatments, backed by decades of combined industry experience. We also have make up artists, brow specialists and barbers as part of our artist team. Whether you're searching for an Auckland hairdresser, a balayage specialist, or a colourist who can nail the perfect blonde, our salon on Cross Street is here to help.

Blunt Edition also offers chair rental for hairdressers — a supportive, creative space for talented freelance stylists to grow their own business. Explore chair rental or book with one of our artists today.
