I had the pleasure of visiting Live & Let Dye salon in Mount Eden yesterday, for a colour appointment with Kirsty. It was my first visit to Live & Let Dye, and I am pleased to report that my experience was wonderful! I went in not really knowing what I wanted – which as I am sure you will have figured out by now is very unusual for me – and had a good chat to Kirsty and Michelle about what was important to me in terms of colour (low maintenance, because I’m a student and can’t afford to colour my hair as often as some looks require and something that will grow out okay without announcing to the world that I haven’t had my colour done in *ahem* five months).
You might think my hair naturally looks this fabulous, but no! It’s the magic of Kirsty at Live & Let Dye in Mount Eden, Auckland.
That’s right, I hadn’t coloured my hair in five months. Oh how my life has changed! The reason I decided to colour it again after so long is that I really like the way a fresh colour leaves my hair looking glossy and healthy.
Kirsty put a colour through my roots that is pretty similar to my natural colour, just a touch warmer. This will definitely help as my hair grows, because *fingers crossed* my natural colour is going to blend right in. She left in the blonde highlights that I had running through the lengths of my hair, and lightened up the rest of my hair a bit.
I’m loving how glossy and vibrant my hair looks – this is also thanks in part to the Davines products that Kirsty used on my hair. Live & Let Dye stocks Davines Essentials & Authentics ranges, natural & organically derived products that are NOT tested on animals. They are eco-friendly and believe in sustainability of the environment, with the whole Essentials range being carbon neutral. And they smell a-mazing!
I don’t look all that excited in this photo, but trust me, I am!
MY VERDICT:
Live & Let Dye is fabulous. Great staff, great service, great results! I can highly recommend Kirsty (especially her head massages – my whole body actually tingled afterward!) and I will definitely be back. Perhaps next time I’ll get out of my comfort zone and try balayage on for size…

Shh, it’s not that easy to take a photo of the back of your own head!

You are absolutely gorgeous, and so is your hair! I love the color, cut and style!
Thanks Sarah, this is a very very old hairdo though – my hair is now copper!
