Kess Express

Kess Express is the compact format of Kess Hair and Beauty, a New Zealand chain running around 26 salons since 2004. Only four Express sites exist, and Manurewa is one of them, at Unit 7.

The service list is broad for a shop this size: cuts and styling, colour including balayage, foils and ombré, keratin smoothing, waxing, eyebrow threading and tinting, microblading, henna, facials, lash tinting, massage and piercings. Threading starts around $5. The chain advertises senior stylists only, no public holiday surcharge and walk-ins welcome, and Afterpay is available.
