I am incredibly excited about Mana Dave, Kate Smith, and the team at Blaze’s new hair enterprise in Newmarket. Called ‘Pony Professionnel by Mana Dave,’ the shop will stock the best hair products and the hair-spa will do ‘spa experiences’ for hair.

Pony Professionnel by Mana Dave opens on 11th October, and joins their Blaze salon on Broadway Newmarket. They previously had a Pony Express blowdry bar inside Glassons on Broadway before incorporating that into the Blaze salon.

Hair brands available at Pony Professionnel will include Kerastase, L?Oreal, Pureology, Redken, Matrix, Biolage, Phylia de M (exclusive to Pony Professionnel), Moroccanoil, Davines, Kevin Murphy, Sebastian, ghd and Sans. The spa treatmenrs include premium Kerastase spa treatments for hair ($87 – $185 for two hours) as well as express dry-style and blow-dry services from $40.

“After creating Blaze I wanted to go on and create the concept of ?everything for healthy hair?, a relaxed environment where every specialist hair product was available, and where my clients could receive the best product advice and pampering without us ever being intrusive. Then add to this the affordable indulgence of hair spa treatments; this was a perfect combination” says Mana.

So if you want to pamper your hair, head into Pony Professionnel, 290b Broadway, Newmarket opposite Morrow Street. For more info see www.ponyprofessionnel.co.nz and email newmarket@ponyprofessionnel.co.nz or phone (09) 520 5086.
