Frequently Asked Questions | AMEE on Location

Question 1

Do you come to me for a haircut?

Accepted Answer

Yes — that is exactly how it works. I am a mobile hairdresser based in Christchurch and I come to your home or chosen location for every appointment, including precision haircuts, restyling, and blow waves. No salon visit needed.

Question 2

How much does a haircut cost in Christchurch?

Accepted Answer

Precision haircuts start from $65 and restyle appointments from $80. All services are on-location — I travel to you. A tailored quote is provided when you enquire.

Question 3

Can I add a shampoo and treatment to my haircut appointment?

Accepted Answer

Yes — a shampoo, nourishing treatment, and scalp massage can be added to any precision haircut or restyle appointment for $25. This is not available as a standalone service. I use Daily Naturals Clean Beauty products — their Everyday Balancing Shampoo and Moisture Mask. Daily Naturals is vegan and cruelty free, silicone free, and made with Native Australian Extracts. I use a mobile basin, so I'll need access to warm water and a hard flooring surface at your location.

Question 4

What is the difference between a precision haircut and a restyle?

Accepted Answer

A precision haircut refines and maintains your existing shape — ideal for regular appointments. A restyle is a more considered change of length, shape, or direction and includes time for a full consultation before we begin.

Question 5

Do you cater to neurodivergent clients or those who find the salon experience overwhelming?

Accepted Answer

Yes, absolutely. On-location appointments are naturally quieter and more relaxed than a busy salon environment, which many clients find makes a real difference. I'm happy to tailor the experience to suit your needs — whether that means a slower pace, minimal conversation, no mirrors, or anything else that helps you feel comfortable. A thorough consultation can be done at the enquiry stage so we can discuss your preferences before the appointment, and you're welcome to share as much or as little as feels right. There are no expectations here — just a calm, considered appointment in your own space.

Question 6

How do I enquire about an appointment?

Accepted Answer

You can get in touch by phone, email, or through the enquiry form below. Share your preferred date, location, and the service you have in mind and I'll come back to you with availability and a tailored quote.

Question 7

How can I pay?

Accepted Answer

Payment is accepted by credit card, direct debit, scan to pay, and cash. Invoices are sent via Hnry, making it quick and easy to pay in whichever way suits you best.

Question 8

Are you a destination wedding specialist?

Accepted Answer

Yes. I travel to wherever your wedding day takes you, up to 300 km from Christchurch. This includes beautiful destinations such as Akaroa, Banks Peninsula, Hanmer Springs, Kaikōura, Lake Brunner, Tekapo, Twizel, and the West Coast. Travel within 15 km of Christchurch central is complimentary. Beyond that, a travel charge of $1.50 per km one way applies and will be included in your quote.

Yes. AMEE on Location is designed around styling in the setting that suits your day, whether that is at home, a venue, or another agreed location.

Question 10

How far will you travel for a wedding?

Accepted Answer

I am able to travel up to 300 km for a wedding. This includes destinations such as Akaroa, Banks Peninsula, Hanmer Springs, Kaikōura, Lake Brunner, Tekapo, Twizel, and the West Coast. Travel within 15 km of Christchurch central is complimentary. Beyond that, a travel charge of $1.50 per km one way applies and will be included in your quote.

Question 11

What services can I book?

Accepted Answer

You can enquire about bridal styling, the Two Day Prep Package, event styling, precision haircuts, and wash and blowdry appointments.

Question 12

Can you work with hair extensions?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. AMEE is experienced working with all types of extensions — whether you're wearing clip-ins, tape-ins, wefts, or anything in between. Extensions can be incorporated into your styling for a seamless, polished finish. Simply mention them when you enquire so the appointment can be planned accordingly.

Question 13

How far in advance should I book?

Accepted Answer

For weddings and key event dates, it is best to enquire as early as you can. For other appointments, availability will depend on the date and location.

Question 14

What should I include in my enquiry?

Accepted Answer

Your date, location, preferred service, and any inspiration or details about the occasion are a helpful place to start.

Question 15

Can I book a trial before my wedding day?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Include this in your bridal enquiry and we can discuss a trial that gives you confidence in the final look.

Question 16

Do you style bridal parties as well as the bride?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Bridal party styling — bridesmaids, mother of the bride, and others — is planned around your full timeline. Share your party size when you enquire and I'll put together a schedule and quote.

Question 17

How far in advance should I book for a wedding?

Accepted Answer

As soon as you can — the earlier you get in touch, the better. That said, dates are still available for 2026 and into 2027 spring and summer, so if your date is coming up don't hesitate to reach out.

Question 18

Do you travel to wedding venues outside Christchurch central?

Accepted Answer

Yes. I travel up to 300 km, including destinations such as Akaroa, Banks Peninsula, Hanmer Springs, Kaikōura, Lake Brunner, Tekapo, Twizel, and the West Coast. A travel charge of $1.50 per km one way applies to all travel beyond 15 km of Christchurch central and will be included in your quote.

Question 19

What is the Two Day Prep Package?

Accepted Answer

The Two Day Prep Package is a considered alternative to a very early start on your wedding morning. The day before your wedding, I come to your home — or wherever you and your party are staying — to prep and set everyone's hair at a relaxed pace. This typically involves product preparation and curl sets using tongs or GHD. You won't be in rollers all day — the aim is thoughtful preparation that works around your schedule, so your wedding morning feels calm and unhurried. Pricing is POA — get in touch to discuss how it can be tailored to your wedding weekend.

A little clarity before your appointment.

The details, considered.
