Hastings CBD
WestSide
Seven grooming specialists within four blocks. Barber. Lashes and nails. Hair salon. Beauty and massage. Brow and beauty. Professional haircare. Lingerie fitting. WestSide has the full stack — and most people only know one or two of them.
Heretaunga Street West · WestSide Hastings
There is a version of looking good that requires a lot of planning. Research. Appointments weeks out. A drive across town. A parking situation. WestSide removes all of that. The full grooming stack is here — barber, lashes, nails, hair, massage, beauty, brows — within four blocks, seven days a week, at prices that don't require a conversation with your bank manager first.
Here's who's on the strip.
Freshy Barber Shop · 354 Heretaunga St West
Self-described as the best barber in WestSide. At 354 Heretaunga Street West. Seven days a week, 8am to 6pm. Good quality cuts at reasonable prices for all ages of men. The motive, as stated: groomed to perfection.
No appointment required. No mystery pricing. The menu is clear and the cuts are consistent. From a $15 zero all over to a $50 razor fade — everything in between is on the board and the price is the price. Fades stay the same rate regardless of age. Senior citizens get the same respect as everyone else.
One note from the barber: if you're curious about what a cut will cost before you sit down, just ask. Prices may vary on some styles — but fades are fixed. Confirm before you start if you want certainty. Reasonable request.
Lien Lashes & Nails Beauty · 301 Heretaunga St West
Founded in 2023. First branch at 301 Heretaunga Street West, right here on WestSide. Second location at 321 Gloucester Street, Taradale. The community support came fast enough that a second salon made sense before the first had finished its second year.
The services: nails and nail art, eyelash extensions, waxing, hot stone massage, head spa. A full beauty offering from a team that has built its reputation on technique and warmth rather than hard selling. The reviews reflect that — consistently five stars, clients who come back, and word of mouth that outpaces any advertising.
Nails & nail art design · Eyelash extensions · Waxing · Hot stone massage · Relaxing head spa. Two locations — WestSide Hastings and Taradale, Napier. Skilled technicians, warm service, salons designed for comfort and calm.
The story behind Lien Lashes is a simple one. A passion for beauty and a belief that clients deserve to feel genuinely cared for — not processed through a service. That belief is visible in how they work. It's the kind of salon that earns loyalty rather than just bookings.
Mphosis Hair · 220 Queen St
Mphosis Hair at 220 Queen Street keeps detailed records of your previous styles. That's the detail that matters. You don't explain yourself every time. You don't describe the cut from memory while the stylist nods uncertainly. They already know. Precision cuts and colour, consistently delivered, from a team who actually pay attention.
Tuesday and Thursday evenings until 8pm. Good if your week gets away from you before Friday.
Urban Retreat · 241 Heretaunga St West
241 Heretaunga Street West. Hair, massage, makeup, cuts, colour — the full beauty and hair offering in one salon. 4.8 stars across 96 reviews. A polished, professional environment where the team consistently delivers above and beyond. Tuesday evenings until 8pm for those who need it after work.
Anna's Beauty Lounge · 333 Heretaunga St West
Anna's Beauty Lounge at 333 HSW runs a 5.0 star rating. Not 4.9. Five. Manicures, pedicures, nail art — a warm, inclusive space where clients keep coming back. Anna invests in training local youth, creating real pathways in the beauty industry rather than just hiring experience. That instinct shows in how the place feels.
Shampoo Plus · 209 Heretaunga St West
209 Heretaunga Street West. Professional haircare products for home use — the kind of range you'd find in a salon stockroom, available over the counter. Staff who know what they're talking about. Treatments, tools, quality straighteners, colour products. If you've been buying your haircare from the supermarket and wondering why the results are average, this is the conversation you need to have. Mon–Sat.
Lili Beauty · 326 Heretaunga St West
Lili Beauty at 326 HSW. On the 300 block, in among the energy of Hustle Surf, Music Works, and The Line. Beauty services from a team that has built a loyal following on the strip. The 300 block rewards the curious — the people who walk past the obvious and find what's actually there.
"Seven specialists. Four blocks. No planning required. Just show up."
The full grooming stack is on WestSide. Barber open seven days from 8am. Lashes and nails from a team that earned its second salon in under two years. Hair stylists who remember your last cut. Beauty salons running 5.0 stars. Professional haircare products over the counter. All of it within walking distance of each other.
Most people know one or two of these. Now you know all seven.
