Fashion retailers have been getting better & better in recent years (have you noticed?).

Starting in August, New Zealand’s best of the high street, Glassons, will launch the first of its new capsule-style salon concept ‘Pony Xpress’ within its new Newmarket flagship store. This miniature salon-within-a-store has been set up in partnership with BLAZE salon (which is stocked with internationally recognized stylists) and offers in-between-haircuts blow-drys and styling. This is a quick and easy way of supplementing ones hairdresser routine, and at $35 a pop it’s an affordable way to do so.

Retailers are trying harder to entertain us, and Pony Xpress is a great concept in response to this need to entertain beyond being just retail. The styles aren’t so bad either, with the Pony Xpress styling team comprised of internationally recognized stylists.

This is one cool idea that I’m sure is going to be immensely popular. What do you think? Would you make use of a capsule salon in a high street store?

I think this is a wonderful idea. It’s that extra bit of pampering when you’re buying yourself something nice.
