Hairdressing has been a huge part of my life, and I still love the creativity and connection it brings. I enjoy keeping up with new trends, techniques and products, and am always keen to keep learning. At John St, I value being part of a talented team who inspire me and share their knowledge. Building relationships with clients and earning their trust makes hairdressing rewarding. Outside the salon, I enjoy family time, trips to Lake Taupō and trout fishing.

With 25 years of hairdressing experience, I love all aspects of the job, but have a particular passion for cutting and styling. I especially love a good razor cut — give me a pixie any day! Seeing clients leave the salon feeling better than when they arrived is hugely rewarding. Working at John St continues to inspire me, and I’m grateful for everything I’ve learnt alongside Kathy and the team. Outside work, I’m a proud Dance Mum and spend plenty of time driving my daughter to her activities!

I’ve been part of the wonderful John St family for eight years, with 13 years of hairdressing experience. I love creating the look you desire, whether through cut or colour, and especially enjoy enhancing your natural colour. I love the variety of our job, with no two days the same! Connecting with clients and helping them feel good inside and out is important to me. Outside the salon, I enjoy time with my bubbly son and am grateful to Kathy for supporting a great work-life balance.

I’m a qualified hairdresser who loves creating personalised hair. Since joining the industry in 2021, I’ve specialised in blondes and balayage, from bright, fresh blondes to lived-in, low-maintenance looks. I enjoy creating colours that complement each client’s features and lifestyle. Styling is another passion, whether it’s a soft blow wave, a ball up-do or a wedding look. I love making every style unique and helping my clients feel confident and their best.

Kia ora! I’ve been part of the fabulous John St whānau for the past four years, and I’m working towards my full qualification. I love all things hair, especially colour and getting creative. I’m definitely a people person and love getting to know the person in my chair, making them feel comfortable and creating hair that leaves them feeling like themselves and amazing. I’m always keen to try new things with clients, get creative and have a bit of fun along the way!

The past three years at John St have taught me so much, from people skills to applying colour. My confidence has grown with the support of Kathy and the girls, and I love being part of the team. I enjoy working alongside others and helping clients feel their best. It’s great to keep learning and developing my skills in such a supportive environment. Outside the salon, I love hanging out with family and friends and making the most of Wellington’s beautiful views.
