GET TO KNOW OUR TEAM
Desiree
I have 18 year's experience in the hair industry, having qualified in South Africa and then moved to London for 2 years to gain more experience
.
After getting back from London I worked on local soap operas and eventually opened and ran my own Hair salon for 7 years before immigrating to New Zealand in 2019 and calling it home.
I have always had a passion for hair and people.
Now I am stepping into my new role as Salon Manager to share and teach all my knowledge for future enthusiastic hairdressers and to create a beautiful environment for clients.
Marcio
I started in the industry at the age of 17 in Brazil where I found my passion for cutting and colouring. I have traveled to the USA, Canada, Chile, & Argentina to upskill myself during my 33 years of experience.
I was a salon owner for the last 8 years before deciding to move to New zealand. When I first visited New Zealand in 2018 I knew I wanted to come back to experience more about the culture, work and learn to speak English.
I speak Portuguese fluently and have a good understanding of Spanish. In my free time I love cycling all over Auckland and cooking great food.
Anneka

Fabulous salon with a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. Desiree always does a fabulous job and I would not let anyone else touch my hair... that's why I travel from central Auckland!! 100% recommend!

I got my hair cut and coloured by Chanelle she is an amazing hairdresser. Really friendly and does an excellent cut and colour also very knowledgeable about all the products she uses. Salon is looking amazing and has a very welcoming vibe and a very pleasant atmosphere.
