Rosedale, Auckland — Est. Hair Studio
Beautifullyconsideredhair.
Colour, cutting, braiding and threading — crafted chair-side in Rosedale, for hair you actually want to wear home.
Balayage, 2026
Signature services.
Hand-painted balayage, full-head colour and gloss melts built in your natural light — not under a bowl.
Shape-first cutting and finishing designed around how your hair actually falls and moves.
Box braids, cornrows and texture work — neat parts, even tension, styles built to last weeks.
Thread-based shaping for a cleaner, longer-lasting line than wax — precise, gentle, fast.
Gel overlays, sculpted length and hand-set art finished under the same roof as your blowout.

The hands behind
every result.
Four specialities, one chair. Every service is matched to the artist who does it best.
Founder & Colour Director
Balayage, colour correction, gloss formulation
“Colour should look like it grew there. Every formula is mixed for the person in the chair, not the swatch on the wall.”
Senior Stylist, Cutting
Precision cutting, blowouts, finishing
“A great cut is invisible until it moves. I cut for how you actually wear your hair, not how it looks pinned still.”
Braid & Texture Specialist
Box braids, cornrows, protective styling
“Tension and parting are everything. A braid should feel light on day one and still look sharp on day twenty.”
Threading & Brow Artist
Brow shaping, lash line, skin prep
“The brow frames the whole face. I shape for your bone structure first, trend second.”
Little details, felt everywhere.
7 Days
Open every day of the week, 9am–7pm — including weekends.
One Roof
Colour, cutting, braiding, threading and nails, in a single visit.
Hand-Mixed
Every colour formula is mixed for your skin tone, not a chart.
Chair-Side
A real consultation happens before anything touches your hair.
Real shifts, real hair.
Copper Gloss Melt
Flat, single-process brunette lifted into a warm copper-auburn gloss with a soft root melt — one formula family, zero brass.
Butter Blonde Balayage
Hand-painted balayage lifted three levels and toned to a soft, warm blonde that grows out clean.
Glass Brunette Blowout
A deep-conditioning gloss and round-brush finish for that mirror-smooth, light-catching brunette shine.
Face-Framing Layers
Long one-length hair reshaped into soft face-framing layers for movement without losing length.
A closer look at the work.
What it feels like to visit.
“Best balayage I've had in Auckland. My colourist actually listened before touching a single foil.”

From the door to the mirror.
