For Sam, great hair starts with great relationships. He's passionate about making every appointment relaxed, enjoyable and personalised—and making sure there's always plenty of laughter along the way.

After returning to New Zealand, Carron continued her career with Peter Sharman Hair Design in Newmarket and Titirangi before joining L'Oréal New Zealand, further expanding her industry knowledge and expertise.

Carron believes that every great result begins with a thorough consultation. By taking the time to understand each client's lifestyle, goals and expectations, she creates personalised results that leave clients feeling confident and cared for.

Over the years, Andrew has built lasting friendships with many of his clients and loves welcoming new faces into the salon. His relaxed, friendly nature helps every client feel comfortable from the moment they sit down.
