My love of all things hair started in high school, I left school to pursue an apprenticeship and qualified in 1993, I followed my passion for another 5years before heading overseas with my husband Ian on our OE and having a complete career change while away. On our return to NZ we started a family and I supported Ian in furthering his career.
In 2017, we decided it was my time to return to the industry I have always loved and had a passion for. That was when we purchased Live & Let Dye. As owner it is my responsibility to drive and inspire my amazing team of stylists, I strongly believe in education and keeping us ahead of the trends. You may also find me at the basin giving a fabulous head massage and I have finally mastered the coffee machine.
In my spare time I love to spend time with my family and friends listening to music especially Fleetwood Mac but I like a bit of everything!
Wow, 30 years in the hair industry and I still love it!
What do I love?
I’m a blonde specialist, although I love working with all colours. I love being able to create new on-trend looks and am a big fan of glam. Working with extensions and wigs is also a specialty.
I love to create a supportive and collaborative team culture and a vibrant environment for our clients.
Ohh, I’ve also been managing salons for the past 23 years and my favorite bit of that role is helping develop the technical skill set of those around me.
In my spare time I’m up for any adventure ending in rose.
I am born and raised in Auckland but i’m also half Italian, i’m the youngest in a family of five.
I started my hairdressing journey in 2020, after years of working in the hospitality industry. I have always loved watching videos of stylists online, and decided that now was the time to pursue the career myself. I especially love all things colour, and hope to one day become a Creative Colour Specialist.
I moved to New Zealand in 2014 from a tiny little island called Guernsey. The city life is very different from what I grew up in, but I really enjoy the freedom to be my authentic self. I love that we are able to help others become the truest version of themselves.
In my free time I love to play video games, write fiction, and create and wear costumes to various events. Anything creative is my jam!
I began my hairdressing journey in 2019 working in salons all around Auckland and coming from a family of strong women, some of who have worked in the beauty industry. The salon is where I feel at home and I love creating the best salon experience for all of my beautiful clients.
Creative colour work drew me to the industry and all of the beautiful souls that I get to meet along the way really drives my passion. I looove a good bouncy blow wave and can give a pretty mean head massage.
I love having a good chat and a giggle about pretty much anything, and in my spare time you can find me walking my seven year-old puppy and surrounding myself with my partner, best friends and my family for some good food and a wee drink.
