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!
I started hairdressing in 2004 and my love for creating beautiful hair and sharing my knowledge and skills with other stylists has only grown. I joined the Live & Let Dye team in 2016.
Originally from Christchurch, my hubby and I moved to Auckland in 2012 to gain experience and industry recognition for my photographic and long hair work. My most recent award being Highly Commended for the Keune Art Series 2017 Australasian competition.
I’m a huge fan of long hair and vintage styling as well as short precision cuts and perfectly blended balayage. I also love sharing my knowledge by training our junior staff to be the best they can be and helping my clients getting the most out of their hair.
When I’m not in salon creating magic for my clients you can find me playing my Saxophone with bands in bars around Auckland, hanging out at my local beaches in beautiful West Auckland, and spending time with my family and cats
Jamie is currently on maternity leave and will be back Dec 2022!
Born and bred in Auckland I started my hairdressing career in 2015 after having a passion for it my whole life. I’m a real Live & Let Dye original having done my apprenticeship through Live & Let Dye and became fully qualified in 2018.
I particularly love styling and doing anything bright and creative but also love a beautiful soft balayage.
I’m focused on furthering my education, learning new techniques and building my clientele.
Outside of the salon i love to cook, going on adventures with friends and chilling out listening to my favourite bands Pearl Jam, Foo Fighters, Bob Dylan & The Doors
I am born and raised in Auckland but i’m also half Italian, i’m the youngest in a family of five.
After being a hairdressing assistant for a few years I’ve decided to pursue a career in hairdressing. I’m really excited to be able to do my apprenticeship at Live and Let Dye, and I’m looking forward to learning more about colour and styling.
When I’m not at the Salon I enjoy spending time with friends, reading, baking, and creating art
Born and bred in NZ!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I have been passionate about colour, fun, beauty and creativity for a very long time and have finally found the courage to chase my dream of being a hairdresser, managed to find an amazing opportunity at the hidden gem Live and Let Dye, and I’m very excited to be working at the prestigious salon surrounded by some brilliant teachers of the trade.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You’ll see me around the salon learning all the basics, from making great tasting coffee’s to cleaning and washing hair with a smile and then I will be settling into a more permanent, full time position next year where I’ll be able to reap all the benefits of an amazing apprenticeship opportunity here at Live and Let Dye in the coming years!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
In my spare time I’m a bit of an advocate for the climate, and for the animals, I love to travel when I can, and spend time with my loved ones whilst always having lots of fun!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I’m very excited to be a part of the team!
