DEAN

Hi my name is Dean
I'm from Cape Town, South Africa originally. I’ve been at Colors Hair Company a few years now and love being part of this dynamic team.

I've been in the hairdressing industry for well over twenty years. My passion for hair started very early in life. I have also been very fortunate from day one being taught the importance of education and training. I have an international qualification that recognises masterful colourists, so if your looking for that perfect colour, pick me.

I love ALL aspects of hairdressing. I enjoy doing both men and women’s hair design. I specialise in creative colouring, colour correction, foiling, balayage and ombre. I’m also very comfortable on the end of the clippers doing a stylish fade, or some hair tattooing.

In my spare time I like to spend it with my friends and family, my wife, son and daughter. I enjoy being in nature, camping, hiking and diving and having a great time outdoors or just keeping fit in the gym. We have turned into real kiwis and enjoy following the rugby.

I love meeting the beautiful people of New Zealand that we now call our home.

HEMI

Hi I’m Hemi.
Originally from Hamilton I have spent the last 20years of my hairdressing career working in salons both in Wellington and Auckland.

Due to the covid pandemic I returned to Hamilton, our industry was severely affected in Auckland with all hairdressing services shut down. With a lot of stress also came growth and it gave me the opportunity to re-evaluate, stop and look at the importance and balance in life for me, that was coming home.

One thing that has always remained the same is my love and passion for hair. I offer over 20 years of experience on cutting and colouring. From long to short styles and everything in between. From blondes to brunettes, with full head foils and balayage hand painted techniques, I love it all.

In my spare time you will find me constantly upkeeping with on-point hair trends and upskilling my technical abilities to offer clients the best services. You would also find me walking my two adorable fur baby pugs Kayla & Eva.

As a member of the Colors team, I love to be here working along-side a dynamic talented group that all share the love of making our clients look and feel amazing.

Hi there I’m Leonie.
Im a fully qualified Hairdresser with 20 years’ experience. I have recently taken 5 years off to have another gorgeous girl so just getting back into it.

I’ve always loved colouring, foiling, and cutting. I love to working at Colors,(its my happy place) with its friendly vibe and very talented team. I always love learning new things, I feel like a sponge. Working at a salon that won Best Training Salon in NZ is super cool. Perfect opportunity to grow and regain my confidence after taking a wee break.

I look forward to meeting you when you are in…

MADDY

Hi Im Maddy.
I've still in the beginning stages of my career in hairdressing. I've already done a year at Varda Academy and I'm thrilled I have the privilege to complete my apprenticeship with DJ and the team at Colors.

A little bit about me is I grew up in Matamata with my 3 siblings, mum and dad. We moved to Hamiton when I was 10.

I have always been a creative person, I used to do art class. I always knew I wanted to be a hairdresser from a very young age. My nana was a hairdresser and love my nana.

Ive worked part time ever since I was about 12 or 13 yrs old so don’t mind hard work and consider I have a good work ethic.  Im excited to learn and grow in this amazing environment.  Cant wait to see how far I come.

See you soon.
