  • Dana

    MASTER STYLIST

    Dana has been a legend in the hair and beauty industry for decades.  Having formally trained at Servilles in the same class as our Director Brandon, she has accumulated a wealth of technical skill and experience.  She left NZ in 2006 and has been hairdressing at the highest level in Sydney for almost 20 years, winning the Master Visionary Award at Wella Trend Vision along the way.  

    She has a strong passion for editorial and fashion show styling and a longstanding background in hair and makeup for film and television.  Her most recent gig was for Ryan Gosling and Emily Blunt's 2024 movie Fall Guy.

    Dana is a master of balancing structure and softness in her cutting, creating seamlessly beautiful colour results, and as you can image, possesses styling skills that are second to none.

    Enough said...Prepare yourself for beautiful hair!!

  • Quita

    STYLIST

    Quita (otherwise known as 'Magic Fingers'), is Saba’s mover and shaker. Clearly an over-achiever, she graduated Dux of Cut Above Academy of Hairdressing and was a proud mum by 20.

    With perfectionist tendencies, and a sweet and humble nature, Quita will dazzle you with her flair for creating beautiful and striking colours, flowing cuts and stunning blowdry finishes. If you are lucky enough to receive a head massage from 'Magic Fingers', you will be hers for life. You've been warned!!.

  • Brandon

    DIRECTOR

    After graduating from university with an engineering degree and working as a business analyst for 5 years, Brandon embarked on a journey to explore his creative side and pursued a career in hairdressing. 20 years on and having found the perfect blend of analytical and creative expression, he continues his pursuit of creating flawless, beautiful, and functional hairstyles for his clients.

    When not striving for perfect hair, he can be found spending quality time with his beautiful baby girl and partner, or diving headfirst into some mountain biking, motorcycling and surfing. He also has a penchant for making terrible dad jokes.

  • Lisa

    MASTER STYLIST

    Lisa gained her stripes as a stylist at Servilles Newmarket back in the early 2000s, a salon renowned as one of the best salons in Auckland at the time. She subsequently moved on to work at top salons in Sydney and London over a period of 7 years.

    A self-professed obsessive-compulsive, she can cut, colour and sculpt hair to perfection with effortless poise. Undeniably modest, she is the true definition of a master artisan hairdresser.

    In her spare time she can be found straightening crooked picture frames and indulging her culinary ambitions through preparing Italian and Asian masterpieces.

  • Taylar

    CURRENTLY ON PARENTAL LEAVE

    COLOUR TECHNICIAN

    Taylar is Saba’s up and coming hair superstar. Cool, calm, and collected, and with the intellect to match, you will definitely be in a safe pair of hands!! After receiving a scholarship out of high school, Taylar initially graduated with a degree in Construction Engineering. After working for 6 years as a site and project manager she took a leap of faith to pursue a career that she was genuinely passionate about. “I like that hairdressing is creativity within a framework which suits me and the way I operate perfectly”. When not creating seamless and beautiful colour work, Taylar is an outdoor junkie and loves a good hike with her doggie Kingi.
