FOUNDER and SENIOR STYLIST

It all began with….

An adventure in my heart and a desire to embrace who I am, I embarked on a journey which lead me from Eastern Europe to New Zealand, from the confined constraints of computers to the fabulous world of hair and ultimately, to Studio Five. I am passionate about people, and enhancing their beauty through hair. I didn’t choose hairdressing, it chose me!

I've been part of New Zealand's hairdressing industry for over 15 years, working in some of the finest salons in Auckland, Wellington, and Queenstown. It's been an honor to be a finalist in the AHIA Awards and recognized as a New Zealand Hairdresser of the Year 2023 finalist. I specialize in creating beautiful color work, especially with blondes, using all forms of progressive highlighting techniques. My passion lies in photographic and competition styling, and I've gained a reputation as one of New Zealand’s emerging new artists. I'm now a regular at some of our biggest fashion events and have the privilege of working on exclusive editorial and commercial projects.

STYLIST

I am a determined and courageous 28-year-old whose journey has been nothing short of inspiring. Leaving my roots in South Africa with my mom and brother, I embarked on a new chapter in the land of opportunity - New Zealand. While I initially pursued a career in a different field, my heart was always drawn to hairdressing, my true passion. Three years ago, I took a leap of faith and began my hairdressing journey as an apprentice, eager to embrace my lifelong dream. In October 2022, my dedication and hard work led me to Studio Five, where i continue to weave my creative magic and make a difference in the world, one haircut at a time. This is the story where I dared to follow my heart, chasing my dreams and discovering my true purpose along the way.
