Our story

Why we slow down for great hair

Good colour takes time. We give it.

Studio Kin Hair was founded by Mia Thompson, who wanted a Wellington salon where colour correction and lived-in blondes could be done properly, without clients watching the clock.

Every appointment is booked with room to talk through what you want, test the tone on a few strands and work it through slowly. It's why clients come back for their colour, not just their cut.

  • Online booking, no phone tag
  • Vegan, cruelty-free colour
  • Time built into every appointment
  • Colour correction, done carefully

What matters here

The details behind great hair

Three things every client notices.

Time for every client

Appointments are paced for proper consultation and colour work, not rushed through.

Vegan, cruelty-free colour

Every colour service uses vegan, cruelty-free products, chosen for condition as much as tone.

Easy online booking

Book your cut, colour or treatment online, any time, without picking up the phone.

Colour correction, done right

Mia leads every colour correction, working through tone and condition until it's right.
