Our Team
Suzanne
Owner
When I started Hype Hair Spa in 2010, I had a vision that it would be so much more than hair. I wanted it to be a place where you can come and be pampered, where nothing is more important than you. I have created a salon environment where hairdressers love to work and clients love to visit.
​
Now with over 25+ years of experience in the industry, I am committed to consistently providing my clients with new ideas and inspiration to ensure they have fabulous hair. I love building a connection and a relationship with my clients so their time at Hype is special, and I get to make every person who sits in my chair feel great about themselves. My passion is being a mentor and supporter to my team at Hype.​

Hayley
Senior Stylist
I have been hairdressing for 24 years, and it still excites me every day. I have had a few different roles in the industry, working and training in top salons in Auckland, owning my salon and also working in hairdressing technical support.
​
I have a huge passion for my job, as much as the day I started. I like to think of myself as an all-around stylist. I love cutting, colouring and styling; however, I do have a special love for soft blondes and balayage and love seeing how a new cut or colour can make my client look and feel.
I’m always up-skilling with new cutting and colouring techniques, which I love to offer to my clients, giving them fresh looks every visit. I love meeting people and making them feel good about themselves.

Charlize
Emerging Stylist- Second Year of Apprenticeship
I’m so happy to be a part of the team here at Hype Hair Spa. I’ve been hairdressing since 2022 and I truly love every part of my job. I have a huge passion for styling, colouring, cutting, and of course, having great conversations with clients. Making people feel beautiful and confident—with a big smile on their face—is the best and most rewarding part of what I do.
​
I’m always learning, growing, and staying inspired in this amazing industry. Whether you're after a fresh new look, a subtle refresh, or just some time to relax and be pampered, I’m here for it all. I can’t wait to meet you and for you to become a part of this journey with me.
