About Studio 15
Where every strand tells a story of beauty and individuality
Tracey Herselman
Hi, I'm Tracey — owner and stylist of Studio 15, a boutique one-on-one salon in Waipapa, Kerikeri specialising in personalised colour, lived-in blondes and beautiful, healthy hair.
Studio 15 was created for clients who value a calm, private and personalised salon experience. As an owner-operated space, every appointment is tailored and unhurried, allowing you to relax while I create hair that feels effortless, modern and uniquely yours.
With decades in the industry and a commitment to ongoing advanced education, I specialise in customised colour and transformations that enhance your natural features and lifestyle. My work has also included backstage styling at international fashion events and continued training with leading professional colour brands, ensuring my techniques remain current, refined and results-focused.
I believe beautiful hair shouldn't come at the expense of its health or your wellbeing. That's why Studio 15 is designed as a welcoming, calm space where you can recharge, feel looked after, and leave feeling confident in your hair.
Appointments are limited to maintain a high level of care and attention for every guest.
I look forward to welcoming you into the studio when the time is right for you.
The Heritage
The original house that burnt down was the gum diggers trading post where everyone washed and weighed their gum before selling and trading. It then became the post office, before Kerikeri was born and is now proudly the home of Studio 15 Boutique Salon.
Why I Use Kevin Murphy
Studio 15 Boutique Salon prefers to use KEVIN.MURPHY COLOR.ME, as what goes inside the tube is just as important as the colour it creates. These products are PPD free, ammonia free and naturally derived ingredients like aloe vera, honey, shea butter and pomegranate with K18 professional molecular repair. Kevin Murphy uses the best of nature and technology with skincare ingredients.
