Hairdresser in the Bay of Islands
Specialist colour, smoothing and cutting in a private, one-on-one studio in Waipapa, near Kerikeri
Book NowStudio 15 Boutique Hair Studio is a private, one-on-one hair salon in Waipapa, in the heart of the Bay of Islands. If you're after a specialist rather than a busy salon, owner and stylist Tracey Herselman offers unhurried appointments where you're the only client in the studio.
Many of Studio 15's services are ones you plan ahead for: a Nanoplasty smoothing treatment that lasts for months, a bespoke blonde or balayage, or a grey blending plan that grows out softly. Each one starts with a proper consultation, so the result suits your hair and your routine.

Studio 15 is at 15 Waipapa Loop Road, Waipapa, Northland 0230, near Kerikeri. Free parking is available directly outside.
Is it worth travelling to Studio 15 for Nanoplasty?
Nanoplasty results commonly last around 5 to 6 months, so it's a treatment you only need a couple of times a year. A consultation beforehand helps Tracey confirm it's the right treatment for your hair and plan your appointment.
Can I book a consultation first?
Yes. A Cut and Style or Colour Consultation is $20, and that $20 is credited toward your appointment when you go ahead and book. A consultation is also recommended before Nanoplasty or Cezanne smoothing.
