Welcome to Iron + Ivy Hair Studio Queenstown
Welcome to Iron + Ivy Hair Studio in Queenstown, the home of luxury hairdressing and professional hair care. For over two decades, I’ve dedicated my life to creating beautiful hair. Today, Iron + Ivy is where passion, artistry, and innovation come together.
My Story: From Manchester to Queenstown
My hairdressing journey began in the UK when I was 16 years old. At 15, I spent every spare moment in the salon, learning, practicing, and developing a lifelong passion for the craft. By 16, I knew this would become my career.
I trained at the Toni & Guy Academy in Manchester, graduating with distinction in just one year, a course that usually takes four. My attention to detail and natural talent led me to become an educator for Toni & Guy. I shared my skills with the next generation of stylists.
From there, I joined Reuben Wood Salon in Manchester’s Northern Quarter, where I worked on editorial shoots, fashion shows, and creative projects. I also became the salon’s educator, designing training programs that helped assistants progress to award-winning careers. Seeing my students achieve titles such as “Young Hairdresser of the Year” remains one of my proudest accomplishments.
Moving to New Zealand
In 2014, I relocated to New Zealand, where I worked as Creative Director and Manager at Collective Hair in Queenstown. Alongside this, I educated for a leading international hair care company. This deepened my experience in professional styling, colour, and product knowledge.
