Mina's Hair Studio is a new and cozy spot on Lake Road in Devonport, Auckland, opened in 2023 with a simple promise: the best hair experience ever, in a super friendly environment. Small and personal, the studio treats hairdressing as an art built on knowledge, passion, love and fun — from staying on top of the latest trends and techniques in colouring and hairstyling to embracing eco-friendly products.
The studio's featured services are haircuts and highlights, supported by broader expertise in colouring and hairstyling, with the full service and price list published on the website. Alongside the chair work, Mina's stocks a small retail line including the LUST range — Texture Mousse, Finishing Spray and Flexible Spray — plus hair tools, so you can keep the salon finish at home.
Appointments can be booked online, by phone on 095581961 or by email. Hours run 9am-8pm on Tuesdays and Thursdays and 9am-5pm on Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays; the studio is closed on Mondays and Sundays, and public holidays may affect the usual opening times.
Mina's Hair Studio sits on Lake Road in Devonport, one of Auckland's most characterful seaside villages, and it wears its newcomer status with pride. Opened in 2023, the studio bills itself as 'a new and cozy spot where you'll get the best hair experience ever, all in a super friendly environment' — and that simple promise runs through everything the team does, from the welcome at the door to the last spritz of finishing spray. The name on the door belongs to Mina, whose journey as a hairdresser the studio frames as an art as much as a trade, and the space reflects that: cosy, personal and entirely focused on the person in the chair.
Behind the promise is a clear philosophy. Mina describes hairdressing as 'not just a profession, it is an art with knowledge, passion, love and Fun.' Knowledge forms the backbone: the studio keeps itself updated with the latest trends, techniques and innovations in the ever-evolving realm of colouring and hairstyling. That means constantly exploring what suits each client's dream hair, staying in tune with emerging trends and embracing eco-friendly products.
Each of those four pillars shows up in the day-to-day. Passion is what powers the studio's transformations — the team is explicit that their work is never 'just doing a random hair do'; it is about boosting confidence and happiness, and they count their clients' biggest smiles on the way out the door among the best parts of the job.
Love, they say, is the secret ingredient at Mina's: 'it is not just about hair, it is about people.' And fun is the spice added to the work — the belief that the journey to a fabulous hairstyle should be unique and enjoyable, not a chore to tick off. For a small neighbourhood studio, that warmth is the thing that sets the tone for every appointment.
Mina's keeps its service menu focused: haircuts and highlights are the two headline services featured on the studio's homepage, backed by broader expertise in colouring and hairstyling. Because the team tracks trends and techniques closely, the service list is a place where classic requests and more current looks sit side by side. The full price list is published on the studio's website, so you can see exactly what your appointment involves before you book.
Appointments are made simple through the studio's online booking system, which lets you choose your service and time without a phone call. Even with walk-in friendliness, booking ahead is the surest way to secure a chair — particularly if you have your heart set on one of the late-night evenings.
The studio also retails a small, curated line of hair products so the salon finish can be recreated at home. The LUST range includes the Texture Mousse, the Finishing Spray and the Flexible Spray, sitting alongside the studio's hair tools. Ask your stylist which of the three suits your hair type and the look you are after — the finishing and flexible sprays each play a slightly different role, while the mousse is there for texture.
Mina's keeps hours that work around real life. The studio opens at 9am Tuesday through Saturday, with late nights on Tuesdays and Thursdays until 8pm — handy for anyone working standard office hours. Wednesday, Friday and Saturday appointments run from 9am to 5pm. The studio is closed on Mondays and Sundays, and public holidays may affect the usual hours, so it is worth confirming around long weekends.
You will find the studio at 71C Lake Road, Devonport, Auckland. Book online through the website, call 095581961 or email hairstudiomina@gmail.com with any questions. If you like a good deal, the studio invites visitors to 'get on the list' — its mailing list shares news of coupons and discounts.

Whether you are after a straightforward haircut, fresh highlights or advice on keeping your colour current, Lake Road in Devonport is home to a studio that treats hair as art — and people as the point.
