Hare & Hunter is a premium hair salon in the heart of Remuera, Auckland, specialising in the best 'lived in' colour — shades that elevate your natural hair colour and texture, whether that means rich darker tones, frame-facing highlights or low-maintenance balayage. The salon grew from director Brooke Mann's little home salon into one of Auckland's most sought-after salons, now home to a team of eight stylists spanning emerging talent through to directors and senior stylists.
Beyond colour, the menu covers refresh-and-trim appointments, entirely new cuts and styles, blow waves, and conditioning and smoothing treatments including keratin, K18, Wellaplex and deep moisture rituals — plus high-end products to maintain your hair's integrity between visits. Everything happens in a warm, inviting, luxuriously fitted-out salon built for kicking back and unwinding from the stress of the day.
Director Brooke Mann is one of the top wedding hair stylists in the country, flown around New Zealand to give brides the perfect hair for their big day. The professional, knowledgeable team creates a bespoke appointment for every client — a consultation-led experience designed to send you out the door with a Good Hair Day that you'll love every day.

Hare & Hunter is a premium hair salon in the heart of Remuera, Auckland, known first and foremost for its 'lived in' colour — shades designed to elevate your natural hair colour and texture rather than mask it. Think rich darker tones, frame-facing highlights, or a soft, low-maintenance balayage that grows out just as beautifully as the day it was painted.
The salon began small, in director Brooke Mann's home studio, and has since risen through the ranks to become one of Auckland's most sought-after salons. Today it occupies a warm, inviting, luxuriously fitted space on Remuera Road, where the idea is simple: kick back, relax and let the stress of the day melt away while your hair is transformed.
Brooke brings almost twenty years of experience to the chair and is one of the country's leading bridal stylists, flown around New Zealand to create the perfect hair for brides on their biggest day. Her specialties are blondes, grey blending and brides, and she is dedicated to constantly upskilling her team — from baby stylists to senior hair extraordinaire.
That team now spans eight stylists across Director, Senior Stylist, Intermediate and Emerging levels, which means there is a pair of hands — and a price point — for every hair goal.
Colour is the heart of the service list. Alongside toner refreshes, global colour and grey root retouches — each finished with a blow wave and style — the salon offers customised balayage and the full spectrum of foils, from a quarter head to a full head, all including toner and Wellaplex.
Cuts and styling cover women's and men's haircuts, gold card haircuts, wash and blow-wave appointments, and event styling. Treatments run deep here too: keratin smoothing in three- and six-month options, K18 bond-repair add-ons, Wella System Professional treatments, a stand-alone Wellaplex ritual with massage and hot towel, a luxury deep moisture treatment, and dedicated scalp therapy.
Part of the salon's appeal is that you can match with the stylist whose strengths align with your hair. Grace loves blow waves, brunette balayage, flawless blondes and precision short cuts. Georgia — the salon's manager and a former makeup artist — is another blonde and balayage specialist with a sharp eye for detail. Ella is the name behind the biggest 'OMG!' curls and high-contrast balayage, while Emmalee excels at soft natural and reverse balayage and red-carpet-worthy blow waves.
If smooth, silky, wash-and-go hair is the dream, Zara's keratin treatments are the answer. Regan is making her name in foiling and cutting, and Willow is the go-to for blow waves, treatments and toners.
Weddings are a genuine speciality. Brooke is one of the top wedding hair stylists in the country and is regularly flown around New Zealand for bridal work — wedding glam waves and updos included. The salon takes wedding enquiries through its contact page, and the wider team is on hand to help you plan your Best Hair Day Ever for your Biggest Day Ever.
Every appointment is bespoke, built around a consultation to make sure you walk out with what the team calls a Good Hair Day — one you'll love every day. The salon also stocks high-end products so you can maintain your hair's integrity between visits, and the newsletter is the place to hear about new appointments, events, education, deals and new product ranges.
Booking is easy online. One practical note: parking on Remuera Road can be a bit tricky, so allow extra time — St Vincent Ave and Clonbern Road are the closest streets to try, with a parking station on Victoria Ave nearby. Hours run Monday to Saturday, with late nights on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays, and the salon is closed on Sundays.
