M11 Studio

About M11 Studio

M11 Studio is a hair studio on McColl Street in Newmarket, Auckland, built around a deep and detailed colour menu. Tint and demi colour, partial, half and full-head foils, freehand lightening, a dedicated lighten-and-tone category with plex protection, toners and keratin smoothing all feature, backed by a treatments list that includes Colour Wow, K18, Wellaplex, Wella Infusion and a range of targeted Malibu C services for swimmers, hard water and scalp care.

Beyond colour, the studio handles women's and men's cuts, wash and blow waves, dry styles and event hair-ups, and fits tape-in hair extensions with removal and re-tape maintenance every six to eight weeks. Weddings are a particular focus, with in-salon bridal services and three on-location packages that include complimentary consultations, bride hair trials and a senior stylist team; makeup is arranged through freelance artists.

Hours run late Tuesday to Thursday, with daytime sessions Friday and Saturday, reception-only Monday mornings, and closures on Sundays and public holidays. Bookings can be made by phone or email, and the team's work can be followed on Instagram and Facebook.

M11 Studio Newmarket: Expert Hair Colour, Extensions & Bridal Styling in Auckland

Tucked down McColl Street in central Newmarket, M11 Studio is a hair studio for Aucklanders who take their colour seriously. The service menu runs from straightforward regrowth touch-ups to full-head transformations, with cutting, styling, extensions and bridal work alongside, and a treatment bar dedicated to keeping hair in good condition through it all. Appointments can be booked by phone on (09) 320 1579 or by email at [email protected], and the studio's People page introduces the stylists behind the chairs.

Colour is the headline act

The colour menu is where the studio runs deepest. Tint and demi options cover root re-touches and all-over colour for short, medium and long hair, plus a dedicated men's colour service. For lift, there are foils by the partial, half or full head — each with its own long-hair tier — as well as combined foil-and-root-colour services so regrowth and highlights are handled in a single visit. Freehand colour covers full-head hand-painted work, with tipping add-ons for short and long hair.

Blondes and bigger transformations get their own lighten and tone category, where plex protection comes included: roots, roots plus ends, a second application for extra lift, tip-outs measured per five grams, and a quick basin balayage. Toners can be added to any colour service or booked as a stand-alone full-head gloss, helping keep brassiness in check between full appointments. Keratin rounds things out, from a one-hour Keratin Express blow-out to a full keratin treatment for longer-lasting smoothness.

Treatments, cuts and finishing

The treatments list is long and specific: Colour Wow, available stand-alone or as an add-on, K18 bond repair, Wellaplex, Colour renew, a Wella Infusion and a Chloe Zara scalp treatment, plus the Malibu C range — chlorine removal for swimmers, a hard-water detox, colour pigment removal and scalp care. Several can be booked on their own or slotted in alongside a colour appointment.

Cuts fall under the studio's Hair Experience banner for both women's and men's hair. Styling runs from a simple wash and blow wave to thirty-minute dry styles and event-ready blow waves, with a reduced rate when a blow wave is added to a colour appointment. Hair-ups cover evening and ball styling, bridal hair and wedding trials, and hair-up consultations are complimentary.

Weddings, at the studio or on location

Weddings are a genuine specialty. In the salon, brides begin with a complimentary consultation, move on to a one-hour trial, then wedding-day hair, with hair-up and blow-wave options for bridesmaids. For larger parties, three on-location packages bundle the bride, bridesmaids and mother of the bride together with the consultation, a bride hair trial and a senior stylist team, and quotes can be customised for groups that don't fit the standard line-up. Makeup is arranged through freelance artists, covering bridal, bridesmaid, trial and one-hour bookings.

Length, volume and maintenance

Tape-in hair extensions are fitted by the full, three-quarter or half head. Removal is priced by the number of packs, and re-tape maintenance is recommended every six to eight weeks to keep everything sitting cleanly. It's a tidy, structured system — book the fit, then diarise the maintenance.

Plan your visit

Opening hours run late from Tuesday to Thursday, 10am to 8pm, with 9am to 5pm days on Friday and Saturday. Monday morning, 9am to 1pm, is reception only, and the studio closes Sundays and public holidays. The studio sits at 11 McColl St, Newmarket, Auckland 1023. A small service fee applies to every appointment, colour prices exclude a colour finish charge, and requesting a senior stylist carries an application fee — all worth clarifying when you book.
