Rodney Wayne Shore City is the Takapuna home of New Zealand's most awarded hair salon name, located in the Shore City Shopping Centre on Anzac Street. The Rodney Wayne group has been voted Hair Salon of the Year in the Remix Magazine Reader's Choice Awards in 2021, 2022, 2023 and 2025, and is dedicated to world-leading hairstyling, hair colouring and hair care.
The name goes back to 1980, when Rodney Wayne opened his first Auckland salon in the heart of the city. Within eight years he was operating eight salons, having made a quality consultation the foundation of the business — 'We listen. We care' remains a guiding principle, alongside great service and even better hair. Today the group spans more than 30 salons nationwide plus 15 Shampoo 'n' Things haircare stores, and the Shore City team carries that standard onto the North Shore.
Every visit starts with an individual consultation with an expert hairdresser. Authorised L'Oréal Colour Ambassadors are available in every Rodney Wayne salon, and stylists work with genuine L'Oréal Professionnel colours and Kérastase treatments, trained to enhance the beauty of your hair without compromising its health or integrity. Appointments can include a K-Scan hair and scalp analysis — complimentary as part of any service consultation — and Kérastase Fusio-Dose treatments personalised to your hair.
Alongside the salon chairs you'll find professional haircare to take home: the group runs NZ's official online store for guaranteed genuine ghd, Kérastase, Redken, L'Oréal Professionnel and Pureology, so at-home care never compromises on hair health.
Rodney Wayne Shore City brings one of New Zealand's most decorated salon names to the Shore City Shopping Centre on Anzac Street, right in the middle of Takapuna's shopping heart. The Rodney Wayne group is recognised as the most awarded hair salon in New Zealand and has been voted Hair Salon of the Year in the Remix Magazine Reader's Choice Awards in 2021, 2022, 2023 and 2025 — a reputation built on world-leading hairstyling, hair colouring and hair care.
Rodney Wayne opened his first Auckland salon in the heart of the city in 1980. The luxurious salon immediately captured the attention of Aucklanders seeking world-class style, and within eight years Rodney was operating eight hair salons. He believed a quality consultation was vital to understanding what each client truly wanted, and 'We listen. We care' became the group's guiding principle, with great service and even better hair as its hallmarks. More than four decades on, there are over 30 Rodney Wayne salons across the country and 15 Shampoo 'n' Things haircare stores — and the Shore City salon carries that legacy onto the North Shore.
Colour sits at the centre of what Rodney Wayne does. Authorised L'Oréal Colour Ambassadors are available in every salon in the group, and stylists work with genuine L'Oréal Professionnel colours and Kérastase treatments. The craft runs deep: in 2026, four of the fifteen New Zealand finalists in the L'Oréal Professionnel Style & Colour Trophy — the world's longest-running professional hair competition — were Rodney Wayne stylists, judged on 360-degree before-and-after transformations. That depth is no accident. The group runs an ongoing education programme led by Creative & Education Director Newton Cook, whose session styling features in some of New Zealand's leading beauty and lifestyle publications. Newton was voted Hairstylist of the Year at the inaugural Viva Magazine Beauty Awards, has led hair shows at New Zealand Fashion Week, and is part of the L'Oréal Professionnel Artist Team across Australia and New Zealand. The Rodney Wayne Artistic Team is selected through a rigorous audition process, keeping stylists nationwide learning, refining and pushing their craft.
A Rodney Wayne appointment is built around the health of your hair. The K-Scan hair and scalp analysis is complimentary as part of the consultation with any service, or available as a standalone service with the cost redeemable on product purchases during the appointment — so every colour and cut starts from a healthy foundation. For hair that needs more, the salon offers Kérastase Fusio-Dose treatments, including Concentré Blond Absolu + Booster Cicablond for blondes and Concentré Genesis + Booster Reconstruction for strength, each personalised during a complimentary consultation. The philosophy is simple: stylists enhance the beauty of your hair without compromising its health or integrity. As Newton puts it, everyone deserves the right to look and feel fabulous — looking great is amazing, but it's feeling fabulous that gives you that extra glow of confidence.
Every appointment begins with an individual consultation with an expert hairdresser, whether you're after a fresh cut, expert coloration or at-home care advice. Take-home products matter here too: Rodney Wayne runs NZ's official online store for guaranteed genuine ghd, Kérastase, Redken, L'Oréal Professionnel, Pureology and other leading salon-quality brands, so your hair never has to compromise between salon and home. Watch for in-salon promotions as well — participating Rodney Wayne and Shampoo 'n' Things stores have been offering a complimentary Blunt Metro umbrella with any three full-size Wella Ultimate products.
Appointments can be booked online through the Rodney Wayne booking system, and if you need to change a time, the team asks that you contact your salon directly.
