Scarlett Hair is a professional hair salon in the heart of Ellerslie, Auckland, established in 2012 and now located at 130B Main Highway. The salon offers a professional, relaxed environment where clients can be pampered and unwind, assured they are in expert hands.
The team of expertly trained stylists — friendly and approachable by their own description — offers a wide range of hair services, with a focus on creating personalised cuts and colours that work for the individual. That approach reflects the salon's stated belief that hair is the major part of a client's identity.
Scarlett works with premium ethical and sustainable, cruelty-free products, including Kevin Murphy, Color Me by Kevin Murphy and Eleven Australia ranges. Opening hours vary slightly from week to week; the salon is open Tuesday to Saturday and booking ahead is recommended. The Arthur Street carpark right next door offers three hours of free parking.
Scarlett Hair has been part of Ellerslie since 2012, when the salon first opened its doors in the heart of the suburb. More than a decade on, the team has moved to a new home at 130B Main Highway, still in the same neighbourhood its clients know. The new address gives the salon a fresh base for what it has always done well: professionally crafted hair in a setting that feels relaxed rather than rushed.
The salon's stated mission shapes the whole experience: to offer a professional, relaxed environment where clients can be pampered and unwind, assured they are in expert hands. The stylists describe themselves as friendly and approachable, and that tone carries through everything from the welcome at the door to the way a cut or colour is planned. The idea is a salon visit that feels like time set aside for yourself, not an errand to be squeezed in.
At the centre of Scarlett's work is a belief the team puts plainly: hair is the major part of a client's identity. Rather than applying one look to everyone, the stylists aim to create a personalised cut and colour that works for the individual — suited to the person in the chair, their lifestyle and the way they want to present themselves. Clients come to be transformed by a team of expertly trained professional hair stylists, whether that means a considered refresh of a current style or a more noticeable change.
Because the salon offers a wide range of services, appointments can cover the full span of haircare, from cutting to colour. What stays constant is the individualised approach: the stylists take the time to understand what will actually work for you, then deliver it with professional technique. The salon's website introduces its stylists and gathers client testimonials, so newcomers can get a feel for the team before they even sit down.
Scarlett Hair works with premium ethical and sustainable products — a commitment reflected in the brands it uses and stocks. These include Kevin Murphy and Color Me by Kevin Murphy, along with ranges from Eleven Australia and OWP, and the salon displays its cruelty-free credentials as well. For clients, that means the products used in the chair share a philosophy you can take home: salon-quality haircare chosen not only for how it performs, but for how it is made.
A few practical notes make a visit smoother. Scarlett's opening hours shift slightly from week to week, and the salon is closed on Sundays and Mondays but open Tuesday through Saturday. The team's own advice is simple: book ahead of time rather than assuming the same schedule applies every week. Appointments can be arranged by phone on 09 579 8733 or by email at [email protected], and the salon shares updates through its Facebook page.
Parking is one of the easier parts of visiting. The Arthur Street carpark sits right next to the salon, with three hours of free parking available there, and there is also two-hour parking in the carpark between Robert Street and Ladies Mile. Whether you are dropping in from nearby or travelling in from another part of Auckland, arriving by car rarely requires a long walk.
More than ten years in, Scarlett Hair has stayed focused on the things it set out to do: expert, personalised hairdressing, a calm and welcoming space, and products chosen with care. Whether you are an Ellerslie local looking for a new regular salon or visiting the suburb specifically for a cut or colour, the combination of trained stylists, ethical product lines and a relaxed setting makes it easy to settle into the chair — and with free parking next door and a straightforward booking process, just as easy to arrange the visit in the first place.
