Synergy Hair Newmarket is the Broadway outpost of a New Zealand-owned hairdressing name that has been part of the country's beauty scene for 25 years. You'll find it on Level 2 of Westfield Newmarket, where hands-on salon expertise meets one of the most extensive professional hair care retail ranges around — from everyday shampoo and conditioner right through to glow-in-the-dark fashion colour.
The store is organised around real hair needs rather than just brands: dry, frizzy, damaged, oily, fine, curly, blonde, coloured, sensitive scalps and thinning hair all have dedicated sections across shampoo, conditioner, treatments and styling. Tools are equally well covered, with straighteners, dryers, curling irons, hot brushes and clippers from names like ghd, Dyson, Cloud Nine, Parlux, Silver Bullet, Muk Hair and Gamma+.
Can't make it in person? Synergy Hair's online store carries the same depth of range, with free express shipping on orders over $80 and a review base of more than 17,000 customers — a fair sign of how many New Zealanders trust this team with their hair. Whether you're rescuing damaged lengths, maintaining a fresh colour, experimenting with Manic Panic pink, or picking up a gift voucher for someone fussy about their products, it's a genuinely useful stop.
Step off Broadway and up to Level 2 of Westfield Newmarket, and you'll find Synergy Hair Newmarket — Shop 92/309 Broadway — the kind of place that starts as a quick errand and ends with a full basket. It's the Newmarket branch of a New Zealand-owned hairdressing business with 25 years in the industry, and it pairs hands-on salon know-how with one of the most extensive professional hair care retail selections in the country.
That selection isn't limited to the shop floor. Synergy Hair runs a comprehensive online store at synergyhair.co.nz, complete with free express shipping on orders over $80 and a review board of more than 17,000 customers — numbers that say a lot about how many New Zealanders have made this their go-to for everything from everyday shampoo to glow-in-the-dark fashion colour.
What sets Synergy Hair apart is how the range is organised. Rather than a wall of unfamiliar bottles, products are grouped by what your hair actually needs: dry, frizzy, damaged, oily, fine or flat, curly and wavy, blonde, coloured, sensitive scalp, dandruff-prone, or thinning. Each concern is matched across shampoo, conditioner and treatment, so building a routine is straightforward rather than guesswork.
The treatments section is worth a browse in its own right — bond repair, hair masks, oils and serums, leave-in conditioners, split-end and detangling products, scalp treatments and scrubs, and hair growth formulas. Styling covers frizz control, curl enhancement, heat protection, blow-dry lotions, shine oils, volumising, texturising and salt sprays, backed up by dry shampoo and hairspray for the finishing touches.
Hardware gets equal attention. The tools wall includes hair straighteners, dryers, curling tools, hot brushes and clippers from featured brands like ghd, Dyson, Cloud Nine, Parlux, Silver Bullet, Muk Hair and Gamma+.
Home colourists are well catered for. The hair colour department spans permanent, semi-permanent and temporary colour, root retouch kits, developers, toners, bleach and colour remover, with accessories to match. For the creatively inclined, the fashion colour selection runs through blonde, copper, red, blue, pink, purple, pastel, fluorescent and even glow-in-the-dark shades from brands like Manic Panic, Crazy Color, Danger Jones and Crema Colour.
Around the rest of the store you'll find brushes and combs of every description — paddle, barrel, vented, boar bristle, detangling, teasing and wet brushes from Tangle Teezer, Denman and Happy Hair Brush — plus hair clips, ties and rollers. There's a dedicated men's department covering shampoo, conditioner, beard and shave care, and styling in wax, clay, pomade, paste, cream, mousse, gel and spray form, with American Crew, D:Fi and Fudge among the staples. A beauty corner adds Medik8 skin care, St Tropez tanning and RevitaLash.
The brand line-up reads like a who's who of professional hair care: Kevin Murphy, Olaplex, K18, Redken, Pureology, Moroccanoil, Davines, Evo, Eleven, Nak, De Lorenzo, Matrix, Wella, Goldwell and dozens more. With a quarter-century of hairdressing behind the name, recommendations are grounded in real experience — whether you're rescuing damaged lengths, maintaining a fresh colour or chasing curls that finally behave.
Shoppers on a mission can head straight to the Bestsellers or Sale sections, while value hunters will appreciate the bundles and value packs, litre and large sizes, and travel sizes for weekends away. There's a kids' range for little heads, and a gifts department that takes the stress out of pressies — fail-safe sets sorted by hair type, gifts for men across several budgets, and gift vouchers for anyone particular about their products.
Whether you're a Newmarket local ducking in during a Westfield run or browsing online from anywhere in New Zealand, Synergy Hair Newmarket makes 25 years of hairdressing experience easy to take home — one shampoo, straightener or shock-pink semi-permanent at a time.
