Zurri Hairdressing is a boutique salon on Ladies Mile in Ellerslie, Auckland, created by company director Sally Senior after upwards of twenty years in the hairdressing industry. The salon's stated aim is a unique and special hairdressing experience: a warm and luxurious environment filled with vibrant, creative stylists, where clients are invited to indulge themselves in the Zurri experience.
The team of five blends deep experience with fresh ideas. Salon manager Jo is the salon's colour specialist, with a history in the industry spanning more than twenty years and a focus on improving communication between clients and the team. Senior stylists Lisa and Oksana bring warmth and craft to the floor — Oksana trained in Saint-Petersburg, Russia, and brings more than eight years of experience — while emerging stylist Eden adds thirteen years of know-how, specialising in creative colour and natural, low-maintenance blondes, with a passion for sustainability and hair that grows out beautifully.
Zurri keeps generous hours for a suburban salon, including late nights until 9pm on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and welcomes bookings through the form on its website, where new clients can also pick up a voucher for their first visit. The team can be reached on 09 579 5022 or at ellerslie@zurri.co.nz, and shares the latest salon news and videos on Facebook and Instagram.
Step into Zurri Hairdressing on Ladies Mile in Ellerslie and the ambition is stated plainly: creating beautiful hair. But read the team's own words and a warmer picture emerges — this is a salon built around how hair makes people feel. 'Making people feel special, I think is the key,' senior stylist Lisa writes, in verse, on the team page. 'As long as your hair makes you feel good, everything else in the world seems as it should.'
Zurri was created by company director Sally Senior, who spent upwards of twenty years in the industry before deciding she knew exactly what great service and quality should look like. Her answer was a salon that treats a visit as a small indulgence: a warm, luxurious environment staffed by vibrant, creative stylists, where clients are invited to indulge themselves in the Zurri experience.
The team is small enough that regulars book by name. Jo, the salon manager, brings more than twenty years in hairdressing to the floor and doubles as the salon's colour specialist; she describes her role as enhancing the salon experience by improving communication between clients and the team, and invites anyone with questions to contact her directly. Senior stylists Lisa and Oksana handle the day-to-day craft — Oksana arrived with more than eight years of experience from Saint-Petersburg, Russia, and says her goals are simple: work with a smile, listen carefully, and enhance the beauty of your natural features.
Eden, the salon's emerging stylist, adds a distinctly modern note. With thirteen years of experience, Eden specialises in creative colour and natural, low-maintenance blondes, and is passionate about sustainability in all its forms — from caring for the environment to mindful self-care. Investing in your hair, Eden argues, is one of the most meaningful acts of self love, and it shows in hair designed to feel effortless, bespoke and true to you, and to grow out beautifully between visits.
Colour is where the expertise runs deepest. Between Jo's two decades as a colour specialist and Eden's creative colour and blonde work, the salon is well placed for everything from a routine refresh to a full transformation. General hairdressing sits with the senior stylists, and the team's invitation is simple: give them a call, pop in for a chat, or email if you prefer.
Appointments are arranged through the booking form on the Zurri website, where you can select a service and request a preferred stylist; the team follows up to confirm or adjust the details. First-time visitors can also pick up the new client voucher on the site before they come in.
Zurri keeps generous hours for a suburban salon. It opens at 9am Tuesday through Saturday, with late nights to 9pm on Tuesdays and Thursdays, a 5pm close on Wednesdays and Saturdays and a 4pm finish on Fridays. The salon is closed Sundays and Mondays, so anyone planning a weekend appointment should aim for Saturday.
You will find the salon at 179 Ladies Mile, Ellerslie, Auckland. Questions and feedback are welcomed by phone on 09 579 5022 or by email at ellerslie@zurri.co.nz, and the team keeps its Facebook and Instagram pages updated with the latest videos and news from the salon floor. There is also an online shop for the luxurious products and exceptional brands the stylists work with.
Whether you are after a considered blonde that grows out gracefully, a creative colour project, or simply a chair where someone listens first and styles second, Zurri's pitch to Ellerslie is consistent: come in, be looked after, and leave feeling — in Lisa's words — like everything else in the world seems as it should.
