Jingles Hair Design: Award-Winning Hair Salon in Hamilton East

On Grey Street in Hamilton East, Jingles Hair Design has built a reputation as a leading hair salon led by an award-winning team. At the helm is Ann Marie Young, Creative Director and Salon Owner, whose creativity, technical skill and passion have shaped the direction of the salon.

An award-winning creative director

Ann Marie Young's list of accolades runs deep: a 2025 AHIA New Zealand Hairdresser of the Year finalist, winner of the 2016 NZ Industry Men's Hairdresser of the Year, the 2013 NZ Hairdressing Awards Waikato Hairdresser of the Year, and a double winner at the 2011 International Beauty Stylist Awards for both Top Stylist and Colour and Cut. That recognition spans cutting, colour, editorial styling and men's hairdressing, giving the salon a genuinely broad base of expertise to draw on.

Cutting, colour and everything in between

Jingles' service menu covers the full range of hairdressing needs, from consultations and cuts across every stylist tier through to restyles, fringe trims, and blow dries suited to short, medium or long hair. For special occasions, the salon offers Hair Up styling and bridal styling by consultation, while its colour services span T-section, half head, full head and back-to-back foils, balayage and tone, root regrowth, semi-permanent colour, toning and the Shinefinity Glaze for added shine. A dedicated grey hair care range covers full head tinting, grey blending and grey root retouching.

Treatments built to last

Beyond cutting and colour, Jingles offers a set of longer-lasting treatments: the Keratin Express Blowout, which smooths hair and reduces curl for up to six weeks, and the Keratin Complex, which manages frizz for up to three months. The Smooth Filler Service delivers shinier, frizz-resistant hair with humidity resistance for up to three months, while permanent curl and chemical straightening services are also available, with pricing dependent on hair length and condition.

The Japanese Head Spa

One of Jingles' standout offerings is its Japanese Head Spa menu, available in three tiers. The Introductory Japanese Head Spa runs 15 minutes and includes a shampoo, Japanese scalp massage with treatment, hot towel and blow wave. The Relaxation Japanese Head Spa extends to 25 minutes with a deeper scalp cleansing shampoo and massage, while the Ultimate Japanese Head Spa is a 40-minute experience with deep scalp cleansing, an intense scalp massage and treatment, hot towel, blow wave and a styled finish.
