Upstairs in The Mall in central Queenstown, Crew Stylists has been home to a boutique team of master colourists and stylists since 2015. Over that time, the salon has built a reputation as Queenstown's most popular destination for the best hair in Central Otago, with a clear focus on balayage, blondes, weddings and precision cutting techniques.
Crew Stylists puts real emphasis on colour that lasts and grows out well, rather than chasing a quick fix. The salon's own description sums it up: "Balayage and foils, planned the long way round. Blondes that grow out beautifully." The colour menu covers Balayage, Blondes & Lightening, Foils & Highlights, and Global Colour, giving clients a range of options depending on how dramatic or subtle a change they're after.
Beyond colour, the salon offers Cut & Style — described as cuts "shaped to how you actually wear your hair, not how the chart book says" — alongside Blow Dry & Styling and a dedicated Men's Hair service. For hair that needs a little extra care, Treatments & Rituals and Smoothing services are also available, and Hair Extensions cater to clients after more length or volume than their natural hair allows.
Wedding Hair is a particular strength at Crew Stylists, described as "handled with the calm of a team that has done hundreds." Whether it's a Queenstown local getting married locally or someone wedding-shopping for a destination day in the Remarkables, the salon positions itself as equipped to book the chair the way the occasion deserves. Nails are also offered, rounding out the salon's beauty services.
The Crew Stylists team includes Tina Fuller, Tomoko Shirota, Mckenzie Edgar, Jess Boyd, Natasha Ruiz, Stephanie Carroll and Mya McKee — a group the salon describes simply as a boutique team of master colourists and stylists. Clients can browse the full team on the salon's website before booking, giving them a chance to choose a stylist whose work suits their style.
Crew Stylists stocks and sells a curated range of professional haircare brands, including Kérastase (with lines like Blond Absolu, Chroma Absolu, Curl Manifesto and Gloss Absolu), L'Oréal Professionnel (including the Metal Detox range of anti-deposit shampoos, masks and leave-in treatments), Redken, Pureology (including Hydrate and Strength Cure), and ghd styling tools such as straighteners, hair dryers and curlers. It means clients can maintain their salon results at home, using the same professional-grade products their stylist recommends in the chair.
For anyone wanting hair that "earns a second look," Crew Stylists offers online booking through its website, alongside a phone line for anyone who'd rather call directly. With nearly a decade in The Mall and a specialism spanning colour, cutting, weddings and retail haircare, the salon continues to position itself as Queenstown's go-to for serious hair work.
