About Fringe Studio

Fringe Studio is a local hair studio on Papamoa Beach Road in Papamoa East, Tauranga, welcoming clients since its doors opened in February 2018. The team is a relaxed and friendly group of stylists dedicated to excellence, bringing more than 19 years of industry experience and promising every client great service and advice.

The salon offers a full range of hairdressing services for both male and female hair: cuts, colour, styling, straightening, plus wedding and ball and formal dos for special occasions. Each appointment is tailored to reflect your unique style, personality and lifestyle rather than following a one-size-fits-all formula.

Clients describe a modern, peaceful salon with an awesome atmosphere, lovely ladies, delicious coffee and easy chit chat — with first-time visitors saying they came away feeling really amazing, and regulars (including couples) reporting they are always happy with their cut.

To keep hair looking great between visits, Fringe Studio stocks a select range of haircare products, including the Wild Colour and Angel ranges, and accepts Afterpay. Bookings can be made by phone, email or online via Fresha.

Fringe Studio: Papamoa's Friendly Local Hair Salon for Cuts, Colour and Occasion Hair

Fringe Studio sits on Papamoa Beach Road in Papamoa East, Tauranga, and has been welcoming clients through its doors since February 2018. In that time it has grown into exactly what a neighbourhood salon should be: a relaxed, friendly place where you can get a great cut, a fresh colour or a fancy do for a special occasion — and, as the team puts it, leave feeling even more fabulous than when you arrived.

The studio is run by a team of stylists who describe themselves as relaxed, friendly and dedicated to excellence. Between them they bring more than 19 years of industry experience, and their promise is simple: great service and sound advice for every client, whether it is a first visit or one of many.

A full range of hairdressing services

Fringe Studio specialises in both male and female hair, making it a genuine salon for the whole household. The service list covers the essentials done well — haircuts, styling, colour and straightening — along with wedding hair and ball and formal dos for life's big occasions. Whatever you book in for, each appointment is tailored to reflect your unique style, personality and lifestyle rather than following a set formula.

That tailored approach runs through everything the salon does, from consultation through to the finished style. It is a large part of why clients keep coming back, and why so many reviews mention leaving happier than they expected to.

Papamoa locals don't need to travel far for quality hairdressing, either. The salon's spot on Papamoa Beach Road puts it in easy reach of Papamoa East and the surrounding Tauranga suburbs, and its role as your local hair studio is something the team embraces — this is hairdressing rooted in the community it serves.

The salon experience

The salon itself is modern and peaceful, right in Papamoa East. Reviews from the salon's own clients paint a clear picture of what a visit feels like. One first-timer described an incredible cut and colour, an awesome atmosphere with lovely ladies and — as a real bonus — delicious coffee and easy chit chat, saying she came away feeling really amazing and would be recommending Fringe Studio to everyone. Another client has been bringing her husband along for cuts and reports that neither of them has ever left a session disappointed, adding warm praise for the upbeat personality behind the chair.

First impressions clearly matter here: the studio opened in February 2018 and was collecting glowing reviews within weeks. It is that combination of technical skill and genuine warmth that Fringe Studio trades on, and the team is proud to have met many clients from the local community and beyond since opening.

Haircare between visits

To keep your hair looking great between salon visits, Fringe Studio stocks a select range of haircare products, including the Wild Colour and Angel ranges. If you are not sure which products suit your hair, the stylists are happy to point you in the right direction during your appointment. The salon also accepts Afterpay, making it easier to fit a colour or a big-occasion do into the budget.
