Step into Artisan Brown Hair Design on Glenmore Drive and the first thing you notice is the atmosphere: relaxing music, beautiful surroundings and stylists who genuinely want to hear about the look you're after. This Warkworth hair salon and barber shop serves clients from across the district — Warkworth itself, Auckland, Matakana and the surrounding areas — and has built its reputation on quality customer service, honesty and superior knowledge and skill.
The team's approach is straightforward. Highly trained hair stylists take the time to listen, offer tips and advice, and recommend outstanding natural products to help maintain and enhance your natural style and beauty. The goal, as they put it, is for every client to walk out not only looking and feeling great, but feeling their highest expectations have been met — with a big smile on their face.
Artisan Brown is committed to using only the best hair products available. The focus is on high-quality, eco-friendly, cruelty-free, paraben- and sulphate-free ranges, with brands like NAK, Kevin Murphy and Keune featuring in the salon. It's part of a philosophy that what goes on your hair matters as much as what happens to it in the chair.
That commitment carries through the treatment menu. "When we put your hair through treatment, it really is just that," the team says — nutrient-rich blends designed to make hair look its absolute best, from deep conditioning treatments through to balayage, foils, retouches and toners.
The hair services list covers just about everything a household needs: women's cuts and styling (including dry cuts and restyles), shampoo and blow waves, ghd straightening or curling, children's dry cuts for ages 0-12 and student rates for 13-18 year olds, men's cuts with a blow-dry finish, shampoo and sets, and wedding hair ups arranged by consultation.
Colour and treatment services run deep, too. Balayage, retouches, toners, t-section, half head and full head foils, roots-to-ends colour and permanent waves for both short and long hair sit alongside finishing touches like eyebrow and eyelash tinting. If there's a service not covered on the list, the salon invites you to call and discuss your requirements with their senior stylists.
Alongside the salon floor sits one of its points of difference: a dedicated barber shop. Artisan Brown describes it as "a new take on the traditional barber shop" — a clean, minimalist space that takes men's barbering to a more modern level while keeping the old-school values. It's your barber space, they say: come in, read the men's magazines, have a drink, listen to some good tunes and enjoy the complete male grooming experience.
The barber menu runs from a dry barber cut and buzz cut through to wash, cut and style, men's restyles, razor and skin fades, kids' cuts for under-10s and students under 18. For something special, the hot towel razor shave is a traditional treat (appointment only), while the executive service bundles a cut, wash and style with a cold drink and a razor line-up — the full works, also by appointment.
The salon operates Monday to Friday from 9am to 5pm, with late nights until 7pm on Tuesdays and Thursdays — after 5pm by appointment only. It's closed on Saturdays and Sundays, and walk-ins aren't taken in the 30 minutes before closing. Bookings are recommended and can be made by phone on 09-425-7174 or by email.
A couple of house rules keep the diary running smoothly: 48 hours' notice is required to change or cancel an appointment (by email if the salon is closed), and anyone running more than 15 minutes late may need to reschedule — particularly during busy periods like Christmas and weekends. Children's and student pricing doesn't apply on Saturdays or late nights.
Whether it's the family's regular cuts, a full colour transformation or a hot towel shave with a cold drink in hand, Artisan Brown Hair Design aims to be Warkworth's local answer to hair excellence — one well-earned break from a hectic lifestyle at a time.
