Toni
Premier Stylist & Founder
I proudly opened TLC’s doors in 2015 and the salon has been growing ever since, not to mention myself as a stylist and business owner. Having been in the industry over a decade and a half, I have continued to attend educational courses that help me to keep my knowledge of the industry up to date, including the ever advancing technology behind professional hair colour and hair-care. I believe in truly knowing and understanding you brand. As well as continuing to grow my technical skills in cutting, colouring and styling, I also frequently attend business management and leadership courses to make sure I am the best leader I can be for my team.
Education is so important to me and as the owner/leader. I ensure my team are also attending regular training sessions or educational courses. Keeping up to date with the latest trends, colour and techniques. I believe in education and growth for my team.
I do my best to make sure that my team and I are 100% committed to creating a salon experience in which you feel pampered and relaxed.
Most importantly I believe in a thorough consultation with plenty of advice. The more your hairdresser knows about you and your hair, the better the outcome. This belief is instilled into my team so whoever you see, I promise you will feel listened to and offered home hair-care advice, plus styling tips if you need them. For me, it’s about growing a relationship with your client by listening and catering to your needs. It’s about using art, skill and knowledge, to achieve a look that gives someone outer beauty as well as helping to grow confidence in yourself to be the best version of YOU!”

Chantel
Premier Stylist
At the age of 16, I thankfully found myself a full time apprenticeship at Rodney Wayne in Auckland, working alongside many highly qualified hairdressers. It was so inspiring, as I learnt things only experience can teach.
Not long after I began my studies at Servilles academy. For me, it seemed like an industry that would forever be evolving. Endless education! Over the past 17 years I’ve attended many courses, keeping up with technology and trends.
I have a big passion for health, wellness and sustainability and I love working at a salon that shares the same ethics.
It’s so much more than just beautiful hair, getting to know each and every one of my clients personally is such an honour and to give them an experience & style that’s goes beyond their expectations.
I’ve recently returned to work after taking two years off to raise my young family, this was such a special time, and one I’ll always be grateful for. I also needed this time to reflect on my choice of career and my passion as a stylist is stronger than ever.
I come to work to create art, and that’s the dream.
Casidhe
Senior Stylist & Salon Coordinator
From a young age, I knew I wanted to be a hairstylist. I would often spend hours drawing pictures of the dream salon I envisioned working in. My passion for the hair and beauty industry has only grown stronger over the years. Now, as a professional hairstylist in Tauranga, I’m thrilled to bring that passion to life at TLC Hairdressing, a hair salon located in Pyes Pa. Working in such a supportive and kind environment, surrounded by equally passionate people, feels like a dream come true. We strive to offer the best hair salon services in Tauranga, and being part of that mission is incredibly rewarding.
Originally from Hamilton, I moved to Tauranga in early 2021 to start my hairdressing journey. Since joining the talented team at TLC Hairdressing, I have been able to pursue my love of all things hair. While I enjoy all aspects of hairdressing, I would say my strength lies in cutting and styling, and I especially love creating the perfect blowout. The creativity that comes with being a hairstylist allows me to channel my artistic side and have fun while doing so, making each day in the salon fulfilling and exciting.
For me, hairdressing is about much more than simply cutting hair—it’s about making people feel good. Looking good often translates to feeling good, and I aim to bring that confidence to each of my clients. I love being able to put a smile on someone’s face and help them leave the salon feeling a little more self-assured. Whether you’re after a fresh cut, a blowout, or simply a bit of pampering, my goal is to ensure you leave feeling relaxed and like the best version of yourself.

Billie
Emerging Stylist
Hi, I’m Billie! Born and raised in Tauranga, I decided to follow my dream of becoming a hairdresser at the age of 16 by studying full-time at Toi Ohomai. Since then, I’ve never looked back.
Outside of work, I love spending time at the beach and hanging out with my friends and family.
My journey to hairdressing
After completing my studies, I was thrilled to start my career at TLC Hairdressing, where I’ve been able to grow and thrive as part of an amazing team. Creativity has always been a big part of my life—from painting to experimenting with my own hair colours—and hairdressing has been the perfect way for me to combine my artistic side with my passion for connecting with people.
Why I love being a hairdresser
What I enjoy most about hairdressing is the chance to transform my clients’ looks with beautiful colours and styles that enhance their confidence. Seeing the happiness on a client’s face when they love their new hair is truly rewarding and inspires me every day.

Jayda
Apprentice
Hi, I’m Jayda, and I’m proud to be TLC Hairdressing’s apprentice and soon-to-be emerging stylist!
Having lived in Tauranga most of my life, I’ve always been passionate about hair. According to my mum, this love began when I was just 4 years old. Even now, as a young adult, I spend my free time doing hair for my friends and family. Hairdressing has always been a huge part of who I am, and I’m thrilled to continue learning and creating in this exciting industry.
A few fun facts about me:
1. As a child, I never liked anyone touching my hair (ironic, right?).
2. I’m a chatterbox—I love having great conversations.
3. Meeting new people is one of my favourite things.
4. In high school, I was the go-to person for braiding hair.
5. Baking is a passion of mine when I’m not styling hair.
6. Hairdressing, to me, is about helping people express themselves, and I love being part of that journey.
I feel incredibly lucky to be part of the TLC Hairdressing family in Tauranga. I’m so excited to meet clients and help them feel amazing about themselves through personalised styling and care.
