Hair Salon for Natural Colour & Cuts

We're tucked away on Cross Street in the Auckland CBD, we’re a hair salon that believes your hair should look good on a Wednesday, not just the day you leave the salon. No drama, no over-engineering. Just hair that looks like the best version of itself.

Hiem is co-owned by Whitney and Kurt, both with nearly 20 years in the industry and both deeply passionate about one thing: hair that works for your life. Whitney is a colour specialist who lives for dimensional blondes, rich brunettes, and that perfectly seamless balayage that looks like it grew that way. Kurt is your precision cut and blow dry guy known for his low-maintenance cutting techniques, a strong following of blondes, and the kind of honesty you actually want from your hairdresser. Between them, the full menu covers everything from foils, tints, and colour corrections to smoothing treatments, deep conditioning, and styling for any occasion. Come in for a trim, leave with a whole new relationship with your hair.

“Kurt is amazing, he’s done my hair multiple times and he always is able to achieve the perfect creamy blonde that I love! Couldn’t recommend them more!”

“I highly recommend this salon. The salon is very cozy and stylish, making you feel happy and calm while getting your hair done!

I had my hair highlighted by Hannah. From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed. Hannah took the time to listen to my hair’s history and what I wanted to achieve with my hair.”

“I’m a local and saw this hair salon a few months ago when I walked past. I usually go to a place on the shore but thought I’d give Hiem a try since it’s so close to my apartment. I really like the vibe and aesthetics of the place and the tea is 👌Super happy with my colour (done by Whitney), total pro. Would definitely recommend to others”
