Shine Hair Consultants & Design

		 		Owner/Operator April Collie moved to Wellington to pursue her dream of opening her own salon. Shortly after moving she opened April Hairdressing in early 1998. A quaint, one stylist salon that provided the locals of Oriental Bay and the wider Wellington area, with a little oasis from the hustle and bustle of inner city life. Buddi the budgie was a client favourite! April had the desire to expand her business and share her passion and skills with new stylists and students who showed a keen interest in hairdressing. In 2000 April welcomed a new senior stylist and an apprentice to her team. The rename "Shine Hair Consultants and Design" soon followed in late 2000. Shine has continued to grow over the past 15 years, now with 4 senior stylists and an apprentice all under the keen tutelage of April herself. April has always been an avid supporter of education, providing her stylists with the opportunity to attend seminars including the Sydney Hair Expo in 2006 and encouraging them to challenge their skills through hair competitions. Shine stylist have been very successful in the past with competitions including placing 1st in multiple events. Over the past 2 years April has made many changes to Shine to provide her clients with the most luxurious experience possible. From interior renovations to the introduction of the massage chair. Shine has become a premier boutique salon and provides clients with a quality one on one, personalised hair service. Celebrating Shine{s 10th birthday was such a mile stone for April in 2008 and now we are approaching the fifteen year mark. April is grateful for the support she has received from all of you over the years and is looking forward to fifteen more!
