HI, I’M NIGEL RUSSELL
Auckland’s Curly Hair & Scalp Specialist
I’ve been in the hairdressing industry for 40 years and a qualified Trichologist (Hair & Scalp Specialist) for 25 years.
As well as teaching and educating for some of the major hair companies in Australia, I’ve owned a successful award winning salon in Sydney for 15 years.
This is where I first became interested in cutting naturally curly hair…
After returning to New Zealand, I began work as a Platinum Stylist for the Servilles group and tutored part time in their academy for over 10 years.
I’ve always preferred using natural, organic, sulfate-free products, and in 2006 I went on to create a natural hair care range Holistic Hair.
I’m a keen advocate for the ‘dry cut first’ method, and have had several articles published on how to cut curly hair. I’ve used this method for over 20 years now, as I prefer to work with the hairs natural movement.
Along with my specialised curly hair and trichology services, I now offer a new natural hair care range which is chemical free and CG friendly. I’m constantly tweaking these products to suit the demands of curly, wavy and hard to manage hair.
