The Hair Diaries

Kia ora, I’m Christine — the heart, hands, and hustle behind The Hair Diaries.

With over 11 years of industry experience, I’m a fully qualified hairstylist with a deep love for all things hair. Whether it’s lived-in blondes, long dreamy layers, bold colour, or a fresh pixie cut, I’ve got you covered. I bring salon-quality skills into a relaxed, welcoming space where the vibes are good and the transformations are even better.

At The Hair Diaries, I don’t double-book or squeeze clients in — your appointment is your time. Every session is one-on-one, giving you my full attention from start to finish, so you can truly unwind and enjoy a personalised experience.

A little more about me? I’m a proud wife, fur mama to three gorgeous pups (Opie, Olive, and Ora), and a full-blown Vampire Diaries fangirl — which might explain the name 😉.

This is my first time stepping out on my own after years in busy salons, and I’m so excited to bring a more personal and passionate touch to every appointment. If you know me, you know: I’m hair obsessed — and your hair is in safe, stylish hands.

Christine Glew

Owner/ Operator Hairstylist

Hi there, I'm Christine. A bit about me? I am a full time wife, a loving Fur mum to my 3 Fur babies (Opie, Olive & Ora) & a huuuge Vampire Diaries fan if you couldn't tell... I am a fully qualified hairstylist & have been hairdressing for over 11 years. I'm hair obsessed, if you know me you know this first hand! I specialise in blondes & long hair but that doesn't stop me from loving everything in between from short pixie cuts to colourful hair!
