RH Hairdressing
Ko wai tātou / Who are We?
RH Hairdressing began its journey in 2019 from Brisbane, Australia.
When coming back to Aotearoa in 2020 RHH's vision was to deliver exceptional service and the highest hairdressing experience.
While this is still very much the vision, it has evolved since then. Still holding those values, RH has also focused on making the salon a safe space.
Emotionally, physically and spiritually safe for all peoples.
