Behind every great result is a great stylist — and at Revolver Hair Studio, we’ve built a team that combines international experience, ongoing education, and a genuine passion for hair. Based in the heart of Arrowtown’s Buckingham Street, we’re proud to be the salon that locals and visitors trust most in Central Otago.
Creative Director Lauren
Revolver Hair Studio was founded by Creative Director Lauren, who brings over 25 years of international hairdressing experience to every client interaction. Having trained and worked in salons across the world, Lauren returned to Central Otago with a clear vision: to create a boutique studio that operates at a genuinely world-class standard — without the pretension that sometimes comes with luxury.
Lauren specialises in colour — particularly blondes and balayage — and oversees all training and standards within the studio. If you want to understand what makes Revolver different, spending time with Lauren is the quickest way to find out.
A Team Built on Education
The hairdressing industry evolves constantly — new techniques, new products, new ways of achieving results that were impossible a decade ago. At Revolver, we invest heavily in ongoing education for every team member. Our stylists attend industry events, complete regular brand training with Moroccanoil, and are encouraged to push their skills continuously.
This commitment to education means you’re not just getting a stylist who learned their craft years ago and stopped developing — you’re getting someone who is genuinely at the forefront of what’s possible in 2026.
Our Connection to the Global Hair Industry
Revolver has cultivated strong connections within the global professional hair industry, including a close partnership with Moroccanoil. These connections keep us informed, educated, and inspired — and they translate directly into better outcomes for our clients. When we adopt a new technique or product, it’s because we’ve seen the evidence and we believe in it.
