The exciting news has swept across Auckland’s North Shore: **Hair Intentions**, a salon deeply rooted in the Rothesay Bay and Browns Bay communities, renowned for its personal touch and high-quality craftsmanship, has been acquired by the **Aprils Hair Salons Group**. This strategic move is not a change of heart, but an amplification of promise. We want every loyal client to know, unequivocally, that this is the **same Hair Intentions you’ve come to know and love**, simply fortified with the robust resources, advanced education, and expanded client conveniences of a leading national group. The familiar, expert stylists remain in their chairs, the welcoming atmosphere is unchanged, but the service offering is now richer, more innovative, and more flexible than ever before. This is a seamless transition designed entirely to enhance your experience in the heart of the North Shore.
Aprils Hair Salons Group's decision to integrate Hair Intentions was driven by a mutual respect for unparalleled client relationships and technical excellence. Hair Intentions has always been a beacon of community-focused, bespoke hair design. By joining the Aprils family, these high standards are protected, while the team gains immediate access to global industry training, cutting-edge product lines, and state-of-the-art client management systems. For residents of Rothesay Bay and Browns Bay, this fusion guarantees that their local salon is now internationally informed, while retaining its essential local flavour.
đź“Ť Deep Local Roots: Rothesay Bay and Browns Bay
Our commitment to Rothesay Bay and Browns Bay reflects a dedication to two distinct, yet equally discerning North Shore communities. Hair Intentions' established presence in these suburbs means we inherently understand the local style, from the sophisticated, low-maintenance looks required for busy professionals in Rothesay Bay to the vibrant, trend-led requests common in the commercial hub of Browns Bay. Our strategic continuity ensures we perfectly meet the needs of both.
Tailored Service in Two Key Locations:
- Rothesay Bay: A Sanctuary for Sophistication: Our salon here provides a relaxing, private atmosphere, perfectly suited for clients seeking in-depth colour services, structured haircuts, and restorative treatments. The focus is on quality over quantity, ensuring every visit is a luxurious retreat. The stylists here excel in creating classic, yet modern, looks that thrive with minimal daily effort.
- Browns Bay: The Hub of Coastal Trends: Located closer to the commercial activity, this salon caters to a more dynamic clientele. Here, our experts frequently execute bold transformations, fashion colours, and intricate up-styling. It’s the perfect place for cutting-edge trends, backed by the technical reassurance of the Aprils Group.
- Unifying Quality: Regardless of location, every Aprils salon upholds a five-star standard of cleanliness, luxury, and professional conduct. The seamless integration of Hair Intentions guarantees that this elevated client journey is consistent across both Rothesay Bay and Browns Bay.
🏆 North Shore's Elite: The Unified Aprils & Hair Intentions Team
The single most valuable component of this acquisition is the combined collective of our highly skilled stylists. The renowned professionals from Hair Intentions now operate shoulder-to-shoulder with the master technicians of the Aprils Group. This collaboration has created an unparalleled hub of talent, offering an extraordinary depth of experience across the widest range of hair services in the Rothesay Bay and Browns Bay areas. The client promise is simple: the familiar trust you placed in the Hair Intentions team is now backed by a national powerhouse of continual education.
Masters of Art and Science: The Aprils Education Advantage:
Every stylist in our unified team, including beloved local experts, benefits from the Aprils Education Academy. This intensive program is dedicated to ensuring total proficiency in the latest global techniques, transcending local trends to offer world-class expertise. The training includes detailed modules on advanced colour theory, hair biology, and customised client mapping, guaranteeing a prescriptive approach to every head of hair.
Bespoke Blonding & Colour Correction
Our stylists are specialists in complex blonding services, mastering techniques such as **Micro-Foiling** for seamless dimension and **AirTouch** to achieve ultra-blended, natural grow-outs. We confidently manage and correct difficult colour scenarios, restoring hair health and achieving perfect, customised hues.
Precision Cuts & Textural Design
Fusing the best of classic barbering and modern architectural cutting, our team excels at structural cuts that suit the individual's bone structure and hair type. We create tailored looks, from sharp angular bobs to layered movement that requires minimal effort outside the salon, delivering true wash-and-wear style.
Advanced Hair Health & Extensions
Beyond styling, we are hair health advocates. We offer a full suite of services including luxury hair extensions (tapes, weaves, microbeads) applied with maximum care, and transformative texture treatments like **Keratin Smoothing** and the non-chemical **Qi Qi** system for ultimate longevity and integrity.
**Elevated Consultation: The Foundation of Excellence:** At the heart of our service is the consultation. Our stylists are not just technicians; they are design partners. They engage in a meticulous diagnostic process, covering everything from water quality at your home to your styling routine and long-term hair goals. This comprehensive approach, a shared commitment from the Hair Intentions heritage, ensures the final result is a true collaboration—stunning, healthy, and perfectly tailored to your North Shore lifestyle.

Investing in luxury hair services, particularly multi-hour appointments like full balayage, extensive foiling, or permanent hair smoothing, can be substantial. To eliminate financial strain and encourage proactive hair care, all our Rothesay Bay and Browns Bay salons proudly offer **Afterpay** and **Zip Pay**. This means clients can:
