We assess your hair's condition, texture and history first, then plan a service that fits your hair and your routine. No rushing, no guesswork.
Structural, geometric cuts built to grow out well. From sharp shapes to soft layering, the focus is a cut that still sits right weeks later.
Clean blondes, balayage and creative colour using bond-building systems, so we can push the look without wrecking the condition of your hair.
Colour and styling that handle a busy Auckland schedule, with treatments to keep hair healthy against pollution, heat tools and time.
From a quick tidy-up to a full transformation. Prices are a starting guide; your stylist confirms at consultation.
Reserve a time online in seconds, or call the team for a chat about what you want.
We assess your hair's condition, texture and history, then talk through realistic options.
Cut, colour, smoothing or extensions, done with the precision Laboratorie is known for.
Walk out with a finished style, plus simple advice for keeping it looking good at home.
Not sure which one you need? Here's what each service is and who it suits. Your stylist will confirm the right option at your consultation.
A single, even tone worked from root to tip. The clean way to shift your base warmer, cooler or deeper, or to take grey out of the picture in one pass.
Freehand lightening painted to fall where the sun would catch it. The regrowth stays soft, so you can stretch the time between appointments.
Foils packed through the whole head for the most lift and dimension we can build. The pick when you want a clear, head-turning change.
The technical work: lifting out brass, evening up bands and undoing colour that's gone wrong. Planned carefully so the condition holds.
Lift concentrated up top and around the face, where most of the brightness reads. Dimension without committing to a full head.
Vivids, statement tones and anything off the standard chart. Mapped over one or more sittings so we get there without frying the hair.
A treatment that relaxes frizz and cuts your styling time right down. Hair sits smoother and behaves through humidity. Coloured hair welcome.
A permanent straightening system for hair that stays genuinely sleek, not just on the day. Built to hold through everyday wear and weather.
Curtain, blunt or wispy, cut to your growth pattern and face shape so it sits right and grows out cleanly rather than awkwardly.
A bob built on its geometry, one-length or graduated, cut to keep its line as it grows. Sharp on day one and weeks later.
Length and thickness added with luxury wefts, colour-matched and placed to sit flat and move naturally. Fitted, not just clipped in.
Blow-waves, up-dos and event hair engineered to last the distance. Balls, weddings and long days, set to hold from photos to last dance.
A small, skilled team who take the time to get it right. Rochelle is the name clients ask for most, but every chair here comes recommended. Book with a name you've heard good things about, or let us match you to the right stylist for what you want.
The name clients ask for again and again. Rochelle covers it all, from cuts and colour to keratin and nanoplasty smoothing, and she's the one people trust to fix colour or a cut that's gone wrong elsewhere. Clients talk about how well she listens, talks through what's realistic, then delivers exactly what they asked for.
A favourite for cuts and colour, long-cuts especially. Clients come back to Dammika visit after visit and leave happy with both the colour and the cut. Easy to talk to and good at getting the result right the first time.
The cut clients recommend to their flatmates. Monica is known for the kind of haircut you don't stop thinking about, and she also does wedding hair and makeup, so she's a great call for your big day as well as your regular cut.
Every client gets a proper coffee, made the way you like it. Whether you're mid-colour or waiting for a friend, there's a hot drink and a comfortable seat with your name on it. We're in Kingsland, after all. We take coffee seriously.
Flat white, long black, mocha or a tea if that's more your thing. Just ask and we'll sort it.
Comfortable seating for clients and anyone waiting. Take your time, it's part of the visit.
We'd rather you relaxed than watched the clock. Good hair takes the time it takes.
Laboratorie sits on New North Road in the middle of Kingsland, steps from Kingsland Station on the Western Line. If you'd rather not drive, the train drops you almost at our door.
One of Auckland's best little villages. Close enough to the city to be easy, far enough out to have its own character. Some of the best cafes and restaurants in town are a short walk from the chair, so plan to stay a while.
Some of the city's favourite cafes are right on New North Road. Grab brunch before your appointment or coffee after.
From quick bites to proper dinners, the Kingsland strip has it covered. Make your visit the start of the day out.

Bigger jobs like a full colour change, extensions or a smoothing treatment don't have to land in one hit. Afterpay and Zip split the cost into four interest-free payments, so a $400 service is four lots of $100 a fortnight.
The present that's impossible to get wrong. They choose the service, the stylist and the timing, and it spends on anything we do, from a blow wave to a full colour correction or a smoothing treatment.
A monthly plan from the April's Hair Salon Group, which Laboratorie is part of. Two professional blow waves, a full-size product to take home and money off everything else, all for one flat rate. Use it here in Kingsland or at any April's salon in the country.
