Bravado Hair Salon was born from a vision to create a space where luxury meets sustainability, offering high-end hair services without compromising environmental responsibility.

The salon was founded in 2019 by Regan (left) and Dan (right) in Whangārei, Aotearoa New Zealand, with the goal of redefining the hair industry—blending expert craftsmanship with eco-conscious values.

Meet the Founders

As the leader on the floor in the salon, Dan not only sets the standard for quality but also nurtures a welcoming, innovative space where both clients and the team thrive.

The supporting force behind the scenes, Regan ensures everything from salon operations to the digital experience runs as smooth as possible.

Bravado Hair Salon started as a dream—a vision to create more than just a salon, but a space where luxury, sustainability and exceptional service come together. We wanted to build a place where clients feel seen, heard and confident, knowing they’re receiving the highest level of care while supporting an eco-conscious business.

From the very beginning, we knew Bravado had to be different. By partnering with Davines and Sustainable Salons, we made a commitment to high-performance, ethically sourced products and minimising our environmental impact. We also set out to curate a team of passionate, skilled stylists who share our belief in ongoing education, innovation and truly personalised experiences.

As Bravado grew, so did our dream. With an ever-expanding loyal clientele and a growing team, by 2024 we knew it was time to evolve. Moving to 14 Clyde Street was a defining moment—allowing us to create a stunning, elevated space that not only serves more clients but enhances their entire experience. From the moment someone walks in, we want them to feel welcomed, relaxed and pampered.

Bravado is more than just a salon to us; it’s a community. It’s a place where hair artistry meets sustainability, where every client leaves feeling their best and where we get to do what we love every single day.
