Artists,

We are a modern hair salon crafting effortlessly good hair in the heart of Tauranga.

Cutting
& Styling.

We’ve refined our craft on the floors of salons internationally. From organic curls to precision lines, we learned from the best to bring you the best.

Colour Specialists.

From grey blending to freehand balayage, we curate the perfect colour to elevate your natural style. We exclusively use O&M colours that are kind to you, and the planet.

Treatments.

A good hair day is good for the soul. Tame the frizz, bring back the shine or boost volume by adding an organic O&M or Clever Curls treatment to your cut or colour service.

We are Gato Loco.

We’re proud to be part of sustainable salons, and exclusively use clean hair products to nourish your hair naturally.  

Curious cats and creatives at heart, we make good hair look effortless, and we love what we do.
