Hi there, I'm Abbey.

Owner/Operator and resident of Studio Rata

I grew up here in Otatara and began hairdressing in Invercargill many moons ago. Once qualified I flew the nest to Perth for 11 years. It is here that I learnt all the tricks for dimensional colour and perfecting the beauty of colours well as gaining knowledge for all hair-types with a passion for cutting.

 

Returning back to Southland was always a must for me and now being able to create a dream studio in an environment that I can call my home is a real treat.

The land of Studio Rata has been in my family for almost 60 years and its a honour to continue working on the land like my Grandparents did.

In a nutshell, At Studio Rata I strive to put all my knowledge and experience into every client empowering them to feel the best they can.

 

For all the Greenies - I am very aware of the impact hair-salons have on the environment and choose to promote brands that help minimise our foot print and have sustainable practices.

I welcome all walks of life and cannot wait to have you all enjoy the surroundings of Studio Rata, as well as sharing my expert knowledge for you and your hair.
