Team
Our friendly team of talented and experienced stylists and colour experts know their stuff when it comes to cutting, colouring and styling hair.
Craig Stinson
Craig started Calibre in 1995 and has been working in the hair industry for over 30 years. He has been a NZ Hairdresser of the Year finalist and is currently a member of the Hairdressing Industry Advisory Board. As a stylist he loves a challenge, fine hair and a good chat.
Suzanne Grealish
Salon Manager at Queens Wharf, Suzanne trained at Toni & Guy in Ireland before being lured back to Wellington to join the founding team at Calibre. Highly experienced, she’s a precision stylist (our salon perfectionist) who is ‘all about the cut’ and especially loves working with curly hair.
Zara Levy
Zara is Partner and Salon Manager of Calibre Hataitai. She joined the Calibre team as an apprentice and hasn’t looked back. Her passion is colour and she’s a talented and experienced stylist who loves delivering a city-salon experience in the heart of the Hataitai Village.
RJ Laris
RJ started in hairdressing back in the ’90’s and has been part of the Calibre team since September ’99. As a stylist he enjoys cutting styles that suit the lifestyle of his clients, from short and straight to long and curly, men’s fades to sharp beards, colour to help you feel natural, to colour to get a reaction! Nothing fazes him.
Liis Ojaste
Liis (like please but without the ‘p’ ) is originally from Estonia. A hairdresser for 12 years, she’s worked in London, Australia and now New Zealand. Creative colouring, upstyles and big transformations get her excited, but Liis also loves creating classical, ageless styles for clients.
Jamie Lee Hutchins
Native Wellingtonian Jamie is based at our Hataitai salon. An experienced stylist, Jamie really enjoys doing fashion colours, wedding and ball hair, and big hair makeovers. Her favourite go-to product is Sebastian Potion 9.
Kyra Tibble
Kyra is a first year graduate in the second year of her apprenticeship. Hailing from Gisborne originally, she has been living and loving Wellington since moving here in 2019. Kyra has always loved fashion and the fashion industry and is excited to be part of the Calibre crew.
