Over two decades of expertise. One-on-one, personalised care in a private and welcoming space.
With over two decades of experience and more than 4,000 clients styled throughout New Zealand and beyond, Yasuyo Shoemaker brings a thoughtful, detail-focused approach to every person who sits in her chair.
Trained in Japan in 2000, Yasuyo mastered the art of hairdressing through advanced techniques and a deep commitment to detail and customer care. After moving to New Zealand in 2005, she built a loyal following through word-of-mouth and exceptional results — working in Auckland's CBD before opening her own space on Queen Street.
For 13 successful years she operated her city salon. Now based in Rolleston, Canterbury, Yasuyo offers a more personalised, one-on-one experience in a private and welcoming setting — helping you feel comfortable, confident, and looking your best.
Nanoplasty is the next evolution in hair smoothing — using advanced, formaldehyde-free technology to deeply nourish, repair, and realign the hair from within, delivering long-lasting smoothness, shine, and frizz control without compromising hair health.
Unlike traditional keratin treatments, nanoplasty works on a molecular level, infusing essential nutrients and amino acids to strengthen and restore the hair's natural structure.
