Claire
Claire started her hairdressing career in the UK in 2005. She mainly did colour work while working in Salons on the South Coast. After moving to NZ Claire managed a Barbershop for several years before opening The Cutting Bar. This is where she found her passion for cutting, but always missed doing colour work, so opening The Cutting Bar has allowed her to combine her favorite aspects from Salons and Barbershops.

Vanessa
Vanessa is originally from Golden bay where she did her hairdressing training. She now has over 20 years’ experience working in Salons and Barbershops in Australia and New Zealand. She is great at cutting Men’s hair and Ladies short funky styles. She also understands that not every client likes to talk lots so if you prefer a quieter haircut Vanessa is the one to book with.
