Carolyn, owner and senior stylist at Babalon for Hair, Redcliffs Christchurch

The Stylist

Carolyn. Cuts. Colour. Counsel.

Cape Town–trained, twenty years in New Zealand chairs. One chair, by appointment, no rotation — the way she always wanted to work.

Carolyn trained in Cape Town and built her craft across two decades of New Zealand chairs. Babalon is her independent practice — one chair, by appointment, run from inside Black Suede House of Hair on Main Road in Redcliffs. The same stylist every visit. No rotation, no double-booking.

The shorter version: Carolyn opened Babalon because the chair she wanted to work from didn't exist yet. One client at a time. The same stylist every visit. No watching the room for the next appointment.

The fuller version is being written with her directly. This page will deepen as she shares more of the story — training lineage, the move across an ocean, the clients who came with her over twenty years of New Zealand chairs.

— In her words

"I opened Babalon because the chair I wanted to work from didn't exist yet. So I built it."

— Last call

Book the chair. Carolyn awaits.

Babalon is by appointment. The salt-air slot is closer than you think.
