About HUDDA Studio
Where expertise meets elegance
HUDDA Studio is a boutique hair salon in the heart of Katikati, created by Aarron and Kate Fenwick.
Located at 21A Carisbrooke Street, HUDDA Studio has been designed as a calm, elegant and personal space where clients can enjoy expert hairdressing in a relaxed one-on-one setting.
With soft tones, classic details and a refined studio feel, HUDDA is a fresh new chapter built around experience, care and beautifully finished hair.
At the centre of the studio is Aarron Fenwick, an experienced stylist with more than 35 years in the hairdressing industry. Having worked in London and owned high-end salons in Tauranga and Mount Maunganui, Aarron brings a wealth of knowledge, creativity and confidence to every appointment.
HUDDA Studio offers expert colour, precision cutting and polished styling, with each service tailored to the individual. Aarron takes the time to listen, understand your hair, offer honest advice and create a result that feels flattering, wearable and uniquely yours.
For us, HUDDA Studio is about more than hair. It is about connection, trust and creating a space where clients feel comfortable, cared for and confident.
Whether you are visiting for a fresh colour, a beautiful cut, a restyle or a simple refresh, HUDDA Studio offers classic hairdressing with a personal touch.
About Aarron
Aarron Fenwick has spent more than 35 years doing what he loves.
Starting his hairdressing career at just 15, Aarron has built a reputation for his approachable nature, expert eye and calm, confident approach behind the chair.
His experience spans London, Tauranga and Mount Maunganui, including years spent working in and owning high-end salon environments. Over that time, Aarron has developed a strong understanding of colour, shape, texture and finish, and he knows how to create hair that works beautifully in real life.
Aarron’s strengths lie in colour, cutting and styling, with a focus on tailoring each appointment to the person in front of him. He believes great hair starts with listening well, understanding what a client wants, and offering professional guidance that feels honest and achievable.
Outside the salon, Aarron enjoys golf, fishing and spending time around the Bay of Plenty.
At HUDDA Studio, he is excited to welcome clients into a fresh, elegant space where experience, care and attention to detail come together.
About Kate
In the background
While Aarron is behind the chair, Kate brings her experience in business, brand, communication and client care to HUDDA Studio.
Kate has lived in Katikati for more than 37 years and has a deep connection to the local community. While she also runs her own business and is not always on the salon floor, HUDDA Studio is very much a family venture, with Kate, Aarron and their children, Daniel and Lewys, Kates Dad Tim, all part of the story.
Kate has always loved the experience of being a client in a hair salon: the chance to pause, be cared for, have a good conversation and leave feeling better than when you arrived. Her love of warm, welcoming spaces has helped shape HUDDA into a salon that feels calm, classic and considered.
Together, Aarron and Kate wanted to create a sustainable salon that felt personal, elegant and grounded in genuine care. A place where clients can relax, feel listened to and enjoy high-quality hairdressing without the rush.
HUDDA Studio is proudly locally owned and family-run.
