A Full-Service Hair Salon, Here for You
Maeve started freelancing over 15 years ago working at a hair extensions salon in Ponsonby to working full time focusing on extensions. The passion for hair has grown over the years. Her expertise and professionalism in her chosen craft has made her one of the most reputable hair extension specialists in the business. She takes pride in all of her work and works to the clients vision to absolute perfection. She expects nothing but the best for her clientele and this philosophy has extended to the business incorporating full hairdressing services to enable clients to experience a one stop shop for hair.
“My journey with hair extensions began from personal experience. I naturally have thin hair around the crown area, and as I got older and became a mother, my hair thinning became even more noticeable. Alongside the many factors that can contribute to hair loss, I also struggled with anaemia, which made the issue even more challenging. It felt like trying to keep afloat while dealing with multiple leaks at once — I needed all the help I could get.
While I focused on improving my hair health through iron infusions, a healthy diet, quality haircare products, and supplements, I found that hair extensions gave me something immediate: confidence. They helped me feel like myself again. That boost in confidence reduced my stress and brought me joy, which I truly believe positively impacted my overall wellbeing and hair journey. Over time, I noticed less shedding and healthier hair habits.
As the years went on, perimenopause also began to affect my hair, and in 2024 I underwent a hair transplant procedure to restore my uneven hairline, which had developed into permanent thinning before I fully understood the importance of long-term hair care. If I could go back and give my younger self advice, it would be to start prioritising hair health much earlier — it’s never too early to begin looking after your hair.
This personal journey is what inspired my passion for hair extensions and hair health education. I made it my mission to never stop learning — not only about extensions, but about hair health as a whole. I want to educate both women and men on the importance of caring for their hair, using the right products, seeking professional guidance, and finding solutions before stress and hair loss begin affecting confidence and wellbeing.
The most rewarding part of my work is witnessing the transformation in my clients. It’s not just about the external change — it’s about seeing their confidence return from within. I’ve worked with many clients experiencing alopecia, menopause-related thinning, and naturally fine hair, and being part of their transformation journey is incredibly fulfilling.
There is something truly magical about seeing a client light up with confidence almost instantly after their transformation. That feeling is what continues to inspire me every day.
Our Founding Principles
Premium service and quality products are paramount to us at Andrew Mae. Being in the industry for almost the last two decades, our passion for hair extensions never ceases. We strive to always be at the forefront of innovation when it comes to new methods and hair types. We continuously research to bring you the best cuticle remy and double drawn human hair extensions at the best possible prices.
Being the specialists in hair extensions, we offer many different types, both temporary and permanent so there's always a solution to meet your needs. Each method of extensions has its pros and cons and its a matter of knowing and selecting the right method that suits your budget, lifestyle and hair condition.
We understand that permanent hair extensions can be a long term commitment, therefore we recommend you take advantage of our free consultation under no obligation to be fully informed. With our permanent extensions, the hair can be straightened, curled, coloured, bleached, and styled. Given the same method of extensions, the way we apply them will vary depending on the hair condition, length, style, and how you wear it.
Our Founding Principles
Sustainability
All aluminium, foil colour tubes, cardboard, paper magazines, razor blades, unwanted tools and select disposables are recycled. We are always looking at ways to reduce our salon footprint. Select disposable hygiene products used during treatments are pulled apart and the materials are sent for repurposing. Plastic packaging is sent to specialist local plastic recyclers where it's cleaned and made into outdoor furniture, landscape supplies and new product packaging, keeping it in circulation and out of our oceans!
Community
We send ponytails to charitable organisations such as Variety the Children's Charity to be made into charitable wigs or to fund life-changing programs. We want to provide a cost-effective alternative to hair transplants for patients with alopecia, cancer and everyday hair loss.
No Waste
We donate to charities and give back to people with hair loss by donating long hair that has been cut to be made into wigs and weaves for those suffering from cancer, alopecia, and other medical conditions.
