Introducing Kate
Here's a rewritten version:
Welcome to Superhair0 — your dedicated destination for exceptional hair and makeup services, and your personal "superhero" for all things beauty.
Superhair0 is owned and operated by Kate Drayton, an award-winning hairstylist and makeup artist with nearly 20 years of experience in the industry. Qualified with a National Certificate in Hairdressing and a Diploma in Makeup Artistry, Kate has built her reputation on creativity, skill, and a genuine passion for making people look and feel their absolute best. Her expertise has been recognised through multiple awards in long hair styling and editorial work, and she continually pushes her craft forward through advanced training — including polished skills developed under Melbourne's renowned hair styling extraordinaire, Justine Wolf.
Based in the breathtaking Wānaka region, Kate offers mobile hair and makeup services — and now onsite at her home studio in Lake Hāwea — for weddings, special events, photoshoots, film productions, and runway shows across Wānaka, Queenstown, Cromwell, and Alexandra. Weddings are her most beloved service, and Kate takes real pride in making the experience fun, relaxed, and memorable as you prepare for your most special day. Whether you're dreaming of effortless natural beauty or full glam, she's here to bring that vision to life.
Here's the updated version keeping your opening and closing lines intact:
Beyond the chair, Kate has channelled her two decades of professional knowledge into founding Self Centred Hair Care— a New Zealand-made haircare line built on the belief that you should never have to choose between high-performing products and clean ingredients. Inspired by the natural landscape of Aotearoa, each formula pairs active New Zealand botanical extracts with pure essential oils chosen as much for their therapeutic aromatherapy benefits as their performance — turning an everyday wash into a sensory ritual you actually look forward to.
Sulphate-free, silicone-free, paraben-free, and proudly formulated in New Zealand, every product is a direct reflection of what Kate has learned matters most to hair health after a lifetime behind the chair.
Kate also spent time as a ski instructor and passionate snow sports enthusiast — perfectly at home in the mountain landscape. Kate is a proud mum to two young children and is deeply committed to her community, donating her time and skills to local charity events including Stars in Your Eyes, having shaved her head for a Cancer Society fundraiser, and organising hair-cutting events to raise additional funds for the cause.
Tuesday through Thursday you'll find Kate at her home studio in Lake Hāwea, where she offers all aspects of hairdressing alongside her special event and bridal work. To talk through your ideas for your Wānaka wedding or upcoming event, reach out — your perfect look is just a conversation away.
