ANCO STUDIO is a premium hair and beauty studio based in Auckland City, offering bespoke services in hair and beauty.
We delivers refined, thoughtful hair and beauty experiences for those who value detail, expertise, and genuine connection.
Most people only notice the blonde.
We pay attention to everything before it.
Not every part of a blonde appointment is glamorous—but some of the most important steps happen before the colour even begins.
Before every on-scalp bleach at ANCO Studio, we apply a protective scalp barrier to help:
• Protect the scalp from direct chemical contact
• Reduce irritation and discomfort during the service
• Create a more comfortable overall bleaching experience
And the best part?
We don’t charge extra for it. It’s already included with every on-scalp bleach appointment because we believe it should be a standard of care—not an upgrade.
Beautiful blonde hair starts with looking after both your hair and your scalp.

Your blonde appointment doesn’t end when you leave the salon. The first two weeks matter.
After an on-scalp bleach, both your scalp and freshly lightened hair need time to settle.
A little dryness or sensitivity can happen, but the way you care for your hair during the first two weeks can affect how it feels, how well it recovers, and how long your toner lasts.
Here’s what we recommend:
1. Be gentle with your scalp
Avoid scratching, aggressive rubbing, and very tight hairstyles for the first few days.
2. Use gentle, hydrating products
Choose a mild shampoo, nourishing conditioner, and any bond-building or reparative treatment recommended by your stylist.
3. Don’t overwash
Wash only when needed and use lukewarm water. Frequent washing and hot water can dry the scalp and fade toner faster.
4. Reduce heat styling
Freshly lightened hair is more vulnerable. Always use heat protection and keep straighteners, curling tools, and high heat to a minimum.
5. Know what isn’t normal
Mild dryness or sensitivity may happen. Ongoing burning, swelling, severe itching, broken skin, or increasing discomfort should not be ignored. Contact your stylist if something feels wrong.
Good blonde requires good aftercare.

Nothing beats good, fresh hair. ✂️✨
That mirror moment says it all.
Throwback to ANCO Studio’s very first campaign in 2019.
Finding this video again reminded me that we have always had the ability to create something original, meaningful and entirely our own.
This is what makes our industry so special. It is not only about hair—it is about creativity, storytelling and making the work feel exciting again.
We are now preparing our 2026 campaign.
Stay tuned.

Planning an on-scalp bleach? What you do before your appointment can make a real difference to your comfort and your result.
On-scalp bleaching is one of the most technical blonde services. Because the lightener is applied directly to the scalp, preparation matters.
Here are five things to do before your appointment:
1. Don’t wash your hair on the day
Wash your hair around 1–2 days beforehand. Avoid scratching or aggressively brushing your scalp before the appointment, as this can cause irritation.
2. Skip heavy oils and DIY treatments
Avoid coconut oil, castor oil, heavy masks, dry shampoo and excessive product buildup. Arrive with dry hair that is reasonably clean and product-free.
3. Tell your stylist your full hair history
Box dye, henna, previous bleach, keratin treatments and chemical straightening can all affect how your hair lifts. Even something done years ago may still be relevant.
4. Make sure your scalp is healthy
Cuts, sunburn, pimples, severe dandruff or an eczema flare-up can make the process more uncomfortable. Let your stylist know before the appointment so they can assess whether it is safe to proceed.
5. Prepare for a longer appointment
On-scalp blonding takes time and cannot be rushed. Bring headphones, a charger, a book or anything else that helps you feel comfortable.
Some warmth or mild tingling may happen, but strong burning or pain should never be ignored. Tell your stylist immediately if something does not feel right.
Better preparation creates a safer, more comfortable and more predictable blonde experience.
Save this post before your next blonde appointment, or send it to someone thinking about going lighter.

The pink going on? Even better than the reveal.
First time doing pink toner and the process was so satisfying to watch.
The way the pink melted onto the blonde gave the prettiest visual surprise before the final result even happened.
Soft, playful, glossy — and just enough pink to make it fun without feeling too much. 🌸

Less contrast. More dimension.
The goal wasn’t to make her lighter, it was to make her blonde feel softer, brighter, and more natural.
A timeless blonde that grows out beautifully. ✨
Most people think going from black to silver takes multiple appointments. Not always.
Black to silver in just one appointment.
This transformation required careful planning, controlled lightening, and precise toning at every stage. The goal wasn’t just to achieve a silver result—it was to keep the hair looking and feeling healthy throughout the process.
This is where Hazel shines.
As ANCO’s Platinum Tone Specialist, Hazel specialises in creating clean blondes, icy silvers, and custom platinum tones with attention to both colour accuracy and hair integrity.
Not every head of hair is suitable for a one-session transformation, which is why every appointment starts with a professional consultation.
Ready for your silver era?
Book a consultation with Hazel.
Starting from completely virgin black hair, we built in soft sunkissed dimension — fine, hand-placed pieces that catch the light without losing the depth of her natural color. No shortcuts, just precise foiling and a lot of patience.
