Hi, I'm Ava

The founder of The Back-up Hairdresser. Your trusted salon back-up support service!

As a mother to three wonderful children,

wife to a kind-hearted Kiwi, and a hairdresser for 24 years (13 of those running my own business), I know firsthand how difficult it can be to take time off. Whether it’s a family emergency, a much-needed holiday,

or simply a moment to catch your breath, stepping away from your business.

That’s why I created The Back-up Hairdresser. A dedicated support service designed to give business owners, just like you, peace of mind.

I understand the pressures of running a salon and the importance of maintaining continuity, even when life calls for a break.

So our commitment to you, is to be on-hand with reliable, professional, and seamless support so you can take time off without stress.

I believe no business owner should have to choose between their career and their

well-being and with our experience, passion, and commitment, we're here to ensure your business stays in safe hands while you take the time off you need!
