At Rodney Wayne, we’ve spent more than 40 years building New Zealand’s most awarded hair salon group, and we know exactly what makes a great franchisee. It’s probably not what you’d expect.
We’re actively looking for new franchise owners to join our network of salons and shampoo ‘n’ things stores throughout New Zealand. And no – you don’t need to have ever held a pair of scissors professionally to be considered.
It’s About People, Not Hairdressing
Our franchisees come from remarkably varied backgrounds, retail management, hospitality, corporate careers, and yes, some from within the hair industry too. What unites them isn’t a technical skill set. It’s a genuine love of people, the ability to inspire a team, and the commercial drive to run a thriving business.
The ability to motivate a team, build genuine relationships with clients, and run a well-managed operation matters far more to us than knowing the difference between a balayage and a bob. We provide the systems, training, and support. You bring the heart.
“Our franchisees come from varied backgrounds and experiences. What they have in common is a passion for delivering exceptional customer experiences and business management skills.”
— Julie Evans, CEO, Rodney Wayne
Two Revenue Streams, One Iconic Brand
Here’s something that surprises many people exploring a Rodney Wayne franchise: when you invest with us, you’re not just opening a salon. Most of our franchises come paired with a shampoo ‘n’ things retail store – a fully stocked, premium haircare destination staffed by trained experts who guide customers through personalised haircare regimens.
With growing consumer demand for professional-grade haircare products, shampoo ‘n’ things isn’t just a bolt-on. It’s a meaningful, complementary revenue stream that strengthens the overall business and gives our franchisees a genuine edge in their market.
What We Bring to the Table
We’ve built a franchise model designed to set you up for success from day one. Our support includes industry-leading training and financial management benchmarking, digital tools and systems to keep your business running smoothly, dedicated area manager support with regular contact, world-class marketing and customer engagement programmes, and strong group buying power with access to superior products.
It’s a formula that has worked for over four decades, and it continues to deliver for franchise owners from all walks of life.
Is This You?
We’re looking for motivated, people-first individuals who are ready to back themselves in business. If you light up a room, build trust naturally, love developing a team, and have the commercial smarts to manage a high-performing operation – we’d love to talk.
