Beauty news: well known stylist announced as creative director for Matrix NZ

Matrix is proud to announce multi-award winning hairstylist - and super clever human being - Hayley Pullyn as the New Zealand creative director for the brand. With 17 years of hair industry experience both in New Zealand and overseas, Hayley is not only a highly skilled stylist but also a wealth of knowledge on all things Matrix thanks to her time as Matrix Australia Education Manager.

Although she identifies as an all-rounder in all areas of hair, colour has become a speciality for Pullyn during the past few years after winning L’Oréal Young Colorist of the year way back in 2004.

“Colour plays such a strong role in expressing the personality of a woman and giving her a fashion edge,” Pullyn says of her passion for colour.  “I particularly like working on transformation and make-overs, which give me the opportunity to marry together the technical and creative skills I have acquired throughout my time as both a hairstylist and Education Manager.”

Also a trained makeup artist, Pullyn says she draws her inspiration from the British and Australian hairdressing industries. “I always keep my eye out on what is happening at their main industry award competitions as they are forecasting the future trends.” She also stays up to date with fashion and celebrity trends as they are a huge source of inspiration for her clients.

Pullyn’s future goals focus on setting up her own salon and she hopes to open one very soon.
