On our shelves.
In your routine.

There’s a lot happening behind a beautiful colour or a polished blow wave. The formula at the colour bar, the care at the basin and the products you take home all play a part. At OLETTE, we want those choices to work together—and to make sense for your hair.

We’re a Wella RED salon in Remuera, Auckland. Wella colour is part of our everyday salon work, alongside basin care and a retail collection spanning System Professional, Wella Ultimate and Sebastian Professional. These are the lines we use, love and talk about with our clients. Here’s a closer look at what’s on our shelves, and where we would start with your routine.

At the colour bar: a line for every direction.

Blonde isn’t one colour. Neither is brunette. Your starting point, previous colour, natural greys and the finish you want all influence our choice of product. Having several Wella colour families lets us plan different parts of an appointment with intention, rather than treating every head of hair the same.

Koleston Perfect is our permanent colour option for rich, balanced shades, depth and grey coverage. It belongs in the conversation when you want a more lasting colour change or coverage at the roots. Illumina Color is also permanent colour, with an emphasis on luminous, natural-looking dimension. Think colour that still has light and movement through it.

Color Touch is demi-permanent colour: a versatile choice for refreshing tone, adding dimension and blending greys where a softer result is the aim. Blondor is the lightening family. It helps create the lighter starting point for blonde work, highlights and balayage; the tone we choose afterwards is another part of the plan.

The important part isn’t memorising the names. It’s knowing we can choose the approach around your hair, rather than asking your hair to fit one formula.

Shinefinity: an OLETTE favourite for getting the shade just right.

Sometimes the change you want is in the detail: a blonde that feels a little softer, a brunette with a more considered tone, or a glossy finish that brings the whole colour together. This is why we love Shinefinity.

Wella’s zero-lift colour glaze adds tone and translucent shine without lightening your natural base. It can refine an existing colour while letting its highs and lows show through. For us, that makes it a favourite when the goal is the right shade and a beautiful finish, with the character of the hair still visible.

A glaze won’t replace lightening if your goal is a brighter blonde, and it isn’t the same service as full permanent grey coverage. We’ll help you understand where it fits. Explore our colour services, or read the gloss edit for a closer look.

At the basin, care becomes personal.

A basin appointment is a moment to slow down, but the products matter too. Hair that feels dry through the ends may need a different approach from hair affected by regular lightening, heat styling or a scalp concern. We choose care around those needs and talk about how to continue it at home.

System Professional gives us a targeted way to build that conversation. Its collection includes Hydrate, Repair, Color Save, Smoothen and LuxeOil, alongside scalp-focused options. The appeal for us is the ability to consider several needs together: your roots and lengths don’t always want the same thing. Ask your stylist which part of the range suits you before choosing by the bottle alone.

Wella Ultimate: care worth taking home.

Our Wella Ultimate ranges bring salon care into the bathroom. Ultimate Repair focuses on damaged hair, with a routine that includes cleansing, conditioning and leave-in care such as Miracle Hair Rescue. It’s a useful starting point for a conversation about hair that has been through colour, lightening or regular heat styling.

Ultimate Smooth takes a different direction: nourishment, softness and a smoother finish for dry, dull or frizz-prone hair. Its shampoo, conditioner, mask and Miracle Oil Serum have different roles. Your stylist can help you decide which steps earn a place in your routine.

Our take? Choose for what your hair needs now. A repair routine and a smoothing routine aren’t interchangeable just because both promise beautiful hair. We would rather help you find a few well-chosen products you enjoy using than send you home with a shelf full of uncertainty.

Great hair at home starts with understanding what your hair needs—and how to use what you choose.

Sebastian: quickly becoming an OLETTE favourite.

Sebastian Professional’s recent relaunch has brought fresh packaging and a renewed creative energy to the range. Its “Shape Your World” direction feels at home in a salon where hair is personal: polished one day, undone the next, and never limited to one finish.

It has quickly become a favourite at OLETTE. We love that the collection brings care and styling into the same conversation. The question is both “How does your hair feel?” and “How do you want to wear it?”

Dark Oil is a favourite place to explore smoothness, shine and a touchable finish. The care products and styling oil do different jobs; the oil is a finishing step, rather than a replacement for conditioner. We love the idea of polish that still lets the haircut move. Read our Dark Oil story to explore the family.

Potion 9 combines leave-in conditioning with styling. It’s one to discuss when you want moisture, flexible control and a finish you can still work with. No.Breaker brings bond-building care and styling together, while Penetraitt is another repair-focused family to explore with your stylist. For hold, Sebastian’s Shaper and Re-Shaper products offer ways to support a finished look while choosing the feel you want.

These are some of the names we’re excited about, but a salon favourite still needs to be right for you. Fine hair, fuller lengths, a blunt bob and long highlighted hair can call for different amounts, textures and combinations. Let us show you the product in your hair, explain where it goes and talk through how to use it between visits.
