About us

We are NZ's first Hairdressing Wholesaler, proudly started by hairdressers for hairdressers in 1989!

Since our humble beginnings in the back of a shipping container in Dunedin we now service the whole of New Zealand with 4 stores and 6 Area Managers.  

Today we carry the widest range of salon exclusive hair care products in New Zealand including major international brands, all with no minimum quantities and no minimum spend.  We source our own product and bring it direct to salon owners.  We meet our overseas suppliers and ensure the families and factories we work with are ethical and meet our standards.

Our goal is to be a one-stop shop, making business easy for our clients.  

Jo Morshuis, the founder of Southern Salon Supplies, and her first salon.

Today the business remains in the family, owned by Grand-Daughter Jamie Copland, and her husband Jared.
