MASTER STYLIST & MASTER COLOURIST

"Hair styling is not a job, it's my life."
- Wei Jiang

Wei started his hairdressing career in 2011 when he was almost 30.  He decided to follow his dream and passion, and he has done just that by building a loyal clientele, working on many of New Zealand's largest hair and fashion events.  This year Wei won the Industry Editorial Colourist of the year award, and Wellington's Editorial Colourist of the Year.

Wei has been at Buoy since commencing his award-winning career.  He is a man who is always pushing the creative boundaries with his editorial and film work.  Wei has been mentored by founder Derek Elvy, and is inspired by Derek's avant-garde work.  Wei has recently taken on the job of caring for many of Derek's clientele - he has done this in typical cool, calm and collected Wei Jiang style.  Wei will create a style that works for your individual vibe.
