Catherine, one of our therapists at Lucy & The Powder Room in Newmarket, showed her creative talents when she produced a whimsical and slightly haunting makeup look for the Minuit video clip 'Wayho'. See stills below. For full video clip click here.

Stephen Marr stylist Miguel Lledo definitely has an eye for all things high-end. Miguel styled the 'Summer Daze' shoot for Metro magazine, creating a glamorous look which harks back to the 1970's.

The beginning of another year of amazing hair and fabulous fashion! To kick it off we've uploaded some campaign images from Cybele's latest range, available in stores mid-February. Hair by Donielle Brooke. Photography by Olivia Hemus.

One of our senior stylists Nikki Paton did a fantastic job on the Gin Wigmore shoot for Pilot Magazine. Nikki hit the nail on the head with a 1950's soft punk-look.

The latest Pilot mag gives its readers aesthetic pleasure with a 10-page beauty spread packed with dark moodiness, expressive movement and intense drama. Stephen Marr hair stylist Jason Li did a beautiful job on the hair.

On Monday the 14th Lucy & The Powder Room in Newmarket had a surprise visitor...Tyra Banks. The warm, friendly and gorgeous model-turned-T.V Show Host had her toes tended to and walked away with a lovely supply of Sans product.

One of our wicked hairstylists Matt Benns talks to NO. Magazine about his muses, turning people hot and being a style encyclopedia.



Matt also worked on the 16-page spread of international model Stella Maxwell in the Summer 2009 issue of NO. magazine. Matt created an original/feminine/boyish/punky/elegant/sharp/soft/striking look for the shoot. Talented? We think so.

The Department Store Newspaper has arrived just in time for Christmas! Displaying everything from design, food, fashion, art and beauty you can pick out your presents in one swift hit. Get your copy from any Karen Walker, Black Box, Stephen Marr, Lucy & The Powder Room or Marr Lab store.

Now that we’ve all been really patient and summer is finally here, we can start to get excited about summer clothes and new hair do’s! Anything 60’s is hot for this season, including messy big hair and saturated colors like vintage auburn brunettes and deep smokey blondes.

The lovely Lucy Marr, owner and founder of Stephen Marr, Lucy & The Powder Room and The Marr Lab, talks to Viva about her new endeavour that is The Department Store.

Two of our stylists, Lauren Gunn and Shontal Healey worked together with Liv Hemus to generate a nonchalant, natural look on Kiwi model Emma Champtaloup. This rising superstar is on her way up. Walking for the likes of Armani at this year’s Milan Fashion Week. Definitely one to watch!

Our gorgeous stylist Tash Horomia turns Kat Riddell all sweet and sixties with help from Kevin Murphy's Body Guard and a big round brush.

Our very own Elyse Scott styled the hair for Sunday's 'Dressed To Thrill' photo-shoot. An exhibition of ten different designer's take on the iconic Little Black Dress. Synthesising the surrounding landscapes, smokey eyes, plaited, twisted, tousled hair and ten intricate black dresses has created a dramatic and breathtaking editorial.

Upstairs in the Stephen Marr studio Charlotte Rust from Fast & Loose is being filmed
for our website, as she fashions two of our customised vintage Fashion Week t-shirts and some shoulder pads into an amazing cape. The project was filmed for a competition we had running throughout Air NZ Fashion Week.

The beauty of youth always provides the centre of gravity for Karen Walker shows, as well as the coolest hats this side of the equator. Glowing skin was called for and model faces were prepped with mini facials from Lucy and the Powderroom then sweetly colored with powder-pink cheeks and coral lips, hair was blown out smooth and clean keeping a floaty volume through the top and drawn from a centre part over the ears into a low ponytail at the base of the nape.
