Jaimee Whiston

Continually challenged by the quote “What would you attempt to do if you knew you couldn’t fail?” Jaimee has learned there’s no set formula for success. It takes passion, risk-taking and perseverance.

She is a product of surrounding herself with incredibly talented mentors instrumental in shaping her journey and getting her where she is today. The 25-year journey has
shaped her identity and cultivated an incredible passion and commitment to the hair industry.

Before Ukiyo, Jaime founded and grew the multi-award-winning salon Zaibatsu Hair Art in Dunedin. She continued to keep it at the forefront of the industry for well over 20 years producing numerous national and award-winning international stylists. The salon won several business awards including Employer of Choice and other marketing
