FMK's Story
First Millennium Hair Design opened its doors in 2005 as a thriving salon in Onehunga, Auckland.
While the salon quickly found success, it was a personal journey that gave FMK its true direction.
Founder Elnaz Jahanrakshan knew first-hand the struggle of living with frizzy, hard-to-manage hair, and recognised that many of her clients shared the same frustration.
Elnaz experimented with different products and techniques, trying every option on the market before finding the one she felt delivered the best results on her own hair.
In 2007, the discovery of Keratin Treatments transformed the business, evolving FMK into New Zealand’s first dedicated hair straightening salon. With an unwavering focus on results and client confidence, FMK quickly became a trusted destination for hair smoothing solutions.
In 2013, FMK launched its signature Hair Care range, designed for everyday use and to extend the results of hair straightening treatments. Used both in-salon and retailed for at-home use, the range includes shampoos, conditioners, and smoothing aftercare essentials.
FMK Onehunga continued to grow and eventually relocated to a larger space in Epsom, retaining many of its original clients to this day.
Over the years, client expectations shifted toward more organic ingredients. Elnaz stayed ahead of the curve, continually testing new methods, but nothing came close to Keratin Treatments until 2021, when she discovered Nanoplasty — a true game changer for both clients and stylists. Elnaz set out to find the most premium Nanoplasty brand on the market and is now a proud stockist of Biopulent.
Today, FMK Hair Design operates across three locations - Epsom, Silverdale, and Pukekohe, and continues to evolve, offering both Nanoplasty and Keratin Treatments, tailored to meet the diverse needs of it's clients.
