founder | director | colour expert | master stylist

coffee order | Soy cappuccino extra chocolate on top

cocktail order | Spicy Tommy’s margarita no salt

favourite product | Silkening polish: Daily moisturiser for your hair, a must have in your collection for healthy shiny hair.  Perfect for stretching time between washes.  (filler for your hair, it speaks for itself) 

why I love hair | The industry is full of creative, vivacious, caring people and since I was a child & young teenager I wanted to be a part of it.  

First picking up the broom at the age of 13 I’ve loved every moment since.  The opportunity to learn, grow and create a space for creativity has been my highlight and constant driving force.

My cup is full every time I have the opportunity to make someone feel better about themselves.  Creating beautiful hair is my way of doing so.

Everyday is a delight.  I have a team who are incredibly talented, a pleasure to teach, eager to learn, who are my family.

I consider myself very lucky to have always known my passion.

why I love hair | Hair is art. It’s forever changing and growing, and as a stylist I feel like I do the same.

It’s a special thing to be able to experience your client’s important moments in life with them.
