The appointment starts long before you walk through my salon door.
Before every client, I take a few minutes to prepare. I review your notes, plan your colour, check formulas, & make sure everything I need is ready to go.
It might seem like a small step, but it's one of the biggest reasons your appointment feels relaxed, runs smoothly, & delivers consistent results.
Preparation isn't glamorous, but it's part of creating the luxury experience my clients know & love.

A little change... but not too much🤍
If you've got an appointment with me, don't panic I haven't gone far! I've simply moved from Studio 12 to Studio 11... literally next door!
My amazing landlords are moving on from the area, so it was time for a little shuffle. (I will miss them!)
A huge thank you to my husband, Dan, for putting together shelves, mirrors, & all the finishing touches. To my amazing friends, Eve & Michelle, for helping with the signage & moral support
To my two boys for supervising every step of the way, & to their Aunty Ange for keeping them entertained while we got everything ready.
Same same... just next door. 🫶 I can't wait to welcome you into my new (but very familiar!) space.
If your blondes keep going warm, it's time to look at what happened before the toner ever touched the hair.
✨ Lift matters!
✨ Placement matters!
✨️ Saturation matters!
And most importantly tone for the level you've actually lifted to, not the level you were hoping to achieve.
A toner can only enhance what's already there. If the underlying pigment hasn't been lifted enough, no amount of ash is going to create a clean, bright blonde.
Understanding the level you've reached & choosing a toner to complement that level will give you far more predictable, longer lasting results. 🤍

The hair industry is constantly evolving. New techniques, new products, new research, & better ways of achieving incredible results are always emerging.
So that why one of the biggest mistakes you can make is not investing in ongoing hair education.
Every education day i attend which I do at least once per year, gives me something I can bring back to my clients, whether it's a new technique, a more efficient approach, or a way to create healthier, longer lasting colour.
Learning never stops🤍✨️

My signature babylights with 10 vol developer created a soft, lived-in blonde that blends seamlessly with my beautiful client Marika's natural colour. When the lift is clean & the foils are placed with intention, you don't always need a toner 🌻

Luxury hair starts with the right plan🤍
Creating colour that fits into real life—one that grows out beautifully, feels effortless to maintain, is supported by the right home hair care, & gives you confidence every day, not just on salon day.

Embrace the cringe!
Just do it...HIT POST!
There's something pretty special about looking after another hairdresser.
They understand the time, skill & care that goes into every appointment.
I love that, for a few hours, they get to switch off, have a laugh, & let someone else take care of them for a change. 🤍

Perfection isn't what people connect with—authenticity is.
I'd rather show up as myself, keep learning, & share the real journey than pretend I've got it all figured out.
