Arlu Style House

To the people who got an earlier version of me…

I’m sorry I didn’t know then what I know now.

To the client whose hair I may have fu**ed up once or twice, who somehow still came back and trusted me. 😂

To the staff who worked beside me while I was learning how the hell to lead people when I was still trying to lead myself.

And to everyone who has watched me open, close, move, rebuild, have babies, question everything and occasionally think…

What the f**k am I actually doing?

Thank you. 🥹

Because the woman you see today was built through all of it.

Back then, I didn’t always know what to say when something went wrong.

I didn’t always know when to say no.

I didn’t always have the knowledge I have now.

But I cared. A lot.

And I kept learning.

Today, you still don't get a perfect version of me.

You get someone who will listen.

Someone who will tell you when something isn't possible.

Someone who will hold your hand when you need it.

Someone who has invested an unbelievable amount of time, money and energy into becoming better at her craft — and becoming a better human along the way.

And lately, I've started quietly sharing this big f**king dream I have for Arlu.

That maybe this becomes more than one little salon.

Maybe we create beautiful spaces in little towns where women feel seen and cared for.

And maybe we create opportunities for other hairdressers so they don't have to spend 12 years figuring out everything I had to figure out alone.

That's the part that gets me.

Because suddenly, all those messy versions of me make sense.

23-year-old Eb couldn't have built what I'm dreaming about now.

But she had to exist for this version of me to get here.

And ten years from now?

I hope I look back at who I am today and think…

She still had so much to learn. But dam she had the guts

Because I never want to stop becoming. 🤍

Your consultation doesn’t end when your appointment starts. 🤍

Actually… those first 5–10 minutes are only the beginning.

At Arlu, I’m learning about your hair throughout your entire appointment.

I’m listening when you tell me how you actually style it at home.

I’m feeling how your hair behaves at the basin.

I’m watching how it responds as I colour, cut and blow-dry it.

I’m looking at what you're already using — and I'm not going to tell you to replace something that's already working just because I have something sitting on my shelf.

All of those little things give me clues.

Because I don’t want to prescribe your hair based on what I can see in the first five minutes.

I want to understand it.

And then, together, we build a plan.

One that considers your dream hair, but also your lifestyle, your budget, how often you actually want to come into the salon and what your hair can safely handle.

Sometimes that means we get there in one appointment.

Sometimes it means strengthening your hair first, changing one or two things at home, investing over a few appointments, or simply giving your hair time.

And sometimes the plan changes — because your hair changes.

That's why consultation isn't a conversation we have once.

It's something we continue every time you sit in my chair.

Observe. Educate. Plan. Adjust.

Because I'm not here just to make your hair beautiful for the photo at the end.

I want to help you build hair you understand, can look after, and genuinely love long after you've left the salon. 🌸

This is part of what makes Arlu Style House a little different.

Your hair goals don’t need to wait for January. 💗

There’s still time before 2027 to start making little changes that can completely change the way you understand, care for and feel about your hair.

And no — I don’t mean buying 27 new products. 😂

I mean actually learning your hair.

✨ Getting a routine that suits you
✨ Understanding what your scalp needs
✨ Using the right products instead of guessing
✨ Protecting your hair from heat
✨ Learning how to style it at home
✨ Making a realistic plan towards your dream colour
✨ And finally having those conversations with your hairdresser that go beyond, “just the usual.”

Because dream hair isn’t usually created in one appointment.

It’s created through a plan, consistency, education and a hairdresser who understands where you’re trying to go.

So… how many of these 27 can you tick off already? 👀

And which one are you committing to before 2027?

Save this one and come back to it. 💗

This is why I don’t just “do your hair” anymore. 🧡🩷

For years I’ve looked after this beautiful head of hair — but if I’m being completely transparent, we’d never really stopped and had a proper consultation about why her hair was struggling.

And that part is on me too.

We finally sat down. We talked about her hair history, what she was using at home, what her hair had been through and what we could actually change.

One of those changes was moving her onto professional shampoo + conditioner, and since then we’ve noticed such a beautiful improvement in how her own hair is feeling and appearing fuller.

And LOOK at that natural growth. 🥹

Today we only needed a tiny amount of hair, customised into micro keratin bonds, to fill the areas that still needed a little extra support.

Not to give her ridiculously long hair.

Just to bridge the gap between where her hair is now and where we’re trying to take it.

She’s also heading home with Redken Acidic Grow Full System Instant Densifying Spray to introduce into her scalp routine and see how her hair responds.
