My Place Hair Salon

First post...but definitely not the first coffee, chat or colour in this beautiful new space.

It's already becoming exactly what I'd hoped for, relaxed, welcoming and a little escape for woman who need it. 🤍

Here it is ladies!!
My new home salon is ready to go.
I am so happy with this space and can't wait to see you in my chair.
For those of you with appointments, you will receive my new address in your reminder email and txt.

After months of thinking about it… renovations have officially begun on my home salon ✨

This little space has been a long time in the making and I’m so excited to finally see it come to life. My goal is to create a relaxed, welcoming space where we can chat about your hair and find styles that work with your lifestyle — easy, flattering and low maintenance.

I can’t wait to share the transformation with you 🤎

Stay tuned…

Thanks to .

🎄✨ Merry Christmas to my amazing clients! ✨🎄

I want to take a moment to thank each and every one of you for your loyalty, patience, and continued support this year. Your kindness and understanding—especially as you followed me to Valley Hair Spa—means more to me than I can put into words.

While I take time to decide whether a home salon is the right next step for me, I’m so grateful to be working in a space that feels welcoming and supportive.
A huge thank you to Cat, Marley & Briney at Valley Hair Spa for opening their doors and making me feel right at home.
I’m incredibly thankful for all of you and feel so lucky to do what I love because of your trust and encouragement. Wishing you and your families a Merry Christmas and a happy, healthy New Year. 🎅🎁💇‍♀️


Love Kathleen ❤️

This season comes with a lot of styling.
Holiday parties, family photos, last-minute events…you name it!
But I know a lot of us forget the most important step before touching a curling iron or straightener.
Any guesses? 👀
➡️Using a heat protectant.
I’m always reminding my clients how important it is to protect their hair, especially right now!
So here's my advice for a damage-free holiday styling:
✨ Heat protectant: I personally LOVE GHD bodyguard heat protectant spray.
✨ Lower heat settings: Try 180°C so your hair stays healthy while you style.
✨ Deep conditioning: Weekly treatments are a must.
Remember, it's the small habits that make a big difference over time.
How often do you remember to use heat protection? Be honest and let me know in the comments 😂

This is the part no one sees…but it’s everything ✨
Believe it or not, my favourite part of every hair transformation isn’t the before and after.
It’s that exact second my clients see the final look.
When they say “Oh my gosh, I love it!” that moment makes the 3+ hours totally worth it.
Because it’s not just about creating the look. It’s about helping them feel like the best version of themselves.
And that will always be my favourite part 🤍

Gloss and toner sound the same, but they’re actually different!
You’ve probably heard me say, “We’ll just do a toner next time,” or, “Let’s add a gloss to make it shine,” and thought…wait, what?
Let’s break it down 👇
💧 Toner: neutralises unwanted tones (like brassiness)
💛 Gloss: adds shine, richness + refreshes your color
One appointment you may need one and the next, something different ✨
If your hair’s looking a little “meh” lately, this might be all you need.

DON’T skip your maintenance appointments! 

If you ever feel like every visit turns into a full-blown bells and whistles session again, it’s probably because the timing between appointments went a little too long.

Staying consistent with your maintenance appointments makes all the difference! 

I know it can be a little tricky to know when to book that appointment. 

So here’s a quick guide to help you out:

🤎 Root Touch-Ups (Every 4-6 Weeks)

✨ Highlights (Every 7-10 Weeks)

🖌️ Balayage (Every 3-5 Months)

🍂 All Over Colour or Toner (Every 4-8 Weeks)

Everyone’s hair grows and fades differently, so don’t stress if your timing isn’t exact.

If you’re unsure, send me a quick message and I can help you figure out when to book your next visit 📲

Can’t wait to see you in my chair 🫶

Can we talk about how fast this year went? 😱
Seriously, time needs to slow down a bit!
I’ve been reflecting lately, and I just keep coming back to how thankful I am for all of you.
The amazing clients, the supportive messages, the trust, the laughs, all of it!
So here’s to YOU 🤎
You’re truly the reason I love what I do!

Does anyone else completely lose track of time in the salon… or is it just me? 🤔

The other day, a client came in for a quick trim and we ended up chatting about everything. Before we knew it, two hours had passed!

That’s my favorite part!

Of course, I LOVE seeing your faces when you see the final transformation, but it's the conversations and connections that make my day so much better 🤎

I’m curious 👇

Do you usually lose track of time in the chair… or do you feel every second?
