⚖️ PERSONAL UPDATE ⚖️

To my beautiful clients, thank you for your loyalty and support over the years. After 24 years of working several late nights each week, it’s time for me to create a little more balance.

From February 2026, I will still be working FULL-TIME MONDAY-FRIDAY, but I will no longer be offering late evening appointments.

Tues & Wed: last cut & colour appointment will be at 3:30pm (this will be the latest appointment on offer with myself & for existing clients only)
Mon & Thurs: last cut & colour at 1:30pm
Fri: last cut & colour at 12:30pm

I know these changes won’t suit everyone. If you need recommendations for hairdressers who may better accommodate your schedule, please reach out, I’m more than happy to help.

I am incredibly grateful for your understanding as I prioritise a long overdue healthier work life rhythm so I can continue to give you my very best. 💛

With love,
Anya

Self-introduction time, I’m Anya, and this is my trusty sidekick, Bonnie 🐾

2024 was a BIG year! Opening another salon wasn’t on my radar at the start, but when the right opportunity comes along, sometimes you just have to say YES! ✨

2025 has already kicked off at full speed, both personally and professionally. How is it already March?!After realising (too late) that the email linked to our website’s booking form was incorrect for almost five months 🙈—meaning I missed so many of your inquiries last year —we’ve now fixed it and have been absolutely inundated with bookings!

The support for the new salon has been incredible. While it can feel overwhelming at times trying to fit everyone in, I’m beyond grateful for all the new client inquiries and the unwavering loyalty of my existing clients.

Exciting news—our team is growing! The lovely .blaise will be joining us full-time starting March 10th, bringing our team of freelance hairdressers to five: , , , Blaise, and myself.

My 2025 hours: I’m working full-time Monday to Friday, with late nights on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. I have some travel planned this year, so my schedule may vary, but I’ll always keep you updated

At this time, I am not taking on new clients for after-hours appointments as I am fully booked. However, I am happy to add you to the waitlist in case a spot opens up.

Best way to reach us? Since we’re hands-on with clients all day, we rarely have time to answer calls. Please leave a voicemail (we only return calls with a message—because of the ridiculous amount of spam calls we get), text us, contact your preferred stylist directly, or fill out the now fully functional booking form on our website 😅. You can even choose your stylist from the pull-down menu, and we’ll get back to you ASAP!

Thank you for all the love and support. Here’s to a big, beautiful 2025! ✂️✨

We absolutely LOVE creating beautiful, wearable hair at ANYA 💗

You might not know but we actually get a kick out of doing beautiful hair. This cut and colour literally made my day! 🥰

wanted something a little different from her usually bright lived in blonde so we added more depth by doing both Teasy-Lights and Low-Lights then Zoned Toned to melt it all together and add depth at the roots but still maintain brightness where we needed it for the ultimate BRONDE ✨

**As always you can count on me for forgetting a before pic so I grabbed one off Louise’s insta to show you how blonde we usually go.

Low maintenance Lived-In Blonde 💫

Perfect to achieve a little lift without the upkeep. And also great to disguise/ blend grey hair coming through.

Because we did a Teasy-Light application this colour grows out seamlessly. To maintain, it would only need to be done 2 - 3 times a year ✨

You would think we just coloured Sheay’s hair but you’d be wrong! It’s actually been a few months since we coloured, but look at that shine and dimension ✨

This appointment we did Detox Shampoo to clarify any environmental + product build up, Hydrating Treatment using a .murphy.australia Moisture Vial to bring Sheay’s hair back to life, followed by a Style Cut & Blow Dry with Curls to Finish ✨💫
