I get so frustrated with night lighting! This gorgeous lady and her colour are simply the best!
Of course I forgot to take a before but I’m obsessed with her after!

Someone said to me the other day that my services were too expensive and they “just won’t pay that” so I got to thinking!!

Honestly, I’m completely fine with what they said. I understand we all have budgets. Life is hard at the moment, for everyone, including me! I live in the same world with the same rising costs! In business as well as personally. Every single part of my business has increased in costs so to stay in business I’ve had to have a small Increases. I’m always transparent when it comes to pricing.

If you’re looking for the “cheapest” hair service you can find, I am really not the hairdresser for you!

If on the other hand, you’re looking for someone who takes the time to do the service properly, knows how to reach your end hair goal, cares about the integrity of your hair, understands the science behind the colour and honestly knows what they’re doing, with 30+ years experience in salons across Melbourne, thousands of dollars invested into training and education, constantly upskilling and actually cares about the end result, then that’s why you want to come in and see me. You value my experience and skills. That’s why I want to work with you.

I’m not interested in competing with the cheapest quote down the road. I don’t care what the last hairdresser did wrong, I dont care about what you used to be charged.
I care how I can rectify your hair and ensure you are happy. I’m not competing with anyone other than myself.

Salons are everywhere, there’s a huge difference between having a quick cheap trim and actually having a haircut/colour you can do properly at home.
There will always be a salon that fits everyone’s budget.

Over the years I’ve seen many clients come through my salon needing colour work corrected after being done elsewhere, sometimes from people that claim to be a specialist in certain areas. Haircuts may have technical mistakes that you don’t immediately see. It may be resistant hair not covered the way you expect, too much warmth, colour gone wrong, layers not cut correctly, choppy haircuts that should flow, the list goes on. Even the dreaded home box dye.

Colour is where “the cheapest” can turn into a very expensive and time consuming process. That colour needs to be taken back, coloured over, toned, treated and won’t happen in one go. That one cheap colour has now turned into 6 months of commitment from you, working with a hairdresser that understands the technical science behind hairdressing, wether cutting or colour and what work needs to done to correct what you don’t like.

I don’t name shame other businesses or post online trying to bring someone else down. I won’t get into a stylist bashing session. That’s not how I operate.

I will talk with you and have a clear understanding of what you expect your hair to be like. I will talk you through what we have to do and how we can achieve it. I will also explain if the end result you want is not achievable. Not because I don’t want to do your hair but occasionally there is just no way to do it and keep your hair intact. I will recommend another stylist if I genuinely feel there’s another best suited to your needs.
I will do my utmost to sort your hair. As they say, trust the process!
You, the client sees the difference, and you make the decision to work with me.

There is a reason that my work mostly comes from my loyal repeat customers and why I’m booked in advance.
Word of mouth recommendations are wonderful and I try to help new clients in my free spaces. This is why I recommend to always book your appointments ahead.

You make a choice to book with me when you feel comfortable knowing what you’re getting. We build a rapport.

Do I always get it right? No not at all. I’m human and sometimes things just do not work the way they should. The hair may throw me a curve ball. I make mistakes, I may even cut too much or not enough off. However I will always correct it.

Am I the best in the business? Most definitely not! I’m constantly learning, evolving and growing my own skills so I can serve you the best way I know how. I just may be the best hairdresser for you.

Do you walk out feeling like the best version of you?
I certainly hope so! If I haven’t done something the way you like, tell me! Please don’t ever leave disappointed and feel as though you can’t talk to me.

Have a scroll through my page. The work speaks for itself. I am slack on socials, I forget to take before and after photos but I will always give you my best. I will always give you my honest and professional advice.

Quality will always matter more than quantity to me.
When you are looking for a new hairdresser, keep these things in mind. Ask the questions you think are silly, bring inspo pics. I’ll tell you if they are AI or wigs. When you’re comparing quotes, always make sure you’re comparing like for like.

Cheap and good are very rarely the same thing especially in hairdressing.

If quality, loyalty and satisfaction matters more than finding the “cheapest hairdresser”, send me a message, give me a call, I would love to talk with you about your hair goals.

Hello everyone!

Brad update for all those playing along at home!
Brad had his surgery this morning at the Alfred. His surgery went extremely well and he woke up feeling a million bucks. Mid afternoon today we went for a walk. YES a walk! Slow and steady! He is feeling so different pain wise and is able to wiggle his toes and lift his legs himself.
We are so truly grateful for ALL the messages, phone calls, prayers and well wishes.
The Alfred has been awesome in our experience. From all the ED staff, nurses, unit mgrs and of course our phenomenal Surgeon Prof Jithoo!
Let the healing begin 👏🏻💯🙏🙏
