Little life update ✂️
After an amazing chapter at Fuchsia Hair Design, I’ll be leaving in 2 weeks to pursue freelance FULL TIME ✨🎬

This is very bittersweet. I’ve loved every minute of my time here, the clients, the growth, and especially the team. I’m really going to miss these humans (and the doggies 🐶).

If you’d like to get in and see me before I go, now’s the time to book in! Lets have one last laugh together and make your hair look and feel amazing.
My last day at will be Saturday 7th March.

Can’t wait to see as many of your faces as possible

Major throwback to when let me take her shorter with her cut to this sleek bob style. I’m still obsessed! ✂️
Shorter, sleeker, and seriously stunning!

TRENDING ✨

Cooler weather = less UV exposure, so deeper tones won’t fade as quickly. It’s the perfect time to shift your blonde slightly darker for longer-lasting, lower-maintenance colour and healthier hair overall.

BRONDE
The perfect balance between brunette and blonde—aka dirty blonde done right.
A shadow root blends seamlessly into lowlights through the mid-lengths, with fine highlights to keep the ends bright. Effortless, lived-in, and low-maintenance—with no harsh grow-out and just the right amount of glow. 🌫️💫

HONEY BLONDE
This radiant colour blends natural warmth with brightness, making it super flattering on a wide range of skin tones.
With customised foil placement, to lift and enhance dimension while keeping the overall look natural, golden, and full of light. Sun kissed perfection! 🍯☀️

CARAMEL BLONDE
On the darker end of the blonde spectrum—perfect for brunettes wanting to lighten up without sacrificing depth. Soft, natural highlights add dimension, while the hue sits beautifully between amber and toffee. Especially flattering on golden and olive skin tones.

Exciting News! ✨
Farewell for now, but not forever… unless I win the lottery

After almost 3 years at .salon , it’s time for me to say goodbye and finally break up with my long daily commute (it’s not me, it’s 100% the traffic).

It’s bittersweet leaving the insanely talented crew at .salon and —I’ll miss the laughs, the banter, and the after work pint of Guinness. But I’m super pumped for what’s next and ready for a new adventure (with a shorter drive)!

My last day at Lab is May 1st. I still have a few final appointment slots open, so book in—I’d love the chance to say goodbye (and give you great hair one last time).

Stay tuned for updates on the new location.
See you all soon! ✂️🩶

Blonde Haircare Tips 💛✨

Aftercare doesn’t need to be complicated, but good products are essential for blondes.
Why spend $300-$600 on a professional colour only to skimp on products at the supermarket in the hopes it will look after your blonde. It won’t!

PURPLE SHAMPOO
A purple shampoo is designed to help extend the life of your blonde colour not replace a toner.
Only use once a week at max to avoid a build up of product and drying out your hair, as this product tends to not be hydrating. Treat this product more as a treatment not your everyday use.
Tip: check the colour of the product before buying so as not to purchase an overly blue formula (yellow+blue=green 😬)

My recommendations;
- Luxeblond
- Keep My Colour Blonde
- Fabuloso Platinum Blonde
- Blond Absolu Ultraviolet

BOND REPAIR
Over processed or damaged hair is unfortunately very common with blondes and even though there will always be a small amount of breakage with every blonde service this can be avoided by great home care and adding an Olaplex/Wellaplex treatment to your next professional colour to restrengthen the bonds and balance PH in your hair.

At home bond repair is highly recommended but don’t over do it. Repair does not always mean hydration and dry hair will still break even when you use bond repair products.
I recommend alternating the use of repair and hydrating products for the perfect balance.

My favourite bond repair treatments:
- Molecular Repair Mask
- Wellaplex No3

My favourite hydrating shampoos and conditioners:
- Fusion
- Nutritive
- All soft
