Temu salon finds… and honestly, I’m impressed 👀
I’ll admit I was a bit sceptical, but some of these have been such good additions to the salon without the hefty price tag:
• Glasses sleeve protectors – way cheaper than other suppliers and doing exactly what they should (no more colour stains 🙌)
• Hot tools holder – stuck it on the wall and it’s been perfect for keeping things tidy
• Tint brushes + whisks – great quality, easy to use, and I’m obsessed with the colours
• Light fitting – LOVE the style, gives such a nice vibe and was a fraction of the price
• Sliding door handles – solid, metal, and about half the price of what I’d pay elsewhere
• Metal spice rack – using this to display my demi colours and it’s actually perfect. I label the tops so everything’s easy to grab… already thinking I need another one 👀
Not everything is a win, but these ones definitely are 🤍
This is only a small amount of what I’ve tried… if you want to see more of my Temu salon finds, let me know in the comments 👇
And if you’ve found any good salon buys yourself, I’d love to hear! ✨
Can I claim this on tax?” 👀
I hear this a lot behind the chair — and I get it.
But according to Inland Revenue Department, your hair appointments are considered personal expenses, not business ones.
That means even if you:
own a business
work with clients
or invest in your appearance for work
…it’s still not claimable.
👉 The only exceptions are usually very specific cases like:
actors or performers needing a certain look for a role
hair done as part of a paid photoshoot or production
For most people though — it’s a no.
Always best to check with your accountant for your specific situation 🤍
Box dyed red is no joke 😅
For this client, I kept it low and slow to control the warmth, then added depth back in to create a soft, lived-in blonde.
But here’s the thing — this isn’t a one-size-fits-all approach.
Even with box dye, I could tell from her hair assessment that we didn’t need a colour remover this time.
That’s why every colour correction starts with a proper plan 👌

From box dye ➡️ soft, blended blonde ✨
My beautiful client Sarah from Journey Dog Training came in with previous box colour, and we achieved this in ONE session 🤍
Using a full head air touch with Milkshake Light Catcher Spotlight Level 9 + 10 vol to keep the lift as gentle as possible, protecting the integrity of her hair every step of the way 🌿
Everything that was blown out of the highlight was refined with a level 7 ash violet demi to neutralise warmth and create that seamless blend
Soft. Natural. Low maintenance.
The kind of blonde that grows out beautifully 🙌

It’s the little details you didn’t know you needed that make all the difference. ✨
When you’re in my chair at District Blonde, I want you to feel completely looked after. I’ve put a lot of thought into the small touches that make your appointment easy and relaxing. If you can think of anything else I could do drop them in the comments ☺️
Not everyone gets to say they love going to work…
But somehow I created a little space where I get to do what I love every day.
And that feels pretty special. 🤍 This video is from the old salon but I will make some more content in my new space soon x

First week in the new salon is running smoothly. Feedback I am getting is the space is relaxing and the basin is super comfortable. Come check it out for yourself 😊

✨ A New Chapter Begins Tomorrow ✨
Tomorrow, my little studio officially opens its doors.
I want to take a moment to say how grateful I am for my time at Scarlet Hair Studio. I loved working alongside my friends, a husband and wife team with bundles of knowledge between them and so many laughs along the way. That season meant a lot to me.
But it’s time for something new.
District Blonde is now its own space. A relaxed, one on one studio where it’s just you and me. No rush. No noise. Just calm, personalised hair appointments.
If you need to bring your laptop and get work done while you’re processing, you absolutely can. There’s wifi, beverages, a private bathroom, and parking right in the driveway.
It’s intimate. It’s peaceful. It’s intentional.
I can’t wait to welcome you into this new space and continue creating beautiful hair together.
Here’s to new beginnings ✨
