A little airtouch and root smudge to bring some dimension into this blonde.
A transition from bright, level 10, to level 6 smudge and airtouch.
Toned the ends using 9.00N + 9S

A little creative pop of colour for this queen.
She arrived with previously lightened hair, with about 4cm regrowth, all around the hairline.
Created the illusion of a block color technique, by using the vivids (royal blue and fuchsia pink).
And giving her that angel ring to round it off 🤌🏼

A color refresh for this queen.
Swipe to see our starting point.
Was the perfect canvas for this 🙌🏼

We transitioned this Queen from a global bleach (with quite a regrowth 🙃🙂, about 65% of the hair), to this beautifully blended blonde balayage.
Finished it off with a good cut, getting rid of all the dead ends.
Used Megix10 lift 9+ with 12vol, toned using 10.12 + 0.00 + fix, with a dash of 10.3. Added morph to bring it down to an acidic toner.

Service Spotlight:
Massage & Access Bars at Urban Cottage
Your body holds more than muscles and bones.
It holds stress, memory, and patterns of protection.
At Urban Cottage, bodywork is nervous system focused, slow, and intuitive.
I don’t chase pain. I listen to the whole system.
What I offer:
• Intuitive, therapeutic massage
My work is myofascial-informed and pattern-based. I follow lines of tension, density, and holding through the body instead of treating one sore spot in isolation.
• Nervous system led touch
I work closer to the centre of the body first, using strong but safe pressure to help the system feel secure enough to let go, weaving into my work DNIC-principles.
• Access Bars sessions
A gentle, non-invasive head-based modality where specific points are lightly touched to help quiet mental noise, reduce stress patterns, and create space in the mind and body.
For men and women who:
• Carry long term stress
• Feel stuck in their body or mind
• Are tired of holding it all together
This is a trauma aware, consent led space.
Nothing is rushed. Nothing is forced.
Your body sets the pace.

Texture. Shape. Movement.
The flow cut, where hair finds its own rhythm.
Cut to fall naturally. Styled to move freely.
Low effort. High intention.
With a little beard sculpt.
And here at Urban Cottage, I'm all about helping you find your natural hair pattern and working with it, not against it.

Created this beautiful vanilla blonde on my client yesterday.
A full head foils, and a gorgeous toner to bring it all together.
Finished off with a trim and a banger of a blunt bang 🔥.
Come start the morning with me 🙌🏼
There’s something sacred about the moments before the first client arrives…
The quiet hum of the morning, the way the space feels before the world touches it.
I love slipping into my opening routine. Turning on the lights, setting the tools, grounding the room, letting everything settle into alignment for the day ahead.
These small rituals are how I prepare the energy of the space, but also myself.
A gentle reset. A slow breath.
A reminder that healing starts long before anyone walks through the door.
Here’s a little glimpse into those early hours… the calm before the magic begins.
