Miss Meraki

Wearing your hair in a bun or ponytail every day? Try switching up the placement.

Keeping it in the exact same spot can create repeated tension on the same area of your scalp. Over time, that stress can lead to breakage or thinning around the hairline.

Low one day, high the next. Loose instead of tight. Small changes make a difference.

Healthy hair is often about the habits you don’t think twice about.

Worried your hat is making your hair fall out? The good news: it’s probably not.

Wearing a hat won’t cause hair loss, but tight styles or constant friction around the hairline can lead to some breakage over time. If you’re wearing one often, choose a breathable fit and give your scalp a break now and then.

As always, healthy hair starts with a healthy scalp. Keep it clean, especially after sweating, and chat to us if you’re noticing changes, we’re here to help.

After a swim, what you do next matters. Especially if you want to keep your hair healthy.

If you’ve been in the ocean, a quick rinse followed by a leave-in conditioner or light oil is usually enough to restore moisture and reduce salt build-up.

But if you’ve been in chlorinated water, rinsing immediately is a must. Chlorine can be harsh on the hair and scalp, especially if it’s coloured or already dry. Ideally, shampoo and condition as soon as you can to prevent long-term damage.

It’s a simple step that makes a big difference. Especially over a long summer.

Warm afternoons, doors open, and both our clients and our team popping out for an ice cream between appointments.

A big shout-out to our neighbours at for keeping the Albert Park streets feeling like summer.

One of the little perks of being part of this neighbourhood.

You wouldn’t head to the beach without sunscreen on your skin. Your hair deserves the same protection.

Salt water and chlorine can strip moisture, rough up the hair cuticle and leave your strands dry, dull or brittle. The fix is simple: apply a leave-in conditioner or light oil before you swim. It acts as a barrier, helping to lock in moisture and minimise damage.

Give your hair a quick rinse post swim, and you’re already one step ahead.

It doesn’t have to be a big routine. Just a small habit that keeps your hair feeling healthy all summer long.

The salon is starting to fill again, and it’s great to have Linda and Rainer back after the summer break.

Linda is back on the floor and ready for cuts and colour, while Rainer is available for junior-level services and blow-drys.
