Turns out the ā€œtalks too muchā€ on my report card really paid off šŸ’ā€ā™€ļøāœØ

Not all ā€œorganicā€ shampoos are created equal šŸ‘€

This video is the perfect example of silicone + product build up sitting on the hair shaft 😳

Build up like this can leave the hair feeling:
• heavy
• constantly oily
• dull
• difficult to style
• and even smokey when heat is applied šŸ”„

What many people don’t realise is that in Australia, the word ā€œorganicā€ on cosmetic products isn’t strictly regulated — meaning some products can claim to be ā€œorganicā€ with very little (or no) genuinely certified organic ingredients.

This is also why I’m so passionate about using quality professional haircare šŸ¤

Cheap supermarket products can not only affect the health of your hair and scalp, but can also interfere with your colour results and even cause chemical reactions during colouring services.

If you’re investing hundreds into your hair colour, it’s so important to support it with the right products at home ✨

Healthy hair starts with what you’re using every wash day.

(P.S. my client was more than happy for me to share this to help educate others… and you best believe she left with a whole new haircare regime šŸ˜…)

Your hairdresser isn’t being dramatic… we can literally SEE the build up šŸ‘€

Lately šŸ¤

Jackson’s back at school and we’re well and truly back into routine. Life feels busier than ever, but somehow it’s all flowing so smoothly ✨

I’m feeling so blessed and grateful that the salon has been so consistent and busy — which also means I’ve been a little quieter on here lately… but that’s kind of the goal isn’t it 😌

I also just wanted to say thank you… truly. I have the most incredible clients šŸ¤

Being a mum and running a business can sometimes feel like you can’t give your best to both. I always said I wanted to be there for all the kids’ things — Easter parades, Mother’s Day breakfasts, awards and special moments… and I’m so grateful that I can.

But the truth is, that’s only possible because I have such understanding, supportive clients. So thank you šŸ«¶šŸ»

I have so many beautiful transformations to share with you, and I promise they’re coming šŸ¤

I’ve been a little MIA lately soaking up the Easter break and school holiday chaos šŸ¤

Back in the salon tomorrow and ready for a fresh week ✨

From drab… to M**F (but make it low maintenance šŸ˜…)

A sexy new wolf-inspired chop and some feature peekaboo highlights for my beautiful little sister ✨

Meet my OG guinea pig.
My day-one ā€œyes girl.ā€
Always ready to trust the process and try something new šŸ¤

If you’re wondering why the salon looks unfamiliar… this is actually my very first home salon.
My parents built this space for me when I started my apprenticeship all those years ago.

These days, visits back to Mum & Dad’s involve a whole lot of cousin chaos in the background… and a few sneaky hair makeovers squeezed in between šŸ˜†

Ready for your own low-maintenance glow up?
DM me ā€œMAKEOVERā€ and I’ll help you plan your next appointment ✨

✨Golden hour hits different in here ✨

Soft light, quiet moments, and a little pause from the outside world while your colour processes.

Hair appointments here aren’t rushed — they’re a chance to slow down, switch off and leave feeling like you again.

If you’ve been craving a more peaceful salon experience… this is your sign ✨

A new salon experience should feel calm, clear and comfortable.

This is how I make sure every first appointment is relaxed, personalised and tailored to you — so you feel heard, looked after and never rushed.

Thinking about becoming a new client? My books are open ✨

I’ve been a little quiet on here — soaking up family time, easing back into work for the New Year, and making the most of these last weeks before Jackson starts school šŸ¤ We’ve been spending any spare minutes soaking up the sun, getting lots of skiing and swimming in, and just enjoying being together. Feeling very grateful.

Still working and taking bookings, so if you need an appointment just send me a DM ✨

I’ve gone back and forth with how my work days would look this year šŸ’‡šŸ¼ā€ā™€ļø

I’m feeling extremely blessed to have continuous new client enquiries, however my 2 work days were maxed out. So it feels like the right time to open up some more days šŸ˜†

I’m excited to be opening up some extra days, however hours may vary and change slightly depending on how we are all managing.

2026 is a big year for our family with our little man starting school, so please bare with me while we adjust to our new norm.

Once again, thankyou for your ongoing support.
Shannyn ✨
