Hair NV by Jade

A little reminder to make time for yourself too

Not just the errands.
Not just the work.
Not just looking after everyone else.

You deserve moments where you get to slow down too.

A quiet hour.
A deep breath.
A warm towel.
A calming head massage.
A chance to switch your mind off for a little while and just… be.

Sometimes booking the appointment isn’t about the hair at all, sometimes it’s the permission slip to finally rest.

So if your body has been asking you to slow down lately, maybe this is your sign to book the break in before burnout makes the decision for you.

Sometimes I look at my space now… and think back to where this all restarted.

A mobile basin in the laundry.
A mirror balanced on the bar fridge.
An old office chair.
Colours stored in the spare room.

After 10 years away from hairdressing due to skin reactions, I honestly felt like an impostor stepping back into it all again.

I questioned whether my skills were still good enough.
Whether I could build a clientele again.
Whether anyone would even want to come.

But I’d finally found a colour range my skin could tolerate, and something in me knew I had to at least try.

The laundry was never the dream.
The caravan always was.

I didn’t want a rushed salon feeling or a spare room setup inside the house. I wanted to create a calm, grounding little space people actually wanted to spend time in.

So slowly… piece by piece… Eden came to life. ✨

And now?
People walk into this tiny caravan and exhale.
They feel safe here.
Seen here.
Looked after here.

Sometimes I still can’t believe how far it’s all come from that laundry setup and a whole lot of uncertainty.

I’m really grateful I kept going 💜

When your sister's sense of humour kicks in!

Fun times ahead 🤣

You’ll often see the finished hair photo…
but there’s so much that happens before that moment. ✨

The consultations.
The careful placement.
The adjusting as I go.
The checking in.
The quiet focus behind the chair.

Hairdressing isn’t just “doing hair” to me.
It’s reading the person in front of me, creating a plan that suits their lifestyle, protecting the integrity of their hair and holding space while they slow down for a little while.

Sometimes the magic is in the little details nobody notices.

The brush control.
The foil placement.
The blending.
The basin rituals.
The hands behind the finished result.

So here’s a little glimpse into the process, not just the after photo
