The details matter.
Behind every colour, cut and transformation is skill, precision and years of experience.
At Ikon, great hair and experience doesn’t happen by accident.

🚨 THE DATE HAS BEEN SET 🚨
The spin everyone has been waiting for is officially happening… 🎉
On 28th August 2026 at 1:30pm LIVE on Instagram (), we will spin the wheel and one lucky winner will receive a week in my beautiful apartment in Tavira ☀️🇵🇹
Here’s how it works:
🎡 1 place on the wheel = €20
🎡 2 places = €40
🎡 3 places = €60
…and so on.
The more places you take, the more chances you have to win ✨
But this is about so much more than a holiday.
Every single donation is helping myself and my son support the incredible work of Mellon Educate in building schools in the townships of Africa ❤️
Education changes lives, and together we are helping create opportunities and brighter futures for children who deserve them.
I want to say a HUGE thank you to everyone who has donated so far.
Your kindness, generosity, support, and encouragement truly mean so much to us. The support around this has been incredible and we are beyond grateful.
There is still time to get your name on the wheel… 🎡
Who’s going to be our Tavira winner? ☀️✨

Stripes? What stripes?
What you’re actually seeing is intentional placement for textured hair, because softness, brightness and dimension have to survive the curl pattern, density and movement once styled 🌟
Valerie’s result was planned perfectly by Maria & Nicole from consultation to finish
