Elise at Kowai Hair Studio Mondays, Thursdays and alternating Saturdays
She tried to leave … but realised she missed the salon (and you all!) a little too much.
After stepping away in November to focus on family and her own business, Elise realised she missed the scissors, the chats, and the salon vibes way too much. She’s back with us (on reduced hours) and we couldn’t be happier. Find

❤️ Dear Elise,

I just wanted to take a moment to say a huge thank you for everything you’ve done over the past two years. It feels crazy to think how far Kowai Hair Studio has come since you joined — and honestly, I couldn’t have built it into what it is today without you.

From day one, you’ve brought so much talent, energy, and heart to the salon. You’ve helped shape the vibe, looked after clients like they were your own, and been such a big part of making Kowai feel like home for everyone who walks in.

On a personal level, you’ve been there through so much — kids’ birthdays, the chaos of school holidays, and even some of the hardest times with losing family members. Having your support, laughs, and friendship through it all has meant more than I can ever really say.

I’m so proud of what we’ve achieved together, and I’m genuinely excited for you as you focus on your next chapter with your husband, your family, and the earthworks business. You deserve all the good things coming your way.

Thank you for everything you’ve added — to the business and to my life. You’ll always be part of the Kowai Hair Studio story.

With lots of love and appreciation,
Tash 🤍
