Style on Cue Vredekloof

The person behind the chair…

People often see the finished hair, but they don’t always see what happens in between.

Behind this chair, I’ve celebrated promotions, engagements, birthdays, and fresh starts. I’ve also sat in silence with clients carrying heartbreak, loss, uncertainty, and the weight of life.

Hair is never just hair. Sometimes it’s finding confidence again. Sometimes it’s letting go of the past. Sometimes it’s simply taking a moment to be cared for when the world feels overwhelming.

Being trusted with that is something I never take for granted.

Every client who sits in my chair brings a story, and I feel honored to be a small part of it. Thank you for trusting my hands, opening your heart, and allowing me to do more than create beautiful hair.

This chair has taught me that the most meaningful transformations don’t always happen in the mirror—they happen within.

And for that, I will always be grateful. 🤍

Reverse balayage on a first time client today🥰

A reverse balayage is a technique I use when I want to add dimension back into the hair while also melting/bringing down a root color. She was wanting to be more of a golden honey blonde with a warm root. What she came in with was washed out blonde with no depth and a very brassy root left from an old color.

First I paint on a root color, but this isn’t like a simple touch-up. We want it to be painted strategically so it seamlessly blends with the rest of the hair and helps give a “balayage” feel😜😅

Anyways, ✨obsessed.

Warm Caramel Bronde🤎🤎🤎

A quiet, beautifully blended take on dimensional bronde. The base is a warm caramel-brown with just enough depth to feel grounded, while honey and golden-wheat highlights are painted through the surface layers in soft, diffused ribbons that catch the light naturally.

The placement is concentrated around the surface and face-frame, keeping the underneath slightly richer for that "expensive shadow" effect.

Cut into long layers with a soft V-perimeter and styled straight with a subtle inward bend at the ends, the finish is glossy and minimal. It's the kind of color that grows out gracefully and looks polished without ever looking try-hard.

🌸 Moedersdag 🌸

Aan elke mamma,
elke vrou wat omgee,
elke hand wat vertroos,
en elke siel wat liefde gee…
Mag jy vandag onthou word
vir die klein dinge wat jy elke dag doen —
die omgee, die opofferings,
die gebede en die liefde sonder einde. 🤍

Soos ’n blom wat stilweg mooi word,
bring jy lig, warmte en vrede
waar jy ook al gaan.
Mag hierdie Moedersdag
vir jou gevul wees met rus, liefde
en spesiale oomblikke saam met dié
wat jou hart die liefste het. 🌷
