Urban Cottage

You may not believe this, but we transitioned from full head of Foils (level 9.5), to reverse balayage (twice), to full global colour (level 6).
And then back to this beautiful blonde, over a span of about 6 months.

And we were able to keep the health and condition of the hair intact during the last blonding process.
All thanks to my beautiful client being patient, using the correct home care, and of course using a GREAT product in salon. .

Formulation:
Roots megix lift 9 + 12vol
Mid lengths and ends (previously lightened) megix lift C + fix.
Root tap 7.1 + 8.3 + fix
Toner 10.12 + 10.3 + 0.00 + fix + morph

Massage therapy focused on your well being, an opportunity to pause, reset, and reconnect with yourself.

Life has a way of settling into our bodies.
The stress you carry.
The tension you ignore.
The aches you’ve learned to live with.
The exhaustion that follows you home.

Whether you're looking for deep tissue work, myofascial release, relaxation massage, or a treatment tailored to your body's unique needs, every session is designed to help you move, feel, and live better.

Your body carries you through every season of life. Give it the care it deserves.

Modern Mullet maintenance for this legend.

She got that main character energy, and we are here for it.

Creating pockets of dimension on a natural blond (level 8,8.5) gives main villain energy.

Alas, we created magic 👌🏼

Her first EVER full colour service. This balayage with a root shadow absolutely smashed our expectations.
Another low light photo taken after sunset, but a little tweak of the brightness brings it to life.
Full service done using

A little airtouch and root smudge to bring some dimension into this blonde.
A transition from bright, level 10, to level 6 smudge and airtouch.
Toned the ends using 9.00N + 9S

Created using

A little creative pop of colour for this queen.
She arrived with previously lightened hair, with about 4cm regrowth, all around the hairline.
Created the illusion of a block color technique, by using the vivids (royal blue and fuchsia pink).
And giving her that angel ring to round it off 🤌🏼

A color refresh for this queen.
Swipe to see our starting point.
Was the perfect canvas for this 🙌🏼

We transitioned this Queen from a global bleach (with quite a regrowth 🙃🙂, about 65% of the hair), to this beautifully blended blonde balayage.

Finished it off with a good cut, getting rid of all the dead ends.

Used Megix10 lift 9+ with 12vol, toned using 10.12 + 0.00 + fix, with a dash of 10.3. Added morph to bring it down to an acidic toner.

Service Spotlight:
Massage & Access Bars at Urban Cottage

Your body holds more than muscles and bones.
It holds stress, memory, and patterns of protection.

At Urban Cottage, bodywork is nervous system focused, slow, and intuitive.
I don’t chase pain. I listen to the whole system.

What I offer:

• Intuitive, therapeutic massage
My work is myofascial-informed and pattern-based. I follow lines of tension, density, and holding through the body instead of treating one sore spot in isolation.

• Nervous system led touch
I work closer to the centre of the body first, using strong but safe pressure to help the system feel secure enough to let go, weaving into my work DNIC-principles.

• Access Bars sessions
A gentle, non-invasive head-based modality where specific points are lightly touched to help quiet mental noise, reduce stress patterns, and create space in the mind and body.

For men and women who:
• Carry long term stress
• Feel stuck in their body or mind
• Are tired of holding it all together

This is a trauma aware, consent led space.
Nothing is rushed. Nothing is forced.
Your body sets the pace.
