  • The main reason for this is that I need to perform an allergy test, also known as a patch test, which must be done at least 48 hours before your colour appointment. This is in line with the manufacturer's instructions and, most importantly, for your safety. While colour allergies are rare, they can be severe.

    Once the test is done, I ask that you monitor the area for any signs of a reaction over the next 48 hours. This could include redness, itching, or swelling. If you experience any of these symptoms, please wash the test area thoroughly, seek medical advice if needed, and let me know.

    Now, with the serious stuff covered, a consultation is a great way for both of us to see if we’re a good match and if I can achieve the results you’re after. I may also perform a strand test to check how your hair reacts with lightener or colour.

  • As a Colour Specialist, colour is my true passion! While I'm skilled in all areas of colouring, I particularly love creating low-maintenance styles like balayage, lived-in blondes, and dimensional brunettes.

    I thrive on the challenge of colour correction, and there's nothing more satisfying than seeing a transformation come to life!

    In 2025, I’m honing in on grey blending, an area that has become a special focus for me. I find it incredibly rewarding to help women embrace their natural beauty and feel empowered to stop hiding every sign of aging.

  • I currently don’t offer bridal hair or updos, perming, or advanced barbering services like fades.

    While I love enhancing shades like reds, coppers, and the occasional pink toner with vivid colours, if you're looking for bold, all-over vivid hues, you might be better suited to another stylist!
