Charley
With over 13 years in the hair industry, Charlene (“Charley”) brings a wealth of experience, creativity and passion to every appointment.
She loves creating a relaxing atmosphere where clients leave feeling both beautiful and confident. Specialising in colour and foil work, Charley has a particular flair for blondes, balayage and lived-in, natural tones.
Her 6 years in Melbourne were a career highlight. This gave her the opportunity to attend hair shows, refine her skills and gain valuable industry experience.
Whether you’re after a fresh new look or subtle, natural enhancement, Charley’s expertise ensures you’ll love the result.
Ashley
As a seasoned hairdresser with over 10 years in the industry, Ash brings a wealth of experience and a keen eye for detail to every client.
Her expertise spans a wide range of services and techniques. Ash is passionate about crafting looks that not only enhance your natural beauty but also reflect your individual style. She is committed to providing a personalized experience that leaves you feeling confident and refreshed.
Becky
Becky has been hairdressing for 23 years and the highlight of her career is moving to New Zealand and being pushed out of her comfort zone and pushing her skills to another level.
Becky's passion is colouring, especially enjoying creating lived in blondes! She also loves any kind of bob haircut and doesn't think you can beat a stylish bob, creating movement and making it look beautiful.
Jo
With over 22 years in the hairdressing industry, Jo brings a blend of experience, creativity and genuine passion to every client.
Growing up on a top farming property taught Jo the value of hard work and precision - qualities that now define her approach to hair. Jo discovered her love for hairdressing at just 15 and by her third year of training, she'd already placed second in a national cutting competition.
Precision cutting is Jo's specialty and she takes pride in creating styles that suit each client’s personality and lifestyle. When she's not behind the chair, Jo is a proud mum of two and loves spending time in the great outdoors.
Her mission is simple: to make you feel confident, refreshed and completely yourself.
