Use ‘The Hair App’ now
Imagine if you could walk into your salon with a summary of your lifestyle, hair history, hair habits, and personal style in your pocket, which magically appeared in front of you, along with your moodboards, when you sat in the chair.
Imagine if everything your salon professional’s hands and training tells them about your hair and scalp was translated into an easy to understand visual language magically displayed on the app in front of you…
And how would it be if that knowledge and insight was translated into a personalised haircare regimen, including in-salon treatments and take-home haircare that you could access on your phone in the chair and beyond?
Imagine a salon experience where you could feel secure about what will or won’t suit you… if you had a facial analysis which matched you with styles that suit similar face shapes, or being able to try on a different colour before you commit? Imagine how much easier and confident you will feel communicating your ideas to your hairstylist?
The Hair App – helping you and your salon professional connect, and create in the chair and beyond…Book for a one on one with us, or simply use your appointment prep-link that has been sent to you prior to your booked salon appointment.

Super-stylist sums it up!
The salon and I have been having a hair affair for a while now, over 17 years, in fact, I’m pleased to say that I got to take charge of the place back in 2007 and haven’t looked back, well maybe just for a second to see how far I have come!
Hair keeps me interested and no two heads are the same, there are not many jobs that are as social, or give you a great feeling of satisfaction from helping others to look the best they can be.
My clients are the type of people who trust my ideas and are confident in my style suggestions. I do it all- if you want a great creative short style book me, seamless colouring and multidimensional colour selection – yeah I paint hair too.
I’m really proud of my team, I see them succeeding and taking on my advice, then go off and develop their own techniques. I know training myself and my team is what creates an environment that clients can trust.
I’m not sure where my competitive streak will lye now with all the changes in live hair comps – but hey if I get the ‘expression session’ paddle boarding trophy again ill be happy!
