balayage

ˈbalɪjɑːʒ/

noun

The French Word to Sweep' or Paint'.
"She specialises in Balayage colouring"

And indeed she does ! She', being our girl Grace ...

Grace recently held a sweeping blending workshop in the salon to help us understand why she has a client base built of gorgeous natural looking sun kissed hair beauties strutting out of our salon doors day after day.
The work is freehand yes! But even though the technique appears simple there is far more work that goes into her finesse colouring sessions, picking up her skills from the famous colour melting salon - The Fox and The Hair' in Wollongong during a workshop, Grace has perfected the art and been crowned our in salon Balayage Queen.

View the gallery from the workshop ...

Bookings and Quotes for Balayage are available via phone or online through the Contact Us link. Prices start at $168 and vary individually.

We're losing our cool over the Glitter Hair trend ! We've seen it everywhere from the Catwalk to the red carpet and celebrity bloggers. With us eagerly ushering July away and now sitting on the back end of winter, it's time we experiment with some new and creative ways to seriously glam up our usual go to' party styles and bring back our inner girly love of all that shimmer's !

We have created two party ready variations taken from our favourite influencers that can go straight to your bathroom, just add the Spice Girls greatest hits and don't forget to use the hairbrush as a microphone...

This cute & colourful glitter do' is a fun option for festival season and the party life. Create a zig-zag part and tie into two pony tails either side, to create more volume use a crimping iron to create texture, tease and tie hair into bun's. Mix craft glitter with Joico - Power Gel' and get to painting ... Experiment with texture by altering the ratio of glitter to gel.
Don't be afraid to sprinkle glitter everywhere and set using Joico - Joimist Hairspray.

This stylish & edgey look can be the ultimate rock do' for a night on the town with the girls or even for a special occasion complimenting evening attire. Start by sectioning hair from bottom to top, layering Joico - Power Gel'. Using a wide tooth comb, create movement and volume by working the hair in a backwards motion. Once hair is sitting in a natural slick back position use Joico - Gold Dust Shimmer Finishing Spray' working more layers of Dust at the top of the roots and taper off at the back ends - Voila !

- Don't let anyone ever dull your sparkle ! "

A special thanks to our talented Stylists Kaitlyn & Zenae who created the glitter looks on one another and also volunteered to be our gorgeous models ... Aren't they the cutest ! xX
All Joico products featured are available in the salon.

Have you ever dreamed of floaty dresses and flowers in your hair ? ... So have we !

As make-up and hair stylists there is one thing we know for sure - Classic, feminine and natural is a look that will never die ... especially for a Bride.

So when we were asked to collaborate on a wedding inspired photo shoot with an up and coming local photographer, how could we refuse ? We asked two of our expert Hair & Beauty guru's, Brooklyn Dunn and Grace Brennan to brief us on how they created the look.

Hanna's look is dewy and soft.

A bold lip can still be every part effortless. Keeping to a classic tone is the trick for a timeless feel.

I started Hanna's look by using a flat iron to randomly curl her lengthy hair. Mixing up the direction of the curls and positioning the flat iron from vertical to horizontal motions is the way to create a full and natural look.

A big thank-you to Bella Casa Homewares' Dubbo for allowing us to style and shoot in their Showroom. Irissa Knight, the flower queen of The Meadow Floral Design' Dubbo for her beautiful work on the gorgeous fresh flower crown that we all wanted to take home and keep xx
