HI Sara

We really enjoyed our experience with you  and were completely satisfied with the trials, communication and end result. You were so helpful leading up to the event and of course on the day, and Tracy and I both felt very relaxed on the day (surprisingly!) Hair stayed in place from beginning to end and we would definitely recommend you to future clients!
Thanks again for your help and hopefully we will be able to make it back to Queenstown in the near future and I will drop in and say hi!
Best Regards

130208miaeben_180 Dear Sara,

The girls and I loved our hair styles! You made a work of art in my hair.
The second style when I removed the hair pins was as gorgeous as the first. I had tight little ringlets that looked amazing with my low back dress in the reception!
Thank you so much for creating a fun and exciting atmosphere on my wedding day.
I will be recommending you!
Thank you, Mia x

we just got back from our honeymoon yesterday.
We both had an amazing day and everything came together perfectly!!
Thank you so much for all your hard work on the day doing the hair for myself, my bridesmaids and the mothers! The hair was just what I wanted for me and my bridesmaids – I know their hair was difficult to work with! Lisa”

Everybody loves blond summer hair

Posted: January 30th, 2012 | Author: | Filed under: SALON NEWS | Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

it is summer, we are loving the hot sunny long days. If you are still looking for an easy colour to take you through to autum here is some inspiration for you. Experiment with colour, take hints from nature: radiant as the sun, warm as a long summer sunset. And don’t forget to look after your hair as you look after your skin. Always apply heat and UV protector spray if you are spending the day in the sun, to avoid your hair becoming too dry and straw-like. Use an enriching mask instead of your normal conditioner to give your hair extra boost and protection from the strong sun rays. Enjoy summer you absolutely fabulous people!


Gorgeous soft curls paired with the classic block fringe. What a great style!

Beautiful, simply beautiful. Enjoy the spring sun, girls


Get this style!

Posted: October 14th, 2011 | Author: | Filed under: SALON NEWS | Tags: , , , , , , ,

Get This Look:

For this hairstyle, you will need hairspray and a large barrel curling iron. If your hair is curly, blow dry it straight first. If your hair is straight or wavy, let it air-dry if possible.

First, part your hair slightly to the side. Starting with the bottom layers, grab 1 to 2 inch pieces of hair, spray each piece with hairspray, then curl. Stop winding the hair around the iron a few inches from the root – you want to keep those semi-straight.

Slip on a stretchy headband over your finished hair, then arrange the front sections so that your bangs are tucked behind your ear. Again, spray with hairspray to keep everything in place.
