Six chairs, no rush. Cut, colour, treatment and editorial styling by a team that has dressed hair for Vogue, Harper’s, and eleven seasons of Melbourne Fashion Week.
i. Bridal blonde · copper undertonePricing starts from. Final estimate is given in chair after a five-minute consultation, before anything happens. We will not put scissors near your hair, or colour on it, until you have agreed to the price.
A long consultation, a dry cut to find the shape, a wet refinement.
Free-hand balayage with our senior colour team. Sun-licked, not striped.
Box-dye unwinds, brassy lifts, faded teen colour. Free 20-min consult required.
In-chair or on-location. Pricing depends on travel + party size.
Every stylist on the floor has at least eight years in the chair. Three are award winners; two teach colour at the Davines Academy. None of them will sell you a treatment you don’t need.

Ines · portrait vi.Bond-repair, scalp work, and the keratin chair. Will diagnose a hair problem in 30 seconds. Has never been wrong.
The first six weeks are an act of faith. We’ve been holding hands through it for a decade - here’s the four-stage map we use to keep shape, while length catches up to intention.
How Soren talks a client out of a box dye, and into a slow lift across three appointments. Patience as a colour technique.
A short, slightly cranky letter from Ines on the difference between a mask, a bond-builder, and a protein. Most of you need the third.
Five steps, two minutes. We’ll confirm by SMS within the hour and send a reminder 48 h before. A 20 % deposit secures the slot; refundable up to 24 h ahead.
Up a brass stair, above the bookshop. Six chairs, north-facing light, twelve plants. A pot of Tea Drop on the bench, a kid’s corner with crayons that actually work.
