“Amazing Experience”
After years of horrible experiences at other salons, it is finally such a relief finding someone as knowledgable, friendly and professional as Nat.
“Truly Professional”
Natalie is a true professional and absolutely dedicated to giving her clients the very best.
She is truly a master at cutting, and for the first time I can air dry my wavy hair and it is perfect. Thank you Nat!
“My hair looks amazing”
Natalie works absolute magic with my hair each and every visit. We've made some big changes in color and style and I always leave feeling a million bucks.
Hi I'm Nat....
“Confidence starts from the hair down”
Welcome to a forward-focused, considered approach to hairdressing — where experience, intuition, and design come together.
With over 30 years in the industry, I’ve built my career as a hairdresser in Doncaster East, Melbourne, specialising in women 40+. My work centres around The NV Method™: Form & Fall™ Cutting, luxury hair consultations, and guiding women through grey hair transitions with confidence, ease, and elegance.
For me, great hair always begins with a thoughtful consultation. I take the time to understand your lifestyle, natural hair movement, texture, and personal style before any cutting begins. Using my Form & Fall™ approach, each shape is designed to work in harmony with how your hair naturally lives — allowing it to move effortlessly, grow out beautifully, and feel aligned to who you are.
Beyond the salon, I’m the creator of the StayStyled Satin Pillowcase and the author of LOVE YOUR HAIR: Discover Your Best Hairstyle — extensions of my passion for helping women feel informed, confident, and empowered in their hair choices. I also mentor and educate fellow professionals through advanced training and workshops, supporting stylists to refine consultation skills, master grey hair transitions, and deliver truly elevated guest experiences.
For ongoing inspiration, I share insights, guidance, and reflections on the Retreat Hair Blog — from styling advice for women 40+ to thoughtful conversations around grey transitions, longevity, and luxury hair care.
