Grey Hair Transition on a Budget:
There’s a conversation I have more often than you might think. It usually starts with honesty — sometimes whispered, sometimes apologetic: “I want to embrace my natural colour… but I’m worried about the cost.” “I don’t want to look unkempt while I grow it out.” “I still want to feel polished and confident.” If that’s you, you’re not alone — and you’re not wrong for wanting both. This blog is here to talk openly about something that often goes unsaid: how to approach a grey ha

How to Go Grey Without Looking Old — The Secret Is in the Haircut
When I meet a guest for the first time in my salon for her consultation — to explore what direction she’ll take on her empowering journey of embracing her natural hair colour — one of the first things she often says is: “I just don’t want to look old.” And it’s true — for decades, society has painted a picture of grey, silver, or white hair as something only seen on the elderly.
