Struggling to find a hairdresser you truly love? Discover how a personalised hair consultation can help you find a salon that aligns with your style, values, and lifestyle — anywhere in the world.

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

Transitioning to your natural hair colour — especially after years or even decades of regular dyeing — is one of the most liberating and empowering decisions a woman can make. I have had the privilege of guiding hundreds of guests through this journey, helping them step into a version of themselves that feels confident, authentic, and beautifully aligned — supported by thoughtful colour planning and a free-hand haircut designed to honour face shape, bone structure, texture, l

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. Think about children’s storybooks: the grandparents always have white hair, wrinkles, and dress

If you’ve been told that a “Demi colour”  will help you blend your greys  and eliminate the need for regular touch-ups, you’re not alone.Across social media and even within salons, the term Demi  is being used loosely — and often misleadingly — to describe a service that promises a soft grow-out, long-lasting colour, and no visible regrowth line. As a grey hair transition and colour blending specialist , I want to help you understand what a Demi really is, what it can  and ca
