I’ve always been drawn to creativity and making people feel their best. I started hairdressing over 40 years ago, and from the moment I picked up the scissors, I knew I’d found my calling. It’s been a love affair with hair ever since!
I’ve been in the industry for more than four decades, and I still get excited walking into the salon each day. I love how hairdressing blends artistry, connection, and transformation – and no two days are ever the same.
Bobs and short, textured haircuts are my absolute favourite – I love the structure, movement, and edge they bring. I’m also passionate about creative colour and designing looks that really make someone feel unique and confident.
My style is creative, intuitive, and experience-driven. I listen carefully, personalise every look, and always aim for healthy, head-turning results – with a touch of luxury thanks to my beloved Kerastase.
Anything that celebrates individuality – from bold, creative colours to chic, effortless shapes. I’m all about textured finishes and looks that feel fresh, modern, and a bit playful.
Completely relaxed, cared for, and confident that they’re in safe hands. I want every client to leave feeling a little lighter, a little more fabulous – and absolutely in love with their hair.
Outside the salon, my other great love is my family. I’ve got three amazing kids (now adults!) and two cheeky bull terriers who keep me on my toes. I genuinely love life, laughter, and good energy.
Kerastase is my holy grail. It’s luxury, performance, and hair care magic in a bottle. My tip: don’t skimp on the treatment – healthy hair is always the goal, and great products make all the difference.
Opening Onje Hair and watching it grow into the beautiful, thriving salon it is today. I’m so proud of my incredible team and the community we’ve built – it’s more than a salon; it’s a family.
The energy, the support, and the laughs – my team keeps me inspired and entertained every day. We’re a salon full of heart, humour, and incredible talent. I feel so lucky to be part of it.
