If your strands are feeling dry or brittle from the sun and salt, hydration is your new best friend. We recommend incorporating weekly deep conditioning treatments to replenish moisture—our team can guide you on the best Redken products for your specific needs. For those who spent the summer poolside, a clarifying shampoo is essential once a week to gently remove chemical residue and chlorine build-up.

To instantly bring your colour back to life, a professional Colour Gloss is the ultimate secret weapon. It revives radiance and corrects unwanted brassiness without the need for a full recolour. Finally, don’t forget that regular trims are crucial for keeping the ends sealed and preventing split ends from travelling further up. Book your repair session today and let’s get your hair back to its glossy, healthy best.

 The Trending Cut: Bouncy Layers and Flicks

Say goodbye to heavy, flat styles! The most sought-after cut for 2026 is all about movement: Bouncy Layers and Flicks.

This look takes inspiration from the classic ’90s supermodel blowout and the playful, face-framing “Butterfly Cut”. It’s a versatile, high-volume cut that uses strategic layering to create a soft, voluminous frame around the face, encouraging your hair to naturally flick outwards or inwards.

• Who it’s for: Anyone looking to add bounce, life, and dimension, particularly those with medium to long hair.
• Why it works: The soft layers add dimension and movement. It is one of the best cuts for adding volume to fine or flat hair, making it look instantly thicker and healthier. Our owner, Vincent, is a cutting specialist and can tailor these bouncy layers to perfectly complement your face shape.

The Trending Colour: The Dramatic Face Frame x 2

We all know and love the ‘money piece’ or face frame, but in 2026, it’s being dialled up. We’re calling it The Dramatic Face Frame x 2.

This trend features a brighter, bolder, and more saturated section of colour directly around the face. The “x 2” means the contrast is doubled—it’s designed to be a significant focal point that instantly brightens your eyes and complexion. Think of it as a maximalist version of this already popular technique, designed for high impact.

• Who it’s for: Clients who want to make a statement or add a dramatic pop of brightness without committing to a full colour change. It pairs perfectly with lived-in blondes, or for those transitioning to a warmer, natural-looking blonde.
• Expert Touch: Our Colour team are the gals who will perfect your frame, using Redken’s advanced colour line to achieve a high-shine, custom tone that melts beautifully into the rest of your hair.

The Trending Style: BIG Bouncy Up-Dos with Full 90s Vibes

Get ready to defy gravity! BIG Bouncy Up-Dos with Full 90s Vibes are back and perfect for any occasion.

This look combines the high-volume, polished bounce of a 90s supermodel blowout with a modern, structured updo. Think sculpted chignons, voluminous knots, and high ponytails with plenty of height and texture. The key is the bounce—it’s not meant to be stiff or overly sleek.

• How to get the look: This style relies heavily on a professional-grade blowdry and finishing products to build maximum height at the crown and a voluminous shape. A round brush, hot rollers, or large-barrel curling iron are your best friends here.
• Salon Luxury: To truly capture this look, ask for our Yutori Shiatsu Head Massage as a relaxing pre-style treatment with our apprentice Maggie, followed by a supermodel-level bouncy blowdry and up-style finish.

If you’re craving a cut with shape, structure and natural movement, personalisation is a game-changer. As Vincent puts it, “Every head of hair has different growth patterns, density and movement. You need to adapt every shortcut to specify the exact hair that you’re cutting.” By working with your natural texture instead of against it, your cut becomes more balanced, more consistent and easier to style.

For anyone wanting long-lasting shape, it’s the tailored detailing that makes the difference. Vincent builds each cut around your unique hairline, cowlicks and natural fall — creating a foundation that holds its shape even as it grows out. This considered approach adds softness where you need it, strength where it matters and structure that stays flattering for weeks.

One of our favourite parts of Vincent’s approach is how he uses texture to transform a look. Soft slicing, subtle point cutting and movement-enhancing techniques help remove weight in the right places while keeping the hair full and dimensional. It’s the kind of texturising that gives your shortcut that effortless, lived-in feel without ever looking overdone.

The level of customisation Vincent curates into each cut is what elevates a shortcut from good to truly great. Thoughtful shaping, tailored texture and a deep understanding of how your hair behaves all work together to create a style that’s easy to maintain, beautifully structured and grows out seamlessly. With the right personalised approach, your short hair can look polished, modern and completely you — no extra effort required.

If you’re craving improved scalp health, this treatment is a game changer. Gentle pressure and rhythmic massage movements help boost circulation, calm irritation and remove build-up, leaving your scalp balanced and nourished — the ideal foundation for healthy hair growth.

For anyone wanting fuller, stronger strands, the increased blood flow created during the massage encourages healthier follicle activity. Over time, this can support thicker, more resilient hair. And as a bonus, the treatment helps distribute natural oils from root to tip, adding softness, shine and moisture without any heaviness.

One of our favourite benefits is the instant relaxation. The focused massage around the scalp, temples and neck melts away tension and stress, offering a moment of calm in the middle of a busy week. It’s a small but powerful self-care ritual that boosts your overall well-being long after your appointment.The nourishing oils and conditioning products used during the treatment leave your hair feeling softer, hydrated and beautifully refreshed. If your strands have been feeling dry or lacking life, this boost of moisture helps restore smoothness, shine and manageability. With the right in-salon care, your hair can look and feel rejuvenated — effortlessly healthy, no extra fuss required.

One of the easiest and most effective steps is rinsing your hair with fresh water before you swim. Hair can only absorb so much moisture — so if it’s already wet, it will soak up far less chlorinated or salty water. Follow up with a rinse immediately afterwards to remove lingering chemicals and protect your colour from dullness or fade.

Once a week, incorporate a clarifying shampoo into your routine to gently remove chemical residue, sunscreen build-up and environmental pollutants. This helps restore softness, shine and overall hair health — especially important for blondes and colour-treated hair that are more prone to porosity.

Finally, always apply a leave-in conditioner or serum with UV protection before heading outdoors. Just like your skin, your hair needs SPF too — these lightweight, protective formulas help prevent dryness, frizz and colour fading from harsh Australian sun exposure. With the right summer care routine in place, you can enjoy the sunshine and swimming without compromising your hair’s condition.

If you love soft, natural texture, overnight styling is a game-changer. Lightly braid your hair before bed with a hydrating leave-in conditioner or a lightweight styling cream, then simply undo and tousle in the morning for natural, beachy waves — no heat required.

For an instant volume boost, dry shampoo is one of our favourite tools. It’s not just for absorbing oil — even on freshly washed hair, applying it directly to the roots helps create lift, texture and a fuller-looking finish. After styling, switch your hairdryer to cold air for a final blast — this seals the cuticle, enhances shine and gives your hair a smooth, polished look.

To finish, never underestimate the impact of accessories. A bold hair clip, silk scarf or structured headband can instantly transform your hairstyle with zero effort. And for long-term results, always clean your hot tools, as product build-up can affect their performance and your styling outcome. With the right at-home habits, your hair can look salon-fresh every day — no stress required.

A good quality purple shampoo is key — the violet pigments help counteract brassy yellow tones, keeping your colour clean and cool. Because blonde hair can be more porous and prone to dryness, we always recommend incorporating weekly deep conditioning treatments to replenish moisture and strengthen the hair — our team can guide you on the best Redken products for your specific needs.

Heat styling is another major factor, so always apply a heat protectant before using any thermal tools to prevent unnecessary damage and dullness. Try to avoid over-washing or excessive styling as it can interrupt the benefits of your home treatments — in most cases, less is more when it comes to blonde maintenance.

And lastly, regular trims are crucial for keeping the ends sealed and preventing split ends, allowing your reparative products to work more effectively. With the right professional guidance and consistent home routine, your blonde will stay bright, healthy and beautifully maintained between salon visits.
