Philippa’s Tips

  • Leave the lather of your shampoo in your hair for 1 minute, then rinse out. Also do the same with your conditioner (can be a bit longer than a minute) and voila! Beautiful hair!
  • “If it can’t be reduced, reused, repaired, rebuilt, refurbished, recycled or composted, then it should be restricted, redesigned or removed from production.” ~ Pete Seagar

STYLIST

Hair has been Mikayla’s passion for as long as she can remember, and in the five years she has been working as a stylist she has won multiple awards and even styled hair at New Zealand Fashion Week. From natural styles to creative looks, Mikayla loves them all and enjoys everything hairdressing has to offer. She specialises in blonde colour services and says one of the best parts of her job is meeting all of her beautiful clients.
Mikayla’s Tips:
  • Use professional products and lock in a weekly treatment to keep your hair in prime condition.
  • If your hair is past your shoulders, run some serum through it and braid it each night before bed to prevent any damage whilst sleeping.
  • Salons and clients should choose microfibre towels, as they take less energy to wash and dry.
