About Us
Where it Started
Iris, a seasoned professional with over 30 years in the hairdressing industry, has nurtured her passion for both hairstyling and entrepreneurship, culminating in the creation of this exceptional salon.
Her journey began with training in Belgium, followed by a unique experience styling hair aboard cruise ships. Settling in the scenic south of England, she honed her skills at an extraordinary salon, working alongside some of the world’s top hairstylists.
This invaluable experience paved the way for Iris to embark on her entrepreneurial adventure. Taking a leap of faith, she founded her own salon, combining her talent and vision to offer exceptional hairstyling services. As life unfolded and her family grew, Iris sought the perfect environment for her daughter, leading her to choose Australia as their new home.
In Australia, Iris took on diverse roles in her salon journey, from
managing a home-based salon to a smaller boutique establishment and
now, a thriving large-scale salon with an exceptional team. The story is
still unfolding, and Iris is excited for the next chapter in her journey,
making her mark in the Australian hairdressing scene. Welcome to this
exciting phase of her incredible hairdressing adventure.

My first experience in a hair salon and I could not have possibly had a better experience!!! If I could rate more than 5 stars, I would for sure!!! Best cut, beautiful layers, the staff were ALL so kind and welcoming, the atmosphere was so relaxing and beautiful, great parking access, quick service, and would definitely go again!!!Posted on Narelle HannayTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Soooo happy! I asked for a detailed cut with a lot of layering to really shape it well. I have tried other hairdressers and my hair often felt dull and flat instead of light and full. OMG I am wrapped with the outcome! Iris took the time to listen to what I was hoping for and by god the outcome was so much better than I even imagined. So happy! Thank you SO much Iris, 5 star for sure!Posted on Claire AmandaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Love my new hair colour and my head massage was amazing!
