Paige - Senior Stylist
I have recently moved to Adelaide from WA. I am enjoying all it has to offer, a glass of wine, beaches and camping with my husband and two beautiful children.
I am so excited to join the Blonde team and create beautiful hair. I love a chat, good laugh and my signature head massage is to die for!
Hairdressing has never been a job to me as it is my absolute passion. I love all things long, blonde, foiling and beautiful bouncy blowdry’s. Cutting a blunt bob is my jam. Most of all I love the feeling I get when my client walks out the salon door feeling and looking amazing and I have helped to make their day much brighter.
Tia - Emerging Stylist
Our bubbly emerging stylist Tia makes a mean coffee, loves a chat and has mastered a beautiful blow-dry!
Having recently moved to Adelaide from country Victoria to become a hairdresser she is eager to learn everything the industry has to offer!
Tia has always loved sports and has a competitive streak, but we think she has a kind nature and that sweet country soul that will just make you smile.
Being a dancer for 10+ years she is no stranger to hard work and we’re looking forward to seeing the stylist she blossoms into!
Tessa - Salon Coordinator
Tessa is our sausage-dog-obsessed, cheese & wine lover. And, as head of house, she is our go to organisation chick!
Coming from a hairdressing background, she knows just what is needed to for your service to run smoothly. From the moment you call to make your appointment to when you have finished with your stylist and have your new 'do.
You will find her floating through the salon, looking after our clients and our team, taking photos for social media and managing our stock.
We like to call her our fairy that saves the day so the team can devote their undivided attention to you!
