Hi I’m Shannon,
I have been in the hair industry for 27 years.
I am a wife and mother of three, wellbeing advocate and passionate curly hair specialist, I use a range of internationally recognized methods and products to cut, style and care for your unique curls.
At age 24, after not feeling well for about a year, I discovered my body was overloaded, malnourished and deteriorating from the burden of toxins as a result of six years of hairdressing.
Under the guidance of an integrative doctor, I embarked on my journey back to health and along this path I made the switch to chemical free hairdressing.
I do continual research to ensure I’m using the cleanest range possible in the world. When I moved to Cairns in 2008 there wasn’t any chemical free salons to work in, so after meeting the man I wanted to marry we started a salon from home which has now grown into a purpose built salon and a business employing 2 gorgeous apprentices.
My passion lies in naturally curly hair, who I affectionately refer to as my “Curlies”. I’m constantly advancing my skills and learning all that I can about curls, kinks and coils with the very best from around the world.
I do only take on new clients who are curly.
I invite you to come and enjoy my space of bliss.

I have learned from the very best in the world about waves, curls, kinks and coils and continue to update my skills.
