Majella Official Launch

Last month we had the pleasure of officially launching Majella Stylist & Salon Consultant with some special guests who have supported us along our journey of opening our styling boutique on Brisbane’s northside.

It was a great opportunity to celebrate what we have achieved in such a short period of time as well as meet some new friends along the way.

The champagne flowed as our guests took the opportunity to explore the boutique, some of our service features and enjoy delicious treats from The Dawn Tea Rooms who catered the evening. 

Rent-A-Classic added to the fun of the evening by bringing along their classic mustang, which became a great prop for guest selfies.

We were entertained throughout the evening by Richard Griffiths who played tracks from his recently released CD, Trilogy and had some fun giving away prizes and goodie bags to all who came.

We’d like to thank everyone who attended and we hope to see you all again soon.

The Total Look

With the 2017 Awards season over, we’ve been treated to a glimpse of couture fashion influences for the coming year.  While the dresses are always the standout for the media and bloggers, if the celebrity’s hair and make-up isn’t to perfection, that will become the defining element of their look - Cher’s black wig still ranks as one of the worst Oscar looks of all time.

Beyond the glitz of Hollywood, Tiffany Trump reportedly shared a $300 budget with her mother for hair and make-up for her father’s presidential inauguration. That’s a quarter of the budget for her Aruna Seth shoes for the event.

So what really should you budget for your hair and make-up for an event? 

Consider most events from Lounge Suit to Black Tie have a photographer on hand, you could find yourself staring back at you from the local social round-up magazines and blogs.  Not to mention being tagged into online images from that night by your friends and colleagues.
 

While it is important to work within your personal budget, how often have you spent more money on your shoes than your hair and make-up for an important event - and how often have you spent more on your hair and make-up than the rest of your outfit?

Summer and your hair

Queenslanders enjoy a very active, outdoor lifestyle and even more so over the summer.  In the south east corner, we cool off at the beach, cheer along our favourite teams and athletes at the cricket and tennis, and make use of the long days to enjoy more time outside before and after work. 

It’s a great lifestyle - but our hair and skin sure take a beating.

You’ve probably noticed your styles may not hold the same, colours lose their richness and damage creeps up on your ends.

With over 25 years in the hair and beauty industry I have seen a lot of changes in product technology and ingredients and am proud to offer I.C.O.N.’s India range in my services.

Inspired by ancient Indian practices and featuring restorative oils such as Moringa and Argan, this range is designed to heal, nourish and strengthen hair. 

The range includes shampoo and conditioner as well as a range of restorative products including healing oil (with Aloe and Quinoa), a conditioning masque that blends coconut and olive oil and a curl cream with extracts of Quinoa and Sunflower seeds.

I can’t wait for you to try these products – they are produced ecologically and ethically and leave your hair with a delicate amber fragrance as well as delivering great lasting restorative results.

If your hair is in need of a recharge and some TLC after the summer break, it’s time to try the I.C.O.N. range. Relax and enjoy a luxury I.C.O.N. India Deep Moisture Deluxe Hair Treatment including all the embellishments and a beautiful blow wave. Receive 20% off.  (valid till 30th April 2017)

Welcome to MAJELLA!

Thank you for visiting my blog - here is where I will share with you my knowledge and insights from over 25 years in the hair and beauty industry. 

As you know, hair and beauty, styles and colours, move and change seasonally with fashion.  Finding that right hair colour and style for you can be just as tricky and time consuming as finding the right dress or style of jeans and that is what brings me here: hair and make-up are the foundation of your style.

I’ve created my styling room with the busy woman in mind, you might be her – juggling work and family, putting yourself down the list of priorities, wearing the same hair and make-up because you have it down to a fine art and it is only 15 minutes out of your morning?  Following industry and technology developments, classical styles and fashion trends I work with clients to design their image– defining your style.

As fashion and trends evolve, so should your foundations.  Not all the time, but we all know the feeling of going to the salon and walking out with a completely different hair style – you feel renewed and that flows through your self-confidence.  I want you to have that feeling about your style long after you’ve left the styling room. 

At your personal consultation I will work with you to define your own style – from hair, make-up and nails to get you through day to day living; looking and feeling amazing!  

Please come back and visit my blog, I promise lots of good insights, advice and good stories.  I look forward to you visiting me here and enjoying my future posts.
