My Monday to Friday MAED BY STUDIO

Every hairdresser develops their own philosophy over time.

These are a few of the little things I’ve come to believe after years behind the chair—not because there’s one right way to do hair, but because of the conversations I’ve had, the trust my clients have given me, and what I’ve seen make the biggest difference.

Hair is never just hair.

It’s confidence.
It’s identity.
It’s comfort.
Sometimes it’s the beginning of a new chapter.

I’d love to know… which slide resonated with you the most? Or is there a hair belief you swear by? 🤎

7 days

From bright blonde to rich, dimensional copper. 🍂

When my client asked AI which hair colour would suit her best, copper kept coming up. So we decided to trust it… and honestly, we think it absolutely nailed it.

Would you let AI choose your next hair colour?

What a mega babe ✨✨

I genuinely don’t think there’s a single thing we could do to this girl’s hair that she couldn’t pull off. Every look somehow becomes her look. 🤎
Thank you for trusting me with your hair through every season. I adore you.

Mr King’s journey started when his Mrs quietly asked if I could sneak him in on a Saturday…

The answer was an easy yes. 🤍

Fast forward to now, and he spends more time in my chair than she does.

Every second week, it’s his time to switch off, unwind, and enjoy a little self-care. Because looking after your hair should feel like more than just another trip to the barber—it should be an experience.

Safe to say, we’ve converted him. 😉

Hey July, it’s time for me to renter the chat and here’s a bit of a life lately dump. Yours truely Sonja x

A bonnet for the girls who treat hair care like ceremony. ⭐️⭐️⭐️

Yesterday I had the pleasure of spending the day with Isla and the team of artists behind this delicious shoot

It felt like stepping into a dream world of soft textures, vintage mirrors, ritualistic beauty and slow moments. A reminder that hair care can be more than maintenance — it can be art, self-expression and a little act of devotion to yourself.
