Meet Georgia ✨
Her first appointment with me, and the start of a full hair journey.
After significant hair loss from an illness a few years back, Georgia felt her hair had never been the same. But when I removed her old extensions, I found something really encouraging the first three inches of her natural hair are actually a lovely thickness. Much of the thinness she feels on the ends is down to past bleaching not her hair itself.
So the plan is simple leave her own hair alone as much as possible. We’re creating all the colour through the extensions and keeping a soft, low-maintenance, lived-in colour through the top.
Her extensions are raw single donor hair, custom coloured and density-matched by me. To give Georgia back the hair she used to have. Natural, lightweight, and comfortable on her scalp

Today my heart is so full I hardly know where to begin.
I held my very first Slavic workshop, and it was truly one of the most special days of my life. Two beautiful girls joined me, and the warmth, openness and love in that room was just gorgeous.
This has been a long road. So much work, so many quiet hours of learning, practising and doubting, all so that one day I could share this with others in the right way, with the right amount of knowledge and with real care.
To the wonderful women who came thank you for trusting me. Thank you for your time, your curiosity, your smiles and your beautiful energy. You made my first step into sharing this something I will treasure always.
This is only the beginning, and I can’t wait for what comes next. If you feel called to join a future workshop, I’d love to welcome you with open arms.
The re-tipping process
This is where the real customisation happens
I’m re-tipping the factory-made keratin bonds and carefully fanning the hair out before creating my strips. The more you fan the hair, the lower density the bond becomes which gives you so much more control over the final result.
With this strip, 1 kept more density through the edges and softer density through the middle so when I cut the bonds down, I have different weight options depending on the area of the head I’m working on
This is exactly why I love customising extensions so much. Being able to take factory hair and turn it into something that feels completely bespoke for my client honestly fills my cup
And the difference in the final install is Literally night and day.
If this is something you want to learn how to do yourself, my Keratin Bond Mastery waitlist is now OPEN for the next enrolment
Removing short hairs is a completely normal part of working with raw hair. Everyone’s shed rate is different and everyone’s hair grows differently, so some ponytails come with very few short hairs and others come with a lot more.
Some suppliers remove them before selling, and some send the ponytail exactly as it was cut. There’s no right or wrong, it’s just raw hair in its most natural state.
My tip: when buying raw Slavic ponytails, always order a little more weight than you think you need. Removing short hairs can sometimes cost you up to 30g, hair that may not suit the length or look your client wants.
Hair sourced from .hair
Let’s clear something up… I DO still use factory hair!
It absolutely has its place, and for the right client it’s perfect. I’m not against it at all.
But here’s the thing I can’t get my head around. The keratin bonds brands are selling just aren’t fit for purpose to apply straight out the packet. That’s why every single piece of factory hair I use gets customised before it goes anywhere near my client’s head.
When brands actually start looking at what stylists are working with, and how professionals are changing their hair before it’s even applied, I honestly think it’s going to change everything.
Do you customise your factory hair, or use it straight out the packet?

“But why do you have an office? You’re a hairdresser…”
But why CAN’T I have an office because I’m a hairdresser? 😂
I think sometimes people forget that being a hairdresser and actually running a hairdressing business are two completely different things.
The hours behind the chair are just the bit everyone sees.
There’s tax returns, VAT, emails, DMs, orders, stock, accounts, content, planning and client prep.
I have online education to run. I teach education. I plan workshops. I have meetings with my incredible VA. I’m constantly planning, creating, organising and working on what’s coming next.
And then there’s the actual hair.
Specialising in completely tailor-made hair extensions means SO much of my work happens before I even step foot in the salon. Ordering, colour matching, preparing hair, sorting ponytails, making bonds and planning applications all before my client even sits in my chair.
So actually… why wouldn’t I have an office?
For years working from home meant the sofa, the kitchen table, my laptop on my knee and work slowly creeping into every part of my home.
Now I have somewhere that work belongs.
I can walk into my office, switch into work mode, have everything in one place, get my s**t done and then probably the most important part close the door when I’m finished.
I know having the space in my home to do this is a complete luxury and something I’ll never take for granted.
But now I have the option?
Hell yeah I have an office.
Because yes, I’m a hairdresser.
But what I do is SO much more than the hours you see me standing behind a chair.
And I think every self-employed hairdresser will understand that one.
