If you’re anything like us, you have two voices in your head. One is screaming “Omg! How on earth is it 2020?!” while the other joyfully exclaims “Yay! New haircut!” The coolest thing about those ever-changing hair trends is that there’s always another one around the corner – and no matter what style you choose, there’s always new hair waiting to sprout so you can start experimenting yet again.

So whether it’s something familiar, a retro revival, or something new entirely, the new year is the perfect opportunity to experiment with new styles. 2020 is set to be the year of relaxed styles with bold and blended colours creating effortlessly stylish haircuts. Get ready to be inspired! By the time you’ve looked through our 2020 hair trends you’ll be booking an appointment with your local hairstylist:).

2020 Hair Trend #1 The Asymmetrical Bob

When you’re ready to live on the edge why not start with your hair!! We love the shorter, bolder asymmetrical, disconnected bob hairstyle that our beautiful reception angel has gone for in the pic above!

A bolder, more fun statement than the classic bob, the asymmetrical version has hair longer on one side than the other. Customise it for your taste with curly hair and colour.

2020 Hair Trend #2 Red Hair Colours

Only 1 to 2 percent of the population has naturally red hair, but that doesn’t stop the rest of us achieving the same look as Rumer Willis, Isla Fisher or Amy Adams. Although there is plenty of colour competition these days, the many different shades of red hair continued to be among the most popular choices into 2020.

2020 Hair Trend #3: The Uncut Haircut

It’s a hairstyle trend that looks like it has grown out – the shape still looks great, it has texturised ends, and lots of movement and shape. It’s not a bad haircut but rather a great haircut that has seen the passing of time.

Sitting between the ear lobe and shoulder, it should be noted that the uncut haircut is NOT the same as just letting your hair grow out. When your hair grows out, your hairstyle naturally loses shape as your hair grows at different lengths. You still need shape and balance and loads of texture and only a good haircut will help you manage this look well.

2020 Hair Trend #4: Hidden Extremes In Colour

This hairstyle is worn by someone with natural looking colour all over, but sporting some extreme colour underneath the top layers – like a strong vivid colour.

This style can be enhanced by undercuts and is perfect for the person who wants something bright and creative but needs to maintain a certain level of professionalism at work.

2020 Hair Trend #5: Tribal Braiding

With summer braids always on trend, tribal braiding is closer to the scalp – but the style is definitely not “Heidi of the Hills”.

There is something more visceral about tribal braiding and you can personalise the look by adding different coloured ribbons, coloured hair strands and being more organic in the way the braids are laid out. Think more American Indian or African corn rows or warrior goddess braids such as those worn by the Mockingjay in the Hunger Games.

2020 Hair Trend #6: Ash Blonde Hair

Ash blonde hair colour is essentially light blonde with a grey or ‘ash’ tint. When it comes to trending hairstyles and colours, ash blonde is certainly popular right now. There are plenty of celebrities with fine examples including Ashley Benson, Cara Delevinge and Taylor Swift.

2020 Hair Trend #7: Floppy Boy Cut

This hairstyle trend is great for wavy or curly hair for both men or women. It’s reminiscent of 90s men’s haircuts without the short back and sides. This hair cut is long on top, and carries more weight on the edge and sides.

2020 Hair Trend #8: Close Crop

The close crop means shaving your head to a level 2 – which is really close to the scalp. Add extreme colour on top and you’re close to the on-trend look.

The upkeep is quite high, but you can pretty much change your hair colour every six weeks – and that’s a lot of fun.

2020 Hair Trend #9: Silver Hair

Last year, we saw a lot of dirty pastels and grey hair colour trends – but for 2020 it’s all about bringing the shine back. We’re starting to see a lot of requests for silver hair, which is not to be confused with platinum blondes.

Super shiny, matte grey hair gets an upgrade into something a little more magical. We’re loving the hand painted balayage colouring with the slightest root fade, and purple shampoo is a must (try Oribe Silverati Shampoo).

2020 Hair Trend #10: Rose Gold Hair

We can’t get enough of these rose gold hair colour ideas, and we’re not the only ones! This hair colour trend is almost strawberry blonde but with a little more pink. It’s a colour that’s a beautiful change from the usual dirty pastels. It’s luminous and shiny and so attractive and feminine on any haircut.

Rather than an all-over roots to ends colour, we’re loving darker roots with a quick transition to rose gold. Lasting luminous rose gold is best achieved using Wella Professionals colour.

2020 Hair Trend #11: Curls, Curls, Curls

Despite the never-ending requests for keratin smoothing treatments and permanent hair straightening, a small army of women is saying “yes” to flaunting their natural curls.

The key to every beautiful hairstyle is a great haircut, and curly hair needs a specialist who knows know how to create shape without hacking senseless layers into the hair or doing the usual curly bobs. Curly hair is best cut dry – book in for one of our bespoke curly hair dry cuts.

The biggest mistake with curly hair is brushing it – just don’t! Bring out your curly hair best with insanely amazing products like Oribe Curl Control Silkening Creme for soft curls with some hold. If you want curls with a little more staying power and oomph, then you can’t go past the Oribe Curl Shaping Mousse. Forget crunchy tacky mousse’s of the 80’s – this mousse is amazing.

Celebrities Rocking The Best Red Hair Colours For 2020

If you put 100 random people off the street into a single room, how many of them do you think have a naturally red hair colour? Twenty five? Ten? Five? Not even close.

Actually, only 1 to 2 percent of the population has naturally red hair, caused by a mutation in the MC1R gene that produces the coolest pigment in the world – pheomelanin.

The result? As stunning as it is stunningly rare. But that rareness doesn’t mean there aren’t plenty of shades of red hair atop heads everywhere you look. So what’s the deal?

Well, it wasn’t too long ago that people with red or ginger hair colour might have been very tempted to colour it the more ‘standard’ brown or blonde in order to fit in.

But although there is plenty of colour competition these days, the many different shades of red hair continued to be among the most popular choices into 2020. That was also true at Lily Jackson, where our trend-conscious customers kept strolling into Sydney’s best women’s hairdresser to let our red hair colourists work their magic!

So when it comes to the most stunningly beautiful types of red hair, want to know what inspired Lily Jackson’s hair colourists? Answer: The celebrities who rock that red hair colour the best.

We’ve featured ash blonde, grey hair and rose gold hair among others. Now it’s time for red hair colour ideas to take centre stage! Here are our favourite red-heads of 2019:

1. Amy Adams

The double Golden Globe winner’s soft, copper hair colour is the perfect complement for her porcelain-like skin.

2. Isla Fisher

Borat may love Pamela Anderson’s blonde locks the best, but in real life, he is married to the stunning Isla Fisher – whose naturally red hair colour looks stunning in a subtle ombre style.

3. Debra Messing

Is there anyone who can rock a bright auburn hair colour with more style than the star of Will & Grace? Believe it or not, her original dark red hair colour was actually a colour stylist’s mistake, but we absolutely love it!

4. Rumer Willis

Perhaps you recognise her better with a dark or perhaps burgundy hair colour, but Bruce Willis and Demi Moore’s daughter tried on an almost orange-red hair colour with her short style in 2019. It was the perfect demonstration that all types of red hair can really work if executed well.

5. Emma Stone

There’s only one thing brighter and bubblier than the beautiful Emma Stone – and that’s her bright, bubbly and ginger hair colour. It’s hard to believe that she was born blonde, but many shades of red hair work better than you could imagine on people with fair skin.

6. Anna Kendrick

Unlike the fair Emma Stone, Anna has a warm medium skin tone that looks the best with a dark red hair colour.

Did we miss your favourite celebrity who gave the various red hair shades the coolest reputation in 2019? Honourable mentions go to Julianne Moore’s neutral auburn hair colour, Julia Roberts’ red balayage highlights, and the way Christina Hendricks is always mixing it up to keep her red hair colours eternally fresh.

The skilful and experienced hair colourists at Lily Jackson create the most beautiful looks every single day, matched perfectly to your features, personality and lifestyle. So no matter which shades of red hair have caught your eye, give Sydney’s best hairdressers a call for advice or make a booking today.

The 4 Best Hair Colour Change Apps for 2020

Did you know that Britney Spears has just gone from brunette to blonde? “Maybe blondes do have more fun!” she said on Instagram. Also jumping on Instagram this month has been the ‘IDGAF’ singer Dua Lipa, who went from blonde to honey-blonde. Megan Thee Stallion, an American rapper, appeared on the cover of Paper magazine with an amazing half blonde/half bright red look, while Reese Witherspoon’s daughter Ava has chosen 2019 to go baby pink. Are you getting the idea? 2019 has been all about trying something different with your colour – but are you game? If you do feel like jumping in at the deep end, how about dipping a pinky toe in first? With a little help from your smartphone, you can do it right now by downloading a hair colour changing app.

If using your phone to try a change hair colour app sounds exciting, here at Lily Jackson we are one step ahead of you! Our Best Womens Hairdresser in Syndey have road-tested the most popular change hair colour app options for you, and we’re here to present our findings.

What on earth is a hair colour changer app?

In a nutshell, a hair colour app is exactly what it says on the tin: an app that changes your hair colour at the press of your smartphone screen! Perfect for completing avoiding hair colour change regret, a hair colour app not only allows you to try a new colour on for size before taking the dramatic plunge, you can also try a dramatically different haircut style, like a pixie cut – without ever going near a pair of scissors.

Ever sat in the chair, paid good money, and walked out of the shop with the horrible realisation that your cut doesn’t suit your face, shape, personality or skin? This latest VR technology means you’ll never feel that way again because the best hair colour changer app is so super-realistic.

Of course, consult with your local hair colourist and discuss your ideas and goals before you commit :)

Here are our top 5 change hair colour app options.

1. Hair Zapp

The great thing about apps is that you can generally try them before buying the premium features. Hair Zapp is a great example of that, with no less than 500 different hairstyles to try for free. Another great feature allows you to post your new do on the app and get real-time feedback from other hair colour app users.

2. Hairstyle Makeover

Like all these apps, all you really need to do is take or upload a photo of yourself, and then let the technology works its magic. Hairstyle Makeover is particularly good for trying completely different hairstyle shapes because you can alter the length, volume and shape of each style. It’s very handy for those with round faces, which are notoriously difficult to match to a new hairstyle.

3. Hairstyle Try On

The free version of this changing hair colour app includes only 15 different styles, but don’t worry: short, long, medium, straight and curly options are among them – and 800 more styles are less than $2 away. There is also a great social media sharing feature so that not just other app users but also your family and friends can give their opinion!

4. Style My Hair

Developed by French cosmetics giant L’Oreal, this app and its amazing 3D colour simulation technology doesn’t disappoint. First of all, it’s totally free and includes more than 50 hair colours to experiment with – including beautiful natural tones as well as bold blue, green and pink options.

Have you had a good play with your favourite new change hair colour app? Ready to let Sydney’s best colourists work their artistic magic … for real? Changing your hair colour is one of the easiest ways to turn heads and refresh your image, personality and self-esteem, so why not book in for a complimentary consultation?

Lily Jackson & Organic Hair Colour

At Lily Jackson Hair & Make Up our health philosophy is simple – less chemicals not more.

But let’s get something clear up front – Organic Hair Colour does not exist (apart from some types of Henna).

There are ways to reduce your exposure to chemicals in the quest for beautiful hair but it is confusing and contradictory.

A Celebrity Guide to the Best Hairstyles for Round Faces

Just like people, personalities and pasta, things come in all different shapes and sizes – and that goes for faces, too. And let’s not beat around the bush: if you have a rounder face, it can be difficult to choose from the apparently limited hairstyles for round faces that really work.

Not sure you have a round face?

If you’ve always found it hard to find a haircut that brings out your best, and as a result, you’ve always stuck with the same cut, there’s a good chance you have a round face.

Are your cheeks, jaw and forehead all in the same line?
Is your face about the same length as it is wide?
Does your face lack sharp angles?

Welcome to your round face! But don’t despair: some of the most beautiful women on earth are in exactly the same boat. Drew Barrymore, Isla Fisher, Cameron Diaz, Emma Stone, Miranda Kerr, Michelle Williams … and the list of stunners goes on and on. All of them have looked absolutely stunning with a range of haircuts, styles, lengths and colours – the key is finding a stylist who knows exactly which round face hairstyles will work best for you.

Work with what you’ve got to create the best haircut for round face ladies

Before we get into which haircuts for round faces work the best, let’s give you all a boost: no face-shape is ever perfect. We can’t all have that perfect oval or diamond-shaped face – women with overly square, long or heart-shaped faces struggle to find the right style too.

But if you do have a notably round face and you’ve always struggled with your hair, here are some basic tips for your next session in front of the mirror:

1. Middle part

A middle part will tend to slim down your face.

2. Messy

If you add some messy volume to your look, for instance by putting up a messy bun or ponytail, you’ll draw attention away from the roundness.

3. Fringe

No matter the fringe, the focus of the world will be on your eyes and mouth, with the added bonus that a fringe slims your face down.

4. Layers

Among the best of the long hairstyles for round faces involve layers, whether they’re curly or straight. Wispier layers will further lengthen your face and neck.

5. Bob

For the ultimate bob hairstyle for round face women, make it a big longer than usual and style it messy.

6. Volume

If you pile your hairstyle up high, you’ll lengthen your face. To further this sleek look, grow your hair to and beyond your shoulders.

Where are all the round-faced celebrities?

But to really demonstrate just how beautiful your round face can be, let’s go through some of our favourite celebrities who have absolutely aced their round face haircuts.

1. Natalie Portman

Blessed with beauty, Natalie also has a round face – but it hasn’t held her back. After Star Wars, her long bob looked great and she followed it up with a little more length and some curl. Natalie has also narrowed in her round face with long curly fringe styled to the side, tried on a short and choppy fringe, and even shaved it all off for V for Vendetta. She’s the absolute queen of short hairstyles for round faces!

We don’t recommend you round-faced gals try the latter buzzed look, but Nathalie’s pixie cut as it was growing out is one of our absolute favourites. If you have a round face and love the pixie look, make sure you put some volume on the top to make your face appear more oval-shaped

2. Adele

Adele has lost quite a bit of weight, which opens up more options for a person with an already naturally rounder face. But throughout her career, this stunning singer has always matched her face with the best hairstyles for round face women.

At the 2017 Grammys, Adele had long, curly fringe to take the focus from her cheeks to a high hairline. At Glastonbury a year earlier, Adele’s hair was straight, shoulder-length and with a middle part – one of the very best round face hairstyles. But we absolutely love when Adele is Rolling In The Deep with a messy bun – especially when she wears it high with plenty of volume.

3. Christina Ricci

With her intense look and her skill for playing dark, unconventional characters, Christina Ricci always looks her best with her beautiful, rounder face. She is known for easing that roundness with very angular hairstyles, often including a very long and thick fringe to change that round shape. Sideswept fringe and a side-parted, medium-length bob is also a great haircut for round face ladies that Christina has aced.

4. Kelly Osbourne

Kelly’s hairstyles are outlandish but great hair colours usually work in perfect harmony with her round face. Shaved sides, crazy colours and hair piled up on the top almost completely delete any impression that her face is very round, but she has achieved the same goal with many more of the other best hairstyles for round face women. Extremely long, one-sided fringe, spiky styles, quirky and asymmetrical looks, and even an Emo cut that obscures one of her eyes. Kelly is the master of exploring the best modern short haircuts for round faces, and for that, we really love her.

A few more tips to finish

So if you have a rounder face, don’t despair! There are still a million and one different cuts and styles out there that means hairstyles for round face women are never in short supply.

So let’s finish with a few final tips to ensure that there are always so many hairstyles for round faces that look really, really stunning.

1. Two colours

If you want to experiment with colour, pick a shade that is a little lighter than yours and then ask your stylist to keep the hair that is closest to your face a little darker than natural.

2. Accessorise

Give extra definition to your round face with long, dangly earrings, and wear a short chain around your neck.

3. Makeup

Use makeup to really accentuate your cheeks, and pick a dark lipstick and playful eye-shadow.

4. Glasses

If you wear glasses, go for angular, exciting and squarer frames, and skip the smaller frames.

Still struggling to find the perfect round face hairstyles? The happy and talented team at Lily Jackson Hairdressing can help! Whether it’s a cut, a style, a colour or a makeup session that you need, our talented Sydney hairdressers are absolutely passionate about helping you get the beautiful look that you want and deserve – no matter what shape your face is!

Our 6 Favourite Celebrity Pixie Haircuts of 2019

Have you ever gone full pixie? No, we’re not talking about a little person with pointed ears in a children’s story. We’re talking about the famous pixie cut, and the fact that it’s a modern trend that it seems will never again go out of fashion.

Rihanna and Anne Hathaway have aced the pixie cut look, and even Michelle Obama has tried the super-practical but equally super-sexy short look on for size. And here at Lily Jackson Hairdressing, our Sydney hairstylists would absolutely love to give you a pixie haircut today!

Layered, short pixie hair suits every face, it’s easy to wash, style and dry, and you’ll never again be terrified of a windy day. But best of all, there are so many pixie cut styles to choose from once you decide to take the big leap and say goodbye to your familiar longer hair – and a pixie even looks great in grey.

So let’s let your favourite pixie cut celebrities do the modelling as we show off our favourite pixie hairstyles of 2019:

1. Katy Perry

Do you know what the hot trend in 2019 pixie cuts is? It’s the super-short pixie cut – and our gold medal winner is none other than Katy Perry.

She first went pixie when she told us all about Swish Bish in 2017, but our favourite of the short pixie cuts is still Katy’s punk version. Today, it’s longer at the top meaning she can play around with styling.

2. Kristen Stewart

Image Source: Cheat Sheet

When still a little girl in the movie Panic Room, Kristen had a stylish bob. Now 29, she’s all grown up – with her extremely edgy and even more extremely short pixie cut. Some might even call it little more than a buzz cut, but it’s still long enough to slick back or go all spiky.

3. Michelle Williams

We know that the Dawson’s Creek star loves to wear her hair short. But we really love the elegant pixie cut she is wearing in 2019. Straight, bleached and with swished-over bangs, it may be beautiful and classy and perfect for accentuating her stunning cheekbones, but it’s still very low maintenance.

4. Kendall Jenner

Kendall Jenner joined the pixie club? Really?! Sort of. Perhaps inspired by her Mum Kris, Kendall actually modelled an amazing FAKE pixie hair cut for Tom Ford’s Spring Collection. Hairstylist Orlando Pita did the faux pixie masterpiece and Kendall totally pulled it off.

5. Cara Delevingne

Her magnificent eyebrows may stand out the most, but that was until we saw her latest silvery-pink pixie cut! With a stylish short cut, you can really have some fun with hair colour – and then easily try something else next week! It’s a great idea that is much more difficult without a cool pixie!

6. Ruby Rose

If you’ve been keeping track of this Aussie beauty, you’ll know she absolutely epitomises the pixie cut. She’s had just about every colour, style and length in the fabulous pixie hairstyles catalogue – so how can we pick our favourite? We’re going out on a pixie limb by choosing this one because why choose between blonde or brunette for your pixie cut when you can have both?

The final word: Go pixie in 2019!

Nothing says modern, bold, sexy confidence than a pixie cut in 2019. Forget the ordinary and trust us: with a great hairdresser and stylist like the brilliant fashionistas at Lily Jackson Hairdressing, you will pull it off. So take the plunge, pick up the scissors and razor and feel fabulous with a low-maintenance, versatile pixie cut. We can’t wait to see you!

How to Transition Your Coloured Hair to Grey Hair

transition to grey hair from dyed banner

If you’ve been colouring your hair to cover the grey, the thought of stopping can be scary for no other reason than imagining how you’ll survive the time it takes for your natural colour to emerge.

Going grey is a big decision and a process. Julie Peacocke, Director of Lily Jackson Hair & Makeup and Lily Jackson Hairdressing Potts Point discusses how to go grey and if doing it gracefully is possible.

What are the issues faced by going grey?

The biggest issue to address is how to transition to grey and still keep the hair looking great. Going grey is a gradual process and often in the first years, the colour solution might have been to just cover the grey hair with an overall tint or highlights.

No two people are going to go grey in the same way so “going grey” really requires a bespoke solution for each individual. You would be surprised at the different patterns: some people have lots of grey hair around the hairline (think forehead, sideburns, and nape of the neck), but not a lot on the top. For others, their grey hair might grow more densely in patches.

The colour of the skin also changes with age – so this needs to be taken this into account ie are the natural shade of grey in your hair and your skin tone complementary?

Growing out the old colour and letting your grey show

Growing out existing colour presents its own challenges and really requires a well thought out colour strategy depending on how patient or fearful the client is about the transition. It’s a really big step.

The other issue is that we assume the grey that grows out is a pleasant colour or tone and is uniform in appearance but often this is not the case. Some grey hair has unusual tones like yellow or green which need to be corrected.

The grey hair might also have different densities in different parts of the head – ie you might be a really light grey on the front of your head and still have your original pigment at the back.

Grey hair has a different texture to hair with natural pigment, so as your hair goes grey, the texture of your hair will change and as a result – these two “types” of hair will behave differently. Curly grey hair, for example, is often more wirey than the curly hair with natural pigment and can be more difficult to control.

Finally, will going grey to be supportive of your professional goals? I know of many professional women in high-powered positions who would not consider going grey because they feel they would be, consciously or unconsciously, judged and leave themselves open to bias and prejudice.

What are your tips for transitioning to grey hair?

If you’ve followed Instagram at all, many young women are choosing to have their hair coloured grey or silver and it’s quite a social media trend.

In the past, the limitations of technology in professional hair colour meant that stylists were not able to create grey shades and tones. But now we have many more tools, products and interesting colour technology that enables us to create bespoke levels of fashion-oriented grey hair.

So what does this mean for you and your grey hair?

The best news is you don’t have to grow out your hair, have a really obvious re-growth and look aged or unkempt in the process.

The first thing to consider is how much colour already exists in the hair and how big a difference there is between the coloured hair and the original pigment.

Some clients might need or want a slow transition – this involves gradually growing out the grey yet incorporating some bespoke colour so that the hair does not look flat or unattractive.

Some clients are super ready. Generally, they’ve thought about it for quite some time so an extreme transition involving a full removal of the colour that exists in the hair, is right for them. How well this solution works depends on how long the hair is (better in shorter hairstyles) and the overall health and condition of the hair being treated.

Unless you’re incredibly lucky to have a pleasant shade of grey and colour densities that are attractive, grey hair still requires a bespoke approach to look good. Finding that stylist that can take you on this journey and who makes it an adventure and not a stressful experience is key.

Some of the techniques we use are:

Toning out undesirable colours like yellow or green tinge or sun bleached gold brassiness.
Creating contrast be it lighter or darker (but in a minimal way where you might only need touch ups three or four times per year).
Putting in MORE grey. Some people have white hair instead of grey and adding in grey can create a point of difference, add style and create more depth and texture to a fashionable haircut.

Can you reverse your colour to achieve grey hair?

We can remove (or strip) colour from the hair, but because of the process, the hair will have no colour. So as part of the process, we would need to deposit the desired colour back into the hair and this can be a bespoke grey colour.

The colour removal process is not suitable for everyone and definitely not to be attempted if you’ve been colouring your hair with supermarket colour in a box.

Is cutting hair short and letting it grow again the only way?

It certainly is an option if you cannot deal with the length of time a transition will take. It’s like ripping off a band-aid.

Women with short grey hair can look so stylish, but it is not the only way for the reasons mentioned above. You just need to have a lot of patience if you wish to keep your hair length.

For those who don’t want to sacrifice their long hair, what would you suggest?

The first thing about any long hair is that it must be healthy.

Many women attached to having long hair are unfortunately blind to their split or dead ends that must be cut off for any hairstyle to look good and for any colour to hold.

Again, a bespoke approach to colour is needed and transitioning the hairstyle to grey will involve allowing incremental amounts of natural colour to show through over a period of time.
Having a sharp haircut once it is grey is essential – grey hair looks best with a strong style.

Can you show us some types of hairstyles that work with grey hair?

I certainly can! Take a look at our latest professional photo shoot and video featuring women with grey hair! You will see a short pixie cut, one shorter hairstyle with a longer fringe, one medium hair length hairstyle and one long grey hairstyle.

We hope they inspire you to call us for a consultation on 02 9360 8708 or book an appointment with us online.

7 Of Our Favourite Ash Blonde Hair Colour Ideas

What exactly is ash blonde hair colour? If you’ve ever wanted to sport an edgy, ‘ice queen’ look, ash blonde is for you. Think light blonde with a grey or ‘ash’ tint.

It’s blonde with the temperature turned down, basically, leaving a brilliantly unique shade with an undertone of grey and silver. If you have a light complexion, ash blonde is a certain winner, but there’s actually a shade of ash blonde that will work for everyone.

When it comes to trending hairstyles and colours, ash blonde is certainly popular right now. There are plenty of celebrities with fine examples we’ll highlight. So let’s get straight to the list!

1. Ash blonde ombre hair

If blonde all the way doesn’t work for you, pick ash blonde ombre hair. It will look as good at work as it will in a bikini.

A celeb who loves it: Ashley Benson, who plays Hanna in Pretty Little Liars.

2. Dark to light ash blonde

Just like yin and yang, the dark and light really work well when it comes to ash blonde hair. Think black roots that blend into platinum, and you get an idea of how stunning contrast can be.

3. Ash blonde brown hair

Who says ash blonde can’t incorporate brown? Try starting with dark brown roots and ending with honey blonde ends, and take a bold step from brown to the exciting world of ash blonde.

A celeb who loves it: Cara Delevinge, whose famous dark eyebrows make the brown in her ash blonde really sparkle.

Here are some other examples of ash blonde and ash brown hair – the spectrum is endless!

4. Ash blonde highlights

Highlights are another perfect way to step tentatively into the ash blonde realm. Take your prized brunette tresses and add some ice queen flair with ash blonde foils – in a long bob, especially if you have thin hair, it looks particularly chic.

A celeb who loves it: Taylor Swift, whose baby blue eyes really pop with ash blonde hair.

5. Dark ash blonde

When you add some more obviously grey tones to that ash blonde look, you’re really getting on-trend in 2018 with a darker undertone. It’s also daring – and every eye on the room will be on you.

A celeb who loves it: Kim Kardashian, who will often opt for ash blonde with grey when she trades in her signature black hair.

6. Buttery ash blonde

Ash blonde and 2018 are all about breaking the rules, so let’s commit the sin of mixing those cool and warm tones. The result for ash blonde is a dynamic, buttery look.

A celeb who loves it: Amanda Seyfried, whose ashy roots blend deliciously with warm ends.

7. Silver ash blonde

You’re thinking grey and icy, but how about thinking more silver? Add in some metallic tinges and really make it pop with dimension via platinum highlights at the end.

So there you have it: ash blonde is not just ash blonde. Do you have a favourite?

The really great news is that there are actually DOZENS more ash blonde hair colour ideas to choose from, so ask the friendly hair colour experts at Lily Jackson to help find the perfect one for you!

7 Mistakes That Make Your Hair Look Thinner

Blog, Grey Hair

Beautiful short grey hair: no old nanna’s here!

Meet Lyn.

Confident and happy in her skin, Lyn is popular over 50’s model featured in many magazines and papers. Going grey is a lot about loving the person you are, indeed embracing it and as author Brenee Brown puts it “letting go of who you think you’re supposed to be.”

Lyn’s hair looks natural but we actually coloured it with some highlights and toner. Lyn has strong features and can carry off a strong haircut.

The hair cut features a lot of texture and movement to frame Lyn’s face. It reflect Lyn’s personality to a tee – it has strength, style and loads of personality and it makes a statement.

When we work with grey hair transitions, we aren’t trying to do anything that goes against the nature of the hair.

And this is the liberating aspect of grey hair transitions.

Balayage done by Ibra. Beautiful work and excellent service, couldn’t be happier! Will definitely come back.

I had a full head of foils with a cut and blow dry and it was the best one I’ve ever had. Ibrahim was so nice and enthusiastic and so easy to talk to. He did such a great job and made the time fly. My hair feels so soft and it’s exactly what I wanted. I would definitely go again and I would highly recommend to everyone.

Highly recommend Reece at this salon. He really knows how to cut and style thick hair without making it look bulky. I've had my hair cut by him for years now because I haven't found another hairdresser that can cut like this consistently. He was able to bring my natural colour/tone back through some light blonde foils I had done elsewhere and I'm really happy with the results. The overall salon experience was also great. Thank you!

I’m so happy with the results. Reece did a wonderful job with my cut and refresh of my balayage. I am really pleased with how well my blonde turned out. It’s not brassy at all. A professional salon!

Had a great experience at Lily Jackson! Reece was super nice and detailed with my hair. Every step was done super throughly from the cutting to the colouring and even the blow drying. He also does a great head massage which was soooo nice. I was also very happy with the results and will defs be coming back!

Went here for the first time yesterday and am thrilled with the result! Reece did an amazing job.One aspect i particularly liked is how upfront they are about the costs. Yes it may be pricey but (a) it’s worth it and (b) they are totally upfront and clear about the cost before they do a thing. I’ve never had that before. I often get an ugly shock at other hairdressers at the end of the session and spent far more than expected. Here I knew what I was signing up for upfront. Also Reece was able to give an indicative cost of the next session - there’ll be less work involved, just maintenance and thus a lot cheaper. Really happy - will definitely be back.

Had an absolutely amazing experience at Lily Jackson the other day. I got a haircut, balayage and styling done by Reece and the entire experience was great, the final results even better and the little head massage at the end of the hair wash was to die for. Reece was very knowledgeable and kept me informed throughout the entire process on how the different techniques he was using would impact the final result. I felt like I was in very good hands and the results speak for themselves. The balayage is very intricate and blends perfectly into my natural hair color. Instead of being one dimensional it has many different tones which complement my skintone and hair perfectly and add lots of dimension to my hair. I'm looking forward to returning to the salon in the future for other fun transformations!

I had the wonderful experience in getting a balayage treatment done by Ibrahim, who has been the best hairdresser I have ever come across. I have never seen my hair look better than it has right now, and not only did Ibrahim do such a stunning job, he shared all his knowledge and experience, to help me understand my own hair, different ways to style and treat it that go far beyond merely "doing the job" alone. I am amazed by his talent and moreso, his effort to go above and beyond to give me exactly what I was looking for, all whilst making the entire experience such an enjoyable one, laughing and talking the entire time. I have become a diehard fan, and have already booked in my next appointment because of how wowed I am by this experience. Cannot thank Ibrahim and the team at Lily Jackson enough! I am in love with my hair!!

Reece was great - super experienced and professional. Really knew what would suit particular face shape, hair type, length etc. loved the bespoke approach and love my natural balayage look!!

This salon does an excellent keratin treatment - especially for people with unmanageable curls/frizz like me. I have had many keratin treatments that didn't work as well and so will definitely be coming back for another one at Lily Jackson!

I got balyage and a cut done by Ibrahim and he was amazing to say the least. My hair has never looked so good and healthy, I couldn’t recommend him or the salon enough. Will definitely be coming back ❤️❤️

Beautiful salon and welcoming!My Hairdresser was Sabrina who took the time to ask about my thick curly hair routine(to give me tips how to care for my hair at home) and what I wanted. I asked for a new look and she suggested a few different haircut looks that will suit my face shape/hair. We talked it through before doing anything!Sabrina was meticulous with my hair, made my curls look fabulous, gave me a cute fringe and lifted my hair that no longer sits dead on my shoulders. She knows her craft exceptionally well because it looks Amazing!The best experience I've had so far! Thank you Sabrina!

As others have said here, Darcy is a genius with curly hair. My previously crazy hair has never looked so good - with very little effort from me. This is all I ask from a hair salon, but have rarely achieved. He is also a pleasure to chat with about any and all topics, and is a gentle human. The salon overall is very professional from bookings, reminders and the overall experience that is provided every time. Actually, don't go there - it might make it harder for me to get an appointment.

Darcy has been thoroughly professional in his approach to styling & Haircare, he has managed to tame my unmanageable hair and made it look healthy without losing its natural waves and curls!He chose a perfect shade of hair colour to restore shine and health to my hair. He also did an almost perfect dry cut, to give a great shape as well.LJ also have a good customer service, friendly staff and Darcy is great conversationalist, engages you well during the long time consuming hair appointments.I would recommend this place and Darcy, specially for wavy curly hair cuts and styling.

i was a little bit weary going in as an asian at a white salon but let me tel u something: scott must have been secretly asian in another life because he literally fixed the absolute worst blonde highlight job ive ever seen (i looked like britney spears in rehab) n he did such a thorough job dying everything. he gave me exactly what i wanted n he was so fun to talk to the time flew by. i literally would marry this man if he werent gay because he saved my whole life

AMAZING!!!! Saw Florie today, WOW. The colour and cut was the best I have had EVER. Thank you so much. Cya was lovely, great space, nice and relaxing and don't get me started about how comfortable that wash basin is....asleep in 5 flat. Looking for a great place...this is it!

I booked in for a blow dry and style on one of the hottest days in Sydney. Sabrina did a wonderful job of smoothing out my hair and the style kept its shape all day and well into the evening. Emily, who washed my hair gave a wonderful head and neck massage as well. Probably the best blow out I’ve had, and I live in LA! Thank you so much.

Anna Irvine

22:06 19 Jan 20

I got Kerasilk Keratin Treatment and am very happy with my new hair. Darcy was super lovely to chat with and very knowledgeable about hair. Emily, I think assisted and she was very polite and sweet. Cy was very helpful when I made the appointment. Wine and almonds added to the overall pampering experience. My hair went from frizzy, crazy, curly to smooth, straight and fine. If you color hair, make sure you do it two weeks beforehand. I dyed mine just the day before, as made appointment then and the color lightened a bit, but will darken over time. I'm very happy with the amazing transformation and cannot recommend Lily Jackson Hair, Darlinghurst, enough. I shall return when my hair needs to be transformed again. Beautiful place, beautiful people.

It's been about 3 weeks since I had my hair chemically straightened & cut by Darcy, and I gotta say, I love how manageable my hair has become! My hair has always been frizzy and wavy, difficult to comb (even with a detangler) and always dried in a different way. Now, my hair is no longer frizzy and wild and it feels silky and smooth all the time. I can just run my fingers through my hair without it getting knotted, and my hair even stays straight if I tie it up or put it into a bun. Its so easy when I wake up in the morning and only have to spend literally 2 minutes on my hair!The process did take a couple hours, but it seemed like it went by pretty fast. Darcy started by giving my hair a wash, and then putting on the straightening chemical, which he left on for ~ 15 minutes. This was washed off, and after drying most of my hair, he began straightening all the hair (including the baby hairs!) to set the chemicals in. My hair looked pretty amazing and straight by then, but Darcy then had to put a neutraliser (a liquid solution) in my hair for ~ 10 mins, before washing it all off and blow-drying my hair (for the last time).It was an interesting but great experience and I'm very happy with how it turned out!

I just this week had the best haircut I have ever had from Darcy at the Darlinghurst salon. I have wilful curly hair. And if the hair dresser doesn’t have great skill with curly hair I’m a ruined woman. My curls become limp waves. And I’ve had some of the best cutters in my time. So when I rang looking for someone experienced with making curly hair look fab I was praying they knew what I was talking about. I was treated so well and the then the great gift of watching Darcy cut me the most wonderful style and curls. Well I think Darcy could cut great style for anyone. Everyone at the salon was beautiful and me - I ‘m a revived strong woman again with fabulous stylish curly hair and a great new hairdresser to keep me gorgeous. Thank you Darcy.

Linda Bates

08:29 16 Nov 19

I've got wilful curly hair and I've just found, Darcy, the best curly hair cutter in the world at Lily Jackson, Darlinghurst, I've had many disastrous cuts in my life with hairdressers who have sworn to me they are experienced with curly hair. I have also had some of the most amazing haircuts from highly skilled curly hair cutters and stylers. So I nervously entered Lily Jackson for my first appointment with Darcy. I could see he knew what he was doing. And he warned me that I would have curl shock and that my hair would take a few days to settle in. ON Day 3 after my cut I washed my hair and WOW I found the best curly hair cut ever. Now I have to make sure I always live near wherever Darcy is so I can look fabulous.

I generally don't write reviews but my experience at Lily Jackson is worth one!My graduation was coming and wanted a changed in my hair look, particularly was looking for a balayage style. I purchased the new client balayage package.The staff was really friendly and knowledgeable. Blue and Tahlia were awesome! Blue coloured my hair, she walked me through the colouring process, and recommended tips to take care of my coloured hair. Tahlia recommended and cut my new haircut which gives more volume and more hairstyle options.I'm happy with my hair makeover and will highly recommend checking out Lilly Jackson, I'm def going back :) It's worth the price

Karla Treuquemil

07:31 05 Nov 19

Highly recommend lily Jackson. I am from Melbourne and it’s very hard to be able to find a good hairdresser for your needs. Most of all trust them with your hair. Highly recommend Scott, he was great. Toner colour to perfection.

Naomi

01:14 03 Nov 19

First time here and I'm very happy with my haircut by Tahlia and colour by Blue.Yes, the cost was high (I've never spent that much before)! But I believe it was worth it. I looked up other hairdressers online and wasn't sure who to go to (especially for wanting to get a "balayage" colour done on my hair for the first time. My hair is black and I wanted to go a copper/auburn colour but keep my roots).So I found LJ had many positive reviews so I decided to take the plunge, despite the $$$ but I left the salon very pleased and will return again next month. The staff were friendly and welcoming. I definitely have faith and confidence knowing that I'll be happy with the final results for any other future appointments.Thankyou again, Tahlia and Blue.

Omgeee! Scott... you are AH-MAZING!! I absolutely love my cut and color blend. By far one of the best cut/color/style I've ever had. I was in desperate need of a haircut. I never have time back at home in Hawaii...so I Yelped and Google searched a salon on my layover in Syd. I came across Lily Jackson salon and made an appt. I selected anyone available. I was supposed to have Nadine but she was running behind so I got Scott (who was only stopping by the salon to pick something up). Needless to say I'll definitely be asking for him my next time here. He has the most awesome disposition. He's got a fantabulous personality, great smile, humorous, and he knows what he's doing. I normally get a little nervous before getting my hair done but Scott made me comfortable from the get go. He asked me what I wanted, gave his thoughts and ideas and walked me through the whole process. "Gorgeous" is what he kept saying and I have to agree. I left feeling gorgeous! I can't rave enough about him. I loved the atmosphere. The cleanliness, the music, and the whole lot of staff was friendly. Thank you Lily Jackson and thank you Scott!!! I'll be telling my coworkers about you!

I have medium length thick Asian hair and have always struggled to find a stylist who could confidently cut it to hold a strong shape (I don't like the very layered wispy style that's common with Asian hairstyles). Blue took one look at my hair and knew exactly how to handle it. Fantastic cut, efficient yet careful service and fun conversation if you want to chat. Thanks so much, Blue, will definitely be back!

My second visit to Lily Jackson. This time it was the salon at Potts Point and my stylist was Scott.

Two visits now and both were on point.
Thank you Scott!

Cut - she knew what i wanted/needed.suited better than I did3. Colour - could not have been more perfect!She is a fountain of knowledge and skill and PASSION and I could not imagine a hair-life without her!Never leave Sydney, or I'll have to leave with you.

Just had my hair permanently straightened and cut by Blue! I love the result! I need to confess I was very nervous at the beginning as it was my first time at Lily Jackson but Blue and the staff were very friendly. They take the time to listen what you want and then give you their advice.Definitely recommend Blue if you are considering getting your hair done!

I had a toner, shampoo and blow dry done by Yuliya and my hair was amazing!! She made me feel very comfortable and was super professional throughout the whole appointment. I loved it and I would definitely recomend this salon !!

Had a colour appointment with Timur who was very welcoming and professional when explaining the whole transition to an ash brown. He has helped me achieve the end results I haven’t been able to get with other salons whilst keeping everything as natural as possible. Very happy leaving with the stunning work of Timur.

I'm happy to find such a nice salon and so professional master as Timur! I wanted to change my haircut from medium lenght to short and Timur did it really perfect! It was my first haircut in Sydney and I was looking for the master for almost 2 months!:) And it worth it. Really recommend Timur!

In desperate need of a haircut I scheduled an appointment with Lily Jackson for a womens cut and style with Eric. Eric was absolutely fabulous and left me feeling better than ever. Honestly one of my best haircuts EVER! The salon is lovely and staff attentive. It's pricey but so worth it! Thanks Eric!

Julie Claridge

After many years of devotion to an excellent hairdresser somewhere else I came to Nadine for a transformation haircut. I couldn't be more delighted. Today I came back for a colour change - wonderful result. Looking forward to my next visit

Giordana Cocco

02:02 16 Jul 19

This was my first haircut with Nadine and she did such a fabulous job!Based on my likes/brief she started off with a thorough brainstorm of what to fix and how. It became immediately apparent that Nadine understands hair and knows her craft exceptional well. She worked with laser sharp focus and top precision and sure enough the layering result was fantastic. My cut is low maintenance but still versatile and fun, whether I wear my hair up or down. Super happy with it, thanks Nadine!

15:57 03 Jul 19

I had my first balayage here a week ago and I am very happy with the result. Blue was my stylist that day and she recommended what was best for my hair even if it was not exactly as what I initially planned on having. I wanted a very light color but my hair was previously overbleached, so I had a different color done that would not damage my hair further and still I was happy with how blue professionally colored my hair and how she went into details about what needs to be done with my damaged hair. I would not hesitate to come back even if it is quite a ride from my place.

Not from Sydney I have been flying back to Adelaide to get my hair done because I couldn't find someone in Sydney with the same quality service and results. I had been recommended to try Lily Jackson for years and finally did. I could not be happier. Blue was absolutely perfect and a delight to have to do my hair. A colour specialist she was able to match my old hair colour recipe, and delivered exactly what I was after. She listened to what I wanted, did not push anything different, and did not try to add on a million expensive items. She recommended a treatment and again was spot on, and not pushy. A rare find in Sydney - definitely recommend Blue!It's taken 3 years but I think I have finally found my hairdresser -thank you BlueKim Burdett

The team at Lilly Jackson are very talented. They take the time to listen to what you want and then they style with such confidence and ease. My most recent balayage with Blue, and women's cut and finish with Nadine was such a good experience - I opted for a reasonably drastic change, and I love the results! I've also had an awesome balayage from Sam in the past too. Totally recommend this place 👌

I found LJ online and had a free consultation as I wanted a second opinion about my decision to transition to grey hair . Blue met me ; she really listened to my dilemma and had good insight and suggestions. I then was confident to book an appointment . Again at the appointment she listened to my concerns and suggested a great solution. I was really impressed by her service which showed experience , patience and care . I am thrilled with the result and would highly recommend Blue for your hair.

I went here for the first time to get Japanese permanent straightening done... it's the best thing I've ever done!!!!!! I've had 30 years of frizzy uncontrollable hair and tried everything. Finally, I found something that works! I literally wash my hair, wake up in the morning and it's straight. It's like a miracle. I'm over the moon. Thanks so much guys ❤️

LOVE this place!Professional and beautiful salon when you walk in that makes you feel welcome! Other places I've been to the hairdressers are so snobby but everyone says hello to you here from the moment you walk in :)My hairdresser was Candice who really took the time to ask me about my hair and what I wanted. They have a complimentary drinks menu including wine so I sipped on my favourite tea while getting my hair done. My biggest fear going to the hairdressers is that they'll cut it too short like so many other places I've been to but Candice did the most amazing job!A lady called Sam was also there and she was so knowledgeable and told me lots of things about my hair and haircare which made perfect sense. Other hairdressers only rave on about the products they're selling or what treatments they have but here they genuinely gave me tips on how to improve my hair quality at home :) highly recommend both Candice & Sam xx

01:20 11 Jan 19

Have had 2 cuts and styles here by Candice and she was excellent! As a guy I'm not very good at explaning what I want when I get my hair cut, but Candice was really great at asking the right questions and I was very happy with end result, which included some colouring as well. Definitely recommend.

Kawada worked magic on my hair that had been overbleached by another hairdresser and snapped. I didn’t think any haircut could’ve saved it without having to shave my head, but he was able to give me a cut that will allow it to grow out nicely. I even get compliments on my hair now. Can’t wait for it to grow longer and get something new. Will definitely be back.

Went to lily jackson salon for a hair emergency fix today and I must say I was happy with the service I got. Sam made me feel really comfortable and assured me shes gonna take care of me. She told me what I needed to know and now what I wanted to hear which was great Bec of my 1st visit today, i already booked another visit 8 weeks from now :)

Been a regular at Lily Jackson for at least a couple of years now and I've always enjoyed the experience of having my hair cut there—the service and communication is great. Sam is a brilliant hairdresser who really took the time to figure out what I wanted from my scattered and highly unhelpful description of a hairstyle and now I have a haircut which I'd happily live with for the rest of my life if I was suddenly only allowed one style. The complimentary fringe trims are also great for maintaining undercuts, especially with summer on the way. 10/10 would recommend.

I had the perfect experience at Lily and Jackson hair. All the staff made me feel very welcome. Kawada did an amazing colouring job, and he explained and listened to my needs very closely. He was very professional and knew what he was doing. I will definitely recommend Kawada if you need a perfect colour experience! Thank you so much.

I had a total transformation hair cut on Tuesday - went from shoulder length hair to a pixie cut, which was a huge change as the last time I had short hair was when I was 3 yo! Natasha did my hair with the guiding hand of Kawada - they spent a great deal of time talking to me about my hair and analysing it. Thank you so much for a fantastic outcome and I have even managed to blow dry it exactly as I was shown how to!

I had such a wonderful experience at Lily Jackson. In the skilled artistic hands of Lambert Kawada, I was able to relax and truly enjoy the 5 star treatment this salon does so well. My tired, dull, neglected hair was transformed into a vibrant, refreshed, and beautiful color/style. It is truly the best my hair has ever looked and I’ve had so many compliments! Thanks again.

BEST SALON EVER, SERIOUSLY YOU WON'T REGRET COMING TO THIS PLACE!!!
I have never done a review on anything before in my life but I honestly cant rave enough about this salon. I had not gone to a hairdresser for almost two years because I was so attached to my long black hair. Even though its just hair and it will grow back, this was a big deal for me. Having the thought of it getting cut scared the heck out of me and the anxiety I would get if I had gone to a hairdresser that didn't give me the results I wanted.

After reading several reviews on here I was 100 percent certain that I was going to Lily's and my hair's destiny was going to be in Sam's magical hands haha. She had so many good reviews I just had to choose her!

From the moment I walked in I was welcomed, I showed Sam a few pictures of my desired look but was still uncertain what would look good for me. Sam had walked me through the whole process together, she was patient and gave me her honest opinions which I greatly appreciated. I felt so reassured that as a result I confidently agreed to have her cut off almost 4 inches of my hair!

Overall, I absolutely love my haircut I wouldn’t have it any other way plus I’ve received so many compliments! I’m confident rocking this new hair do and surprisingly to say, I can’t wait to cut my hair next here. You’ve definitely gained a regular customer. Thankyou Sam and the team you have made this experience unforgettable!

I can not speak highly enough of Lily Jackson Hair! I am a regular and absolutely LOVE this salon. My hairdresser Sam is amazing and never disappoints. She is professional, listens to what I want (whilst giving great, honest advice), friendly and extremely talented. I have gone very short, had two stints with a fringe, and had multiple keratin treatments with Sam and have always been in love with my cut.The whole team is lovely and accomodating. I have recommended Sam to many friends and all have left more than happy. Huge thanks to the team.

I went to Lily Jackson because I red all the wonderful reviews and since I’ve moved to Sydney only ever had quick “just cuts” maintenance hair cuts. I used to have highlights but after traveling for a few years, I managed to get back to my natural hair colour and was afraid to go somewhere I may not get the results I wanted so kept my natural Mousey hair for almost 5 years. Then I finally I worked up the courage and went...and it’s the BEST hair colour and cut I’VE EVER HAD! Nadine was super nice and understood what I wanted and really nailed it! Only a few people noticed that it was coloured although it looks much blonder but that’s exactly what I wanted, a subtle and natural change. Needless to say I’ll come back to Nadine in the near future! Many thanks!

Been having my hair cut by Jules for many years now and always leave very happy with the result. Around 3 months ago I decided to have a keratin treatment. To say it has changed my life is an understatement and I wish I had made this decision a long time ago! My hair was wavy and difficult to manage and I always used hair straightener's. I haven't had to straighten my hair at all since the treatment and I can now even leave my hair to dry. I would highly recommend this treatment. Thank you Lily Jackson

Thank you to Sam for making my hair look great again, after box dying my waist length hair dark and regretting it Sam managed to bring it to a lovely blonde in just 2 stages whilst keeping it healthy! My hair doesn’t brush out wet and she listened and made my appointments so much more stress free. Can’t recommend Sam and Lily Jackson enough thanks again :)

Can't rate this place highly enough. Have been going to Jules for my cut for three years now and she is absolutely amazing, really listens and cares. Recently had my colour done by Carlos and it is fantastic, I love it, 5 stars.

Sam is exceptional! I started going to see her as I had badly damaged hair from an uncaring salon that stripped the life from my hair with bleach.
Sam has been amazing through the process of getting my hair back to health. Always giving me honest and caring advice.
I cannot thank her enough. I have confidence back!
You are a Rockstar Sam �

Love my cut and colour. Sam did a fantastic job freshening up my look so I can go out and manage while running after a toddler. The head massage from the young guy who applied my colour was amazing. A very relaxing atmosphere.

Trish is boss with a pair of scissors and my blonde always on point. I don't say that lightly, I've been to a lot of salons over the years, and my hair is important to me. Yes, you will pay more, but it's worth every cent.

We all know how important a good hairdresser is - they can make the difference between hair looking ordinary vs looking amazing - thank you Sam - you have made that difference for me!

By far the best hair salon experience I've had! Thank you so much, Sam, who made my hair look like a million bucks and made me feel beautiful! My hair was very, very long, thick, dull and damaged (with probably 5 different colours on it..) when I went in and I walked out with the most beautiful balayage hair ever! I'm sure it must have felt like a 4 hour upper body workout for Sam since my hair was so long and thick! lols Everyone at Lily Jackson was so nice and friendly and they made me feel very relaxed and comfortable. I can't recommend them enough! <3 :D

23:32 25 Feb 16

What a positively enlightening experience that was Christie Lee!
Came in feeling rather ordinary and walked out feeling nothing less than EXTRAordinary :)! Loved every minute from the great intro conversation to the lush head massage then to be seated with drinks and nibbles while you worked your magic topping it all off with a blow dry that lasted days lol!
WELL DONE and THANK YOU Christie Lee! Great space, fantastic talent!

Thank you so much to Sam who colour corrected my hair a week before my wedding - after another salon turned my hair copper on top and black on the ends, Sam got me in the same day I called (in tears) and got my hair as close to my original natural colour as humanly possible. My hair looked great on the day and would not have been possible without Sam ! So very very grateful :)

The trickiest thing about writing this review, is not to make it sound like an infomercial.
So here is what it comes down to; if you are looking for a place with a subtle yet modern ambience, fantastic customer service, and the best hair you will ever have, then you have found it.
Who knew having ones hair done could be an earthy and authentic experience?
This is a business which cares about their clientele without the need to be pretentious.
One of the most notable things about the salon, is its welcoming atmosphere and sense of spaciousness.
The staff are attentive, highly skilled, and able to listen.
Patricia worked miracles with my somewhat neglected and unkempt tresses.
Thank you so much for a great day.
