The Artistry Behind the Science: Colour Consulting, Colour Goal Setting & Colour Corrective Work.

For three decades I have worked as a hair technician for my beloved community, forming friendships and connections that go beyond the salon. Natural Evolution is an extension of my beliefs in community, beauty and sustainability. After facilitating thousands of transformations I can honestly say that nothing has the power to transform like a truly beautiful colour.

While styling and cuts have enabled me to unify my craft, achieving gorgeous colour for my clients is my passion. By focusing on colour, I’m able to achieve the glossy, vibrant, long-lasting results my clients deserve. Combining my years of experience, with a deep understanding of the science, I love working with my clients on everything from subtle enhancements to major changes and back again, all without compromising the integrity of the hair.

I care about my clients’ results, and I believe that how we achieve them matters. For that reason, I only work with the sustainably-made Davines line of products. This high-end Italian brand is results-driven, and dedicated to the kind of beauty that is ethically tended.

From blondes to brunettes, reds, silvers, and everything in between, I believe anything is achievable with patience, exceptional products, and skilled execution.
