Oh hey beautiful people 🤎 It’s me, Ava 👋🏻

And if we haven’t met, I’m the human behind the biz.
P.s This is the polished version of me, I look like this for maybe 3 days a year - hah! 😆

My hearts been beating 38+ years,
I’m sharing this beautiful life with a gorgeous kiwi man .propertylane,
And we get to love & guide 3 extraordinary humans through this life.
Oh, and one last thing… I’ve have had either a broom, towel, pair of scissors or a nice hot brew in my hands since I was 13… mmm hmmm, that’s 25years of hairdressing babe 🙈

I felt like sharing. So here goes.

My life has been colourful and yet I feel like I’m only just starting to fuuuully embrace the colour.

I was born into a loving family in Sydney.
I moved out of home at 15, yep, she’s independent bi**ch 😉
I started my first business as a young mumma, cause I want to be apart of it all.
I spent 10 years living in the land of the long white cloud, and now back by the beach, always chasing the sun.
I created a natural hair product (over 6months in my kitchen lab) because I couldn’t find a good enough one on the market.
AND THEN, decided 2 years ago (on the 2000th odd business idea) that I wasn’t prepared to witness the extinction of hairdressers in our industry soooo…

The Back-up hairdresser. A solution to a burnout problem.

I’m not the cheapest, but I’m extremely reliable.
I’m not the best, but I always do my best.
I love people, the youngest right through to the oldest.
And offering my hands and heart is one of my love languages.

I may not be able to tell you in person but please try and feel this message.
Thanks 🤎
Thanks for being here.
Thanks for being on this earth.
And I hope one day our paths cross so I can squeeze you blaaardy tight and talk to you about all my other solutions 💋 Including a new little somethung spesh I’m about to open 🤫

Love love and mooore love, you.
And please reach out if you want to share back. I’m a great talker but even better listener.

Ava ✌🏼 xx
