Whitney-Elise Hair

Goosebumps head to toe… what a vision 🌸

Let me re-introduce myself… it’s been a while ❤️

I’m Whitney Elise, I am the Hair Stylist behind Hair by Whitney Elise. My little side hustle that almost 12 years ago was just a bit of extra cash here and there. Whilst working full time in a hair salon I found my ‘niche’, my passion… Event Hair Styling.

Now let’s get personal let me introduce my home life.… whilst some things haven’t changed as my partner Ben and I celebrated 13 years together this year 👫…. A lot has changed and my life has never been busier!

I’m a mum to 3 beautiful little humans Austin, Lainie and Bodhi. I’m currently coming out of my baby era into my school mum era which I’m absolutely loving! 😍
We live up in the “Hills” surrounded by farmland.
My boys keep me busy with constant Football & Basketball training sessions and games, whilst my daughter sticks to creating artworks, drawing and constantly filling my fridge with paintings.

Ben and I have just learned to embrace the chaos! We live a very FULL life running a small business each along side our kids chaotic schedules ❤️

A few things about me… I love a good tv series (TSITP, Off Campus, Mcleods Daughters…) I’m a hopeless romantic (yay for a Pisces!), LOVE a saucy book, I’m a mad Collingwood supporter, I love walking with my two English blue staffies and I absolutely love dinner and drinks with my girl friends after a long week!

You’re probably wondering, how in the world do I fit in work?

Hair by Whitney Elise is my other baby, it has been amazing and so easy for me to work around my kids. Leaving the salon environment and jumping into Wedding Hair made me fall back in love with hair again, it gave me exactly what I needed… LOVE and FREEDOM!

As I said before, I am a hugeeeeee romantic so working in the wedding industry is absolutely ME! Give me the gooey stories of how you first met, show me the ring and give me all the little tiny details of how your days going to be perfect… I AM SO THERE!

So there you have it, this is me. These tiny humans who fill my soul, the man who has my heart and stands beside me and the business that gave me my passion back 🌅

“Just give me something up? Something up? for older women”

This was the response I got from a gorgeous Mother of the Bride when I asked what our plan was. My response was pretty simple…

Older women’s looks do not exist in my vocabulary!

So I decided something on trend, something simple and with lots of texture was our plan. We had plenty of hair to work with, keeping in mind her hair is shoulder length so the thickness made up for the length 🙌🏻

She loved it. I loved it. Paired with a gorgeous olive green dress she radiated confidence and looked amazing!

Happy Wedding Day for EVERYONE!

TRIAL DAYS!!.. are some of my favorite appointments. Why? Because we spend 1.5 hours getting to know YOU! We chat and fiddle and smooth out all the kinks and “what ifs”. We decide if your and up or down girlie, a textured or smooth look or are we multiple looks for the day? 💃🏽

Trial days fill up quickly! Don’t forget to DM me for your appointment 🙌🏻

Also, these half up dreamy looks are giving all these romance vibes. Such a favorite style of mine ❤️

✨ There’s something so special when it comes to Deb’s ✨

One of my repeat families, I had done the older sisters Deb and formal hair years prior and now i had the pleasure of meeting the younger sister 👯‍♀️

These girls were absolutely gorgeous 💛
