Biiiiiig chop for my nina 🫶🏻

Welcoming our new neighbours, AGE. 🤎

We’re so excited to have AGE Longevity clinic as part of our Gardens space.

AGE is a doctor-led longevity and aesthetics clinic focused on a proactive approach to health, skin, ageing and hair health — combining longevity medicine, medical aesthetics, advanced skin treatments and medical support for hair loss and thinning.

Although Pause and AGE are completely separate businesses, it feels like a very natural fit to have them next door. 🫶🏻

We share a similar philosophy around thoughtful care, long-term wellbeing and investing in how you look and feel as you move through every stage of life.

Hair. Skin. Health. Longevity.

AGE Clinics

Sorry not sorry Lol but this pic was my fav! Brighter and blonder 👌💕

Smokey Mushroom transformation. 🫶Loved doing this color! Blending old streaky highlights and greys with a reverse balayage using my favourite formula.

Ever tried to take a pic of the moon? ✨

I’m completely obsessed with . Weightless, healthy, luminous hair that reflects the light so beautifully… some things really are just better experienced in real life.

We know that the best thing about your visit to Pause, besides stepping out of the salon with a gorgeous mane, is the time you get to spend with Thembi while she works her magic.

Due to countless requests, you can now book an extended head massage from Thembi at a small additional fee that goes straight to her pocket. Look out for “Thembi’s famous massage “ when booking for any hair service. 💆🏾‍♀️

I love how freehand painting leaves that beautiful natural dimension 👌

Bright where it needs to be, soft through the root, with ribbons of depth left between the blonde for a seamless, expensive-looking result 🤍 Finished with a creamy gloss for softness and shine.

I created this look for the lovely Claire by doing partial freehand painting to keep depth and dimension, a few tip-outs for brightness where it matters most, and finished with gloss (9.22 + 8.23) for that soft ch*****ne blonde. 🤩

Even though I have the luxury of being in the hair industry and can technically have my hair done whenever I want, I still don’t have three hours to sit in a salon chair.

Between running a business, being a mom, and juggling everyday life, I simply need my maintenance to fit into my day.

That’s exactly why I created Pause Express Hair Bar.

For those of us who still want the massage, the coffee and the “pause” but don’t have hours to spare. A root touch-up and blow-dry in under 45 minutes, designed to keep you looking fresh every 4–6 weeks without putting your whole day on hold.
