The Essence of French Hairdressing.
What makes a great hair colourist? A great hair colourist similar to a great artist can be recognised by how their work makes others feel.
Our philosophy is all about understanding you, your desires and how you want to look and feel when you walk out of our salon.
As people want to feel more confident and reassured in their appearance, we strive to create beautiful colours and haircuts, tailored to reveal and enhance your natural beauty. Your colour should always make you look beautiful, not just your hair. As Coco Chanel said, "The best colour in the world is the one that looks good on you".
Your Hair Colour Should Be As Unique As You Are.
We customise all our techniques based on your unique features and skin tone. We ensure a personalised hair colour that reflects your individuality and what suits you best.
Your stylist will choose specific techniques and healing treatments, tailored to create a look and style that is not only beautiful but also compatible with your lifestyle because how you wear your hair is as unique as you are.

The History of 206 Arthur Street
This timber corner shop was probably built by Nicholas Le Gros and his wife, Harriet, who acquired a narrow allotment on the corner of Chester and Arthur Streets in 1883. From the mid-1880s, Nicholas and his wife operated a grocery store in the corner shop.
Le Gros also built a simple timber cottage at the western end of the lot, facing Chester Street. This cottage is now on a separate allotment. Some records refer to Nicholas Le Gros as Captain Le Gros, suggesting that like other members of the Le Gros family, he had a connection to the maritime industry.
After the death of Nicholas Le Gros in 1927, the property changed hands several times. From 1927, the shop was owned by George Heal who died in 1947.The shop is located on land which was part of 119 acres purchased by speculator, James Gibbon, in 1850 and subdivided for residential development from the 1860s-1880s.
