All of our colour is ammonia free, vegan and enriched with coconut oils and native Australian oils that make your hair glisten and shine like a slab of 24k gold; you’ll be feelin pretty rich after you feel how luscious your hair is from this colour.

Highlights

Highlight for the gods! Bring depth and vibrancy to your hair with the finest foils of your life. We’ve been known to pack over 400 foils on some beautiful heads and we are damn proud of it! The best highlighting will look like you have had no colour put through your hair, but instead that you have a personal lighting team following your hair around making it shine like the sun itself. From scattered to a full head, we will highlight your best hair qualities and leave beaming with joy.

Bleach & Tone

Bring your Scandinavian side out, show off your Gwen Stafani platinum, your Kidman strawberry blonde, a grey ice queen or a pastel punk! We love every type of bleaching under the sun and even have ammonia free bleach! We can tone your hair from any shade of blonde to any vibrant colour in our visible spectrum,although we will try and tap into the Mantis Shrimp’s colour seeing range.

Balayage/Ombre

Get a natural sun kissed looked or a vivid colour melt with either a teased or freehanded balayage application. Balayage is the technique of effortlessly blending a dark root to light ends, but we won’t stop a reverse light to dark! This is the most popular technique at the moment and our staff are trained relentlessly on the newest tricks to keep your hair healthy and you looking like a cover feature in Vogue.

Extensions

What you gonna do with all that hair? All that hair up on your head? We are magicians if you haven’t noticed, so much so we can even make your hair grow in about 120 minutes; given you have extensions of course. In this case a magician is revealing their greatest trick! Looking for longer thicker hair and don’t wanna wait, we feel you! We are trained in tape extensions and keratin bond extensions. We can order Great Lengths for you but we ask that any tape extensions be purchased through a shop like Zala and we will install them for you (uninstall is also available). We can also custom colour match your extensions so no one will know what wizardry lies beneath your crown.

Dreadlocks

Whether you are starting from scratch or just need a tightening, we are your local Collingwood dread docs. Angela can create you custom dreadlocks or install your own if you do not have hair long enough to start the journey down lock lane. Ocram and Angela can both do dread maintenance. Check out Angela’s dreads here if you would like to order: 

O&M

Original thinking. Our mission is to challenge the artificial norms of professional hair colour, styling and haircare with the message that “Healthy hair begins when it’s free from stress”.

We’re committed to researching clean, low-chemical formulations that contain many positives from quality native Australian ingredients, essential oils and minerals for healthy hair.

Using no ammonia in their colour, and even most bleaches, O&M is forward thinking hairdressing. Having no nasties is curl friendly,  sleek friendly, all around every hair type frendly. Being 100% Australian owned and operated, it is the best of the best.

Olaplex

Olaplex is a bond multiplier containing a single active ingredient, Bis-Aminopropyl Diglycol Dimaleate. Olaplex works by finding single sulfur hydrogen bonds and cross linking them back together to form disulfide bonds before, during and after services. Disulfide bonds are broken via chemical, thermal, and mechanical processes.

Bonds break when exposed to chemicals in colour, from heat, and mechanical force such as combing wet hair.

Olaplex is free of silicone, sulfates, phthalates, DEA, aldehydes, gluten and is never tested on animals.

With this technology comes the ability to push hair farther than ever before!

Manic Panic

Manic Panic is the original line of “fashion” hair colors in the USA. It’s based in New York City. Sisters Tish and Snooky Bellomo opened the Manic Panic flagship boutique on July 7, 1977, at 33 St. Marks Place, in New York City’s East Village. With $250 each, and in their over the top, first generation punk style, they offered the neighborhood cool vintage fashions, and rock n roll wear designed and made by Tish herself.

Being native New Yorkers, and deeply involved in the New York Punk music scene, they soon found themselves performing at many of the East Village venues. They performed regularly at the infamous CBGB’s, singing back up with Blondie, and their own Punk band, The Sic F*cks. Known and loved for their brilliantly colored, cutting edge hair, it wasn’t long before the Manic Panic hair colors were born. Tish and Snooky introduced their customers to not just wild, every color of the rainbow hair colors, but cosmetics to match. Soon they were distributing the hair color right out of the store. When their hair color business boomed, the boutique closed. (The NYC store’s front and signage were featured prominently in a shot in the opening montage of Saturday Night Live‘s 1980-81 season).

Tish and Snooky continue to own and run Manic Panic, NYC, whose headquarters are located in Long Island City, New York. Manic Panic hair color is now sold and distributed world wide. Being the original, Manic Panic hair color remains the leader in “fashion” hair colors, boasting 48 gorgeous shades of classic hair color, 24 shades of amplified color, 11 colors of Dye Hard styling gel, 3 volumes of bleach, 48 shades of lipstick, 32 eye colors, spectacular glitters, lashes, nail polishes, powders, foundations, and a Professional line. Manic Panic has committed to vegan, cruelty free products.

Manic Panic has been mentioned in many documentaries, crediting them for beginning what would become a trend and now the acceptance of men and women wearing “fashion” hair colors.[citation needed] Manic Panic has received numerous mentions in publications such as Interview, Vogue, Teen Vogue, Cosmopolitan, Nylon, Elle, The New York Times, The New Yorker, WRolling Stone.

Tish and Snooky continue to perform as musicians. They are the extended part of Blue Coupe, a band composed of original members of Blue Öyster Cult, along with Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee, and original Alice Cooper bassist, Dennis Dunaway. They also continue to perform with the Sic F*cks, reuniting for special occasions like tributes to CBGB’s, Joey Ramone benefits, and various animal charity events.[2]
