About Moolooba hair
THE TEAM


Ellysia
Salon Owner and Senior Hairdresser


When did you start hairdressing and why did you start up Mooloolaba Hair?

I have been hairdressing for half my life, started in 1991. My mother was a hairdresser and owned a salon in Sydney so I suppose it is in my blood. I worked in Sydney, Canberra and Cootamundra in some great salons and moved to the Sunshine Coast in 2002.

Why did I startup Mooloolaba Hair?
I bought Mooloolaba Hair in December 2004. I knew the salon well because I had worked here with a previous owner. The salon came with no clients, just the fixtures, fittings name and phone number. It was a great challenge and continues to be very rewarding. Back in 2002 I met my husband Michael in this salon so it is a very special place !!.

Favorite Styles
I love colouring hair. I love doing a restyle on someone. I will think about a clients hair cut the night before their appointment. I take hairdressing very seriously. I believe we create a piece of art which people must wear for 4-8 weeks. (it is not like a top or skirt – you cannot take it off) I like talking to all my clients and having them enjoy my hairdressing and salon. I like sharing my knowledge of hair to my client so they can understand how their hair sits and reacts to situations.

Hair Tip
Keeping your hair in good condition is critical to holding your style between salon appointments. Use good quality shampoo and conditioner, monthly
treatments and leave in conditioning sprays.to keep your hair looking fantastic.

Why you like Mooloolaba Hair?
I love the salon and the team we cave created. Everyone is hardworking and honest. I love my clients and their continued business. I feel the salon has a
great atmosphere and we give a very personal service in a warm and friendly atmosphere.

Hobbies and Interests
I love looking after my 14 month old girl Eboney. It is great to watch her grow up. She is such a happy and cute little girl. I like going down to the beach
and lying in the sun during summer. I like going to the gym to do strength and cardio – not classes. I enjoy spending time with friends and family. I like
reading books, especially detective murder mystery novels. I like watching TV shows like House, CSI, NCIS, So You Think You Can Dance and Burn Notice.

 
Peta
Senior Hairdresser

When did you start hairdressing and when did you start at Mooloolaba Hair?

What you like about hairdressing?
I love every aspect of hairdressing, the colouring, the cutting, the wonderful people I get to meet, the people I work with and for, the smells and the salon everything.

Favorite Styles
I love all the choppy asymmetrical styles that are around at the moment but I also love the classics I think the most important thing is to have a style that makes you feel confident and sexy and that suits there personality, style and face shape.

Hair Tip
My best tip is regular trims to keep your style fresh and don’t be afraid to use products they don’t damage your hair they just support your style.

Most asked hair question
My most asked question apart from how are you is probably about what style suits people and what doesn’t.

Why you like working at Mooloolaba Hair
I love working with Ellysia and Sarah and I love working here because the salon has a wonderfull atmosphere, it looks a million bucks and everyone that walks out of here looks and feels that way too. I also like giving my clients one on one service. So all in all it’s a wonderful place to work.

Hobbies and Interests
My hobbies are reading, snorkeling, boating, surfing in the summer, anything to do with the beach really, don’t mind fishing too. I love going bushwalking with my mum and I love clothes but hate shopping. Absolutely love animals, any of them. I like tatoo’s but don’t have one, I have always wanted to pierce my nose but Im too much of a whimp to do it. I hate facebook it does my head in. I love my huge family and I would move heaven and earth for them in a second, and surprise surprise I’m a workaholic. .
