Hayley - Owner & Creative Director
With seventeen years of invaluable experience in the hairdressing industry, Hayley has not only honed her skills but has also collaborated and trained with some of the UK’s and New Zealand’s most talented hairstylists. Fuelled by her passion, Salon Kephi was born in Tasmania with a mission to bring this wealth of expertise to our clients, offering exceptional one-on-one hair services.
Kirra - Senior Stylist
We are crazy lucky to have this talented hair enthusiast in the Salon Kephi team!
Kirra has been interested in hairdressing from a young age. ‘I’ve always loved the idea of making people feel amazing, and now I get to live that dream’. After six years in the hairdressing industry, Kirra has come to realise soft and beautiful colours are her speciality. She loves to create that ‘lived in’ feeling so her clients can get longevity out of their appointments.
When she isn’t pursuing her passion for creating killer hair, Kirra spends her time gaming, reading a good book or camping and exploring with her family; we think she will love Tassie!
Kirra originally trained in Brisbane; When we asked Kirra, ‘what bought you to Tassie?' - ‘A slower paced, nature filled environment. Also, this amazing little salon that caught my eye’.
We are sure you will appreciate her kind presence in the salon; not the mention the talent this girl has!
Jayda - Senior Stylist
Meet our incredibly dedicated and experienced stylist, Jayda!
With almost seven years of salon experience under her belt, Jayda has become a seasoned expert in the art of hairstyling. Her current favourites in the ever-evolving world of hair trends are the timeless allure of bouncy blowdry’s and the effortlessly chic lived-in balayage.
What fuels Jayda’s passion for hairdressing is the joy she witnesses on her clients' faces after they've experienced her artistry. "Seeing how happy my clients are after they have been in my chair is truly rewarding. I thrive on learning new techniques to keep pushing the boundaries of my craft," she shares.
Jayda has set her sights on becoming a specialist in lived-in balayage, aiming to perfect the art of creating effortlessly stunning and natural looks. As modest as she may be about it, she also has some killer cutting skills which we just love to see in action!
Beyond the salon, Jayda leads an active and fulfilling life. She finds solace in going to the gym, prioritising physical health and fitness. The outdoors beckon her, whether she's travelling to new destinations or spending quality time with her family. Her favourite weekend activity? Embarking on beach trips with her cherished little family.
Sophie - Up & Coming Stylist
Meet our wonderfully talented Up & Coming Stylist, Sophie. Although she hasn’t quite finished her training, Sophie is already leagues ahead of her peers. She has passion and natural talent that most experienced stylists would kill for!!
Sophie is a natural people person, ‘I love making connections with my clients and having different conversations with different people and continuously learning’. We love having her positive energy in the salon!
She has quickly realised that she ‘loves to specialise in blondes’ with her favourite hair trend being ‘low maintenance blonde balayage’. We are happy to support her rise as a balayage specialist as we know how much you all love those low maintenance locks.
When she isn’t studying or creating amazing hair, Sophie spends her time with close friends and family, ‘I love to spend time away on the east coast of Tassie, camping and being at the beach, it’s definitely my happy place’… Well who doesn't!! ‘My life goals for the future would definitely be to own or build my own house with my partner, get a golden retriever of my own and travel and see as much of the world as I can before starting my own family’. It will be our complete pleasure at Salon Kephi to support Sophie in achieving these goals.
