Sophie - Senior Stylist
Introducing our incredibly talented Senior Stylist, Sophie! Having completed her training at Salon Kephi, she showcases skills and creativity that truly surpass her years.
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 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, 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.
Liv - Senior Stylist
We’re thrilled to introduce Liv, our talented Senior Stylist who brings creativity, warmth, and a passion for hair to everything she does. With over 7 years in the industry, her love for hairdressing is driven by the opportunity to continuously learn and grow, while building meaningful connections with clients.
Liv’s favourite hair transformation? A honey blonde balayage, with warm tones and a deeper root—she says it’s "just heaven." She also has a special place in her heart for a tidy men’s mullet. When it comes to styling, Liv is a “scissor girly” at heart, excelling in shaggy, textured haircuts that create shape and body.
Beyond the salon, Liv is an adventurer. She enjoys spending weekends working in her family’s coffee van business, attending live music events, and exploring the coast with her golden retriever, Missy. She’s also passionate about traveling and hopes to explore more of Australia and the world in the future.
Ruby - Emerging Stylist
Introducing Ruby, our lovely emerging stylists at Salon Kephi. Ruby’s passion for hairdressing began early, sparked by a genuine interest in the hair industry while completing her Certificate II at college. She quickly discovered how much she loves the craft and was fortunate to be given the opportunity to move into an apprenticeship, where her skills and confidence continue to grow.
One of Ruby’s favourite parts of salon life is the relationships she builds, both with her clients and her fellow stylists. She loves being part of a supportive team environment where ideas are shared, skills are developed, and learning never stops. With a quiet, nurturing and easy-going nature, Ruby brings a calming presence to the salon that instantly puts people at ease.
Outside of work, Ruby enjoys spending time with her partner on his family farm, catching up with friends and family, and relaxing at home cuddled up with her four beloved dogs and a good book. Weekends often see her out in the tractor, embracing farm life.
Ruby’s biggest passion in hairdressing is making her clients feel truly special. She especially loves creating big transformations and seeing the excitement and confidence that comes from a result her clients absolutely love.
