Starting off the year of growth and education with @danewakefieldhair & @charliegaucihair 🔥 Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us! We’re so excited to put everything we learned into practice and continue to elevate our craft in 2025 ✨ #SaltHairSociety

Healthy hair starts with simple steps 💭 #SaltHairSociety

Just hot girl things 🔥

Don’t forget the essentials 👇🏼👇🏼 • Adjust the Temperature – Keep your straightener at a max of 180°C to minimize damage. If you have curly or thick hair, do two passes instead of turning up the heat. • Don’t Clamp Too Hard – A light, steady grip prevents dragging and unwanted lines. Let the plates glide smoothly for a sleek, even finish. • Always Use Heat Protection – Applying a heat protection shields your hair from damage and helps maintain shine. If you see steam while straightening (like you can in this video), don’t panic! That’s just the protectant evaporating as it does its job! #SaltHairSociety

This is your sign to get the chop 🤌🏼✂️

From gingerbread decorating to hairstyling, and personalised gifts for every child, it was a day filled with smiles, laughter, and connection.

Lived-in colour 🩵 All day, everyday ✨

What I would give to have this hair 😮‍💨

I’ll admit it—I hate having my colour done. As a hairdresser, people find that surprising, but I’m a doer, and I’m busyyyy (like so many of us). Sitting for hours makes me feel like I’m wasting precious time, which is why I LOVE our co-working space. You’ll probably catch me working here even when I’m not getting my colour done 😇 It’s been 9 months since my last full-colour service, and honestly, my hair still looks fab (if I do say so myself). That’s the beauty of lived-in colour! It’s low maintenance and long-lasting! Ready to experience the freedom of lived-in colour? Send us a DM to chat about your options! 🩵

High impact blonde transformation 😮‍💨 Created by Hayden 🩵

Bright blonde, soft root, fresh chop ✂️ I am livinggg for this 🙌🏼

What’s the point of having a business if its purpose goes no deeper than profit?💰 At my core, I believe in giving back—to the community, to people facing hardship, to those less fortunate. I can’t pinpoint when this value took root, but even in primary school, I tried to organise a Shave for a Cure fundraiser, though the principal declined, fearing the aftermath of everyone with coloured hair *hah*! I genuinely want to bring smiles to people’s faces, brighten their day, and do my part to support those who may not be in a fortunate place in life. This is why, at SALT—and previously as Tangled—we’ve organised fundraisers, giveaways, raffles and events for organisations like Beyond Blue, Kids Wish Foundation, the RFS, The Movement, Cancer Council, and shelters for women and children experiencing hardship. We’ve also independently collected and distributed clothing for people experiencing homelessness. We’re committed to continuing our support for organisations dedicated to helping people in their time of need, and we’d love to receive suggestions from our community on causes to support or fundraising ideas for 2025! Our final ‘give back’ of 2024 is coming up in December so keep your eyes on our Instagram for updates! We hope to come together to put big smiles on faces this Christmas 🎄 Melinda 🩵 P.s. Truely exposing myself with these pics that go as far back as 2015 (if you couldn’t tell by the quality😅).. enjoy 😂

We can’t get enough of this lived-in blonde.. Just perfect 👌🏼

Let’s talk blondes and toners 💁🏼‍♀️ When I first started hairdressing (way back when 😅), there were no root shadows, tease foils, or baby lights. if you were a foil client, we’d see you every 6-8 weeks to touch up that regrowth—no exceptions! Fast forward 16 years (ew 😂), and we have a plethora of methods to create beautiful, seamless, and long-lasting colour. However, even with the most lived-in and low-maintenance blonde, you’ll still need a toner every 8-12 weeks. Toners are semi permanent colour that do not penetrate the hair shaft. Factors like frequent styling, environmental influences (swimming, sun exposure), washing frequency, hair care products and overall hair health all affect how quickly your toner will fade. So, to keep your blonde looking its best, some tailored upkeep will always be necessary. But remember, turning down the temperature on your iron, using dry shampoo to extend washing frequency, using products suited to your hair type, and protecting your hair from saltwater and chlorine can help extend the life of your toner. Need advice on your blonde? Our DM’s are open, and we’re always happy to help with any questions 🩵

The aim of lived-in colour is to provide long-lasting, low-maintenance results by incorporating your natural colour, allowing for seamless grow-out and less frequent touch-ups. The degree of upkeep will depend on how ‘lived-in’ you want your colour to be, but this style of colour can give you anywhere between 3-6 months between large colour services! 👏🏼 For best results, we recommend a toning service between your larger services to keep your colour looking fresh 🙌🏼 Ready to experience the freedom of lived-in colour for yourself?

Here’s how we do it! 👇🏼 • Basin Balayage • As Hayden explained, it’s perfect for removing unwanted tones and buildup, providing us with a fresh canvas to gloss to your desired tone. • Root Shadow • Glossing your roots to seamlessly melt into your blonde, creating a natural and effortless blend. • Haircut • Healthy hair is key to maintaining the longevity of any colour.

Ever wondered why we tease hair before highlighting? 🤷🏼‍♀️ We especially love this technique when creating lived-in colour! Teasing the hair before highlighting is a technique we use to create a more natural and blended look. By gently backcombing sections of hair, we diffuse the line between the highlights and the rest of your hair. This, coupled with our feathering techniques ensures a soft transition between colours, giving you a beautifully seamless result 🤌🏼

Hey blondies, are you over using your toning products? If you use purple shampoo too often it can make your hair appear dull, lifeless and even sometimes darker! For best results, we recommend only using your toning products every fourth wash or so and not for the first 3-4 weeks after a fresh colour service. Save this reel as your go-to for quick tips on to use your toning products!
